Grid Engine Site Tool Documentation



CVS and hosted tools

This site features the following hosted tools for project members. Each of the following links leads to further documentation about using these tools.

You can use CVS to access the Grid Engine source code. You need to have a CVS client. Most Linux machines by default, have the command-line client installed. You might also want to visit the CVS Web site, which lists the available CVS clients for different platforms, their strengths, and weaknesses. You also need to read the Cederqvist manual that includes most CVS clients that are used for general information. Tips on this page will assume command-line usage on UNIX® using Bourne shell.

CVS source code version control
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a widely used version control tool for tracking all modifications to project source code files. Developers can work on the same files and coordinate their contributions through a common repository.

CVSWeb source code browsing
CVSWeb source code browsing gives project contributors a graphical, browser-based tool to view project files, version histories, and directory structures.

IssueZilla issue tracking
IssueZilla is a customizable open source tool for reporting, tracking, and managing all project tasks, defects, features, enhancements, and patches.

Mailing list management and archiving
Two open-source mail tools -- anzu and eyebrowse -- provide powerful, scalable functionality to administer, moderate, customize, and archive project mailing lists.

Tunneling with SSH
SSH provides the security that is required by software development projects. SSH can be used to create a transparent "port tunnel" to the CVS (concurrent versions system) server, unobtrusively insuring the security of the data exchanged.
