<span id="appendix-guides-vcs"></span><h1>Version control systems<a class="headerlink" href="#version-control-systems" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The sections in this guide only cover the basics steps in the setup of
the different version control systems for usage with the Bcfg2.</p>
<div class="section" id="git">
<h2>Git<a class="headerlink" href="#git" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Adding the <a class="reference internal" href="../../server/plugins/version/git.html#server-plugins-version-git"><em>Git</em></a> plugin will allow you to
store version information in the statistics database. For tracking the
configuration files in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/var/lib/bcfg2</span></tt> directory a git repository
needs to be established:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>git init</pre>
</div>
<p>For more detail about the setup of git please refer to a <a class="reference external" href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html">git tutorial</a>.
The first commit can be the empty or the already populated directory:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>git add . && git commit -a</pre>
</div>
<p>While running <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bcfg2-info</span></tt> the following line will show up:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>Initialized git plugin with git directory = /var/lib/bcfg2/.git</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="mercurial">
<h2>Mercurial<a class="headerlink" href="#mercurial" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../../server/plugins/version/hg.html#server-plugins-version-hg"><em>Mercurial (Hg)</em></a> plugin also allows you to store
version information in the statistics database.</p>
<p>To use mercurial to track your configuration files, the repository must
be initialized:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg init</pre>
</div>
<p>Mercurial will not commit the files to the repository until a user name
is defined in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/var/lib/bcfg2/.hg/</span></tt></p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre>cat <span class="s"><<END_ENTRY >> /var/lib/bcfg2/.hg/hgrc</span>
<span class="s">[ui]</span>
<span class="s">username = Yor name <you@example.com></span>
<span class="s">END_ENTRY</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now you are able to make submissions to the repository:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>hg commit</pre>
</div>
<p>While running <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bcfg2-info</span></tt> the following line will show up:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>Initialized hg plugin with hg directory = /var/lib/bcfg2/.hg</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="darcs">
<h2>Darcs<a class="headerlink" href="#darcs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../../server/plugins/version/darcs.html#server-plugins-version-darcs"><em>Darcs</em></a> plugin also allows you to store
version information in the statistics database.</p>
<p>To use darcs to track your configuration files, the repository must
be initialized:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>darcs initialize</pre>
</div>
<p>To commit to the darcs repository an author must be added to the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_darcs/prefs/author</span></tt> file. If the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">author</span></tt> file is missing,
darcs will ask you to enter your e-mail address.</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre>cat <span class="s"><<END_ENTRY >> /var/lib/bcfg2/_darcs/prefs/author</span>
<span class="s">you@example.com</span>
<span class="s">END_ENTRY</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>All files in the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/var/lib/bcfg2</span></tt> directory should be added to darcs
now:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>darcs add *</pre>
</div>
<p>After that you can submit them to the repository:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>darcs record</pre>
</div>
<p>While running <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bcfg2-info</span></tt> the following line will show up:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>Initialized Darcs plugin with darcs directory = /var/lib/bcfg2/_darcs</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="cvs">
<h2>Cvs<a class="headerlink" href="#cvs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../../server/plugins/version/cvs.html#server-plugins-version-cvs"><em>CVS</em></a> plugin also allows you to store
version information in the statistics database.</p>
<blockquote>
<div>plugins = Base,Bundler,Cfg,...,Cvs</div></blockquote>
<p>The CVS repository must be initialized:</p>
