About qcvs
==========

   qcvs is currently in his first stage of developement.

   This program is part of the CvsGui project, a set of cvs front-end
applications which use a native framework for each platform. More
informations can be found on the existing applications (MacCvs and WinCvs)
on the GvsGui main page http://www.wincvs.org.

   qcvs is not fully functional yet : Only the some dialogs are implemented so far.
But the whole thing is mostly there and the core of the application is working
(the three panes, the buttons, the cvs launching...).

   Finally qcvs is looking a lot like WinCvs.

Installing qcvs
===============

   You need two tar archives ("XX" stands for the minor version number) :

   * qcvs-1.0XX.tar.gz : the source code of qcvs. qcvs requires
     qt-1.41 or higher (http://www.troll.no).
   * cvsshl-1.10.XX.tar.gz : the source code of cvs-1.10 modified
     in order to compile as a shared library.

   1) gzip -d -c qcvs-1.0XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   2) cd qcvs-1.0XX
   3) gzip -d -c ../cvsshl-1.10.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   4) cd cvsshl-1.10.XX
   5) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/qcvs
   6) make; make install
   7) cd ..
   8) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/qcvs
   9) make; make install

   Note 1 : You probably need to locate for qcvs the shared library located in
$prefix/lib by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or by playing with ldconfig.
   Note 2 : I personnaly compile using egcs (http://www/cygnus/com/egcs). This
may have an impact.

   10) qcvs

   At the start-up, qcvs is asking for the CVSROOT and the authentication.
You can change these informations later if you like.

   When you got the main window opened, choose the "Locate Browser" icon and
point-out an existing checked-out copy or use the checkout option to
create one (checkout is not implemented yet).

   After the browser should help you to figure how to use qcvs. Each file/folder
has a specific icon which reflects the cvs status. Click a folder and click
the update button... You got the idea.
