How to configure CVS server for integration?
Answer
Note: Integration is available in BUGtrack PRO only.

BUGtrack uses CVS ability to send 'cvs commit' log information to custom handler. The following instructions show how to set up a "trigger" script (which will notify BUGtrack whenever a checkin related to a bug occurs) on a Windows-based CVS server.


1. Check out the CVSROOT directory:



2. Save CVSupdate.zip locally, extract 'CVSupdate.wsf' script file in the CVSROOT directory and add it to the repository:



3. Customize that file as follows:



Edit Host variable to match your BUGtrack host name.
Edit License variable to specify your BUGtrack license number. You may pick it up from Admin > Preferences.

4. Edit the file loginfo, adding one line at the end as shown here:



5. Edit the file checkoutlist, adding one line at the end as shown here:



6. Checkin your changes



Now CVS server is configured to POST checkins data to BUGtrack.

For client setup see Client setup for CVS integration.
