Site Setup

Migrating your local CVS checkouts to Git

Use Drush to download the Drupal core -- drupal-5.x or drupal-6.x -- note that .x will check out the current dev.

cd /var/www/<project>
drush dl drupal-6.12 --package-handler=cvs
mv drupal htdocs

Alternatively you can check it out via CVS

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -d htdocs -r DRUPAL-6-12 drupal 

-d htdocs is the directory you want to install into -r DRUPAL-6-12 is the drupal version

This will allow you to update later using

cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-6-15

During initial checkout the revision level is as follows: -r DRUPAL-5 -d contrib-5.x-1.x contributions -r DRUPAL-6--1 -d contrib-6.x-1.x contributions -r DRUPAL-6--2 -d contrib-6.x-2.x contributions

PLEASE NOTE: You MUST install the module CVS Deploy when checking out from CVS so that Drupal correctly handles module and core updates.
