4.12.3.1 CVS

The CVS build step performs a CVS checkout or update. It takes the following arguments:

cvsroot

(required): specify the CVSROOT value, which points to a CVS repository, probably on a remote machine. For example, the cvsroot value you would use to get a copy of the Buildbot source code is :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/buildbot

cvsmodule

(required): specify the cvs module, which is generally a subdirectory of the CVSROOT. The cvsmodule for the Buildbot source code is buildbot.

branch

a string which will be used in a -r argument. This is most useful for specifying a branch to work on. Defaults to HEAD.

global_options

a list of flags to be put before the verb in the CVS command.

checkout_options

export_options

extra_options

a list of flags to be put after the verb in the CVS command. checkout_options is only used for checkout operations, export_options is only used for export operations, and extra_options is used for both.

checkoutDelay

if set, the number of seconds to put between the timestamp of the last known Change and the value used for the -D option. Defaults to half of the parent Build's treeStableTimer.
