Creating a user area in the CMSSW repository
|
| 5 |
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
| 6 |
|

|
|
There is an area called "UserCode" in the CMSSW repository where you can
|
| 8 |
|
|
create yourself a package to store your code and cfg files, for example:
|
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
UserCode/PElmer
|
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
Note that this area is primarily intended for "user" code which will never
|
| 13 |
|
|
go into CMSSW software releases. If you intend for your code to go into
|
| 14 |
|
|
CMSSW releases, you should probably just request a normal package with the
|
| 15 |
|
|
normal procedure via the Tag Collector.
|
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
To create such a user CVS area for yourself, do the following:
|
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
1) Choose a packagename for yourself. Typically this should be your
|
| 20 |
|
|
name (e.g. with some capitalization as above, or your CERN unix
|
| 21 |
|
|
username, etc.) so that it is semi-obvious whose package it is.
|
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
2) Then create your package (here for an example "JohnDoe" user):
|
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
(set your CVSROOT to point to the CMSSW CVS repository)
|
| 26 |
|
|
('cd' to some temporary area)
|
| 27 |
|
|
cvs co UserCode/README
|
| 28 |
|
|
mkdir UserCode/JohnDoe
|
| 29 |
|
|
cvs add UserCode/JohnDoe
|
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
In general it is advisable to structure it like a normal CMSSW package,
|
| 32 |
|
|
i.e. with the same subdirectory structure. To do this, you can do:
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
mkdir UserCode/JohnDoe/src UserCode/JohnDoe/interface
|
| 35 |
|
|
cvs add UserCode/JohnDoe/src UserCode/JohnDoe/interface
|
| 36 |
|
|
mkdir UserCode/JohnDoe/data UserCode/JohnDoe/test
|
| 37 |
|
|
cvs add UserCode/JohnDoe/data UserCode/JohnDoe/test
|
| 38 |
|
|
|
| 39 |
|
|
If you do not think you need some of these subdirectories at the
|
| 40 |
|
|
moment, you simply do not 'mkdir' and 'cvs add' them.
|
| 41 |
|
|
|
| 42 |
|
|
3) Then you can 'cd' into the "src" area of some scram working/developer
|
| 43 |
|
|
area and do:
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
cvs co UserCode/JohnDoe
|
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
and begin to add your code and cfg files to the subdirectories. If you
|
| 48 |
|
|
need a BuildFile, you can copy an example from a normal CMSSW package
|
| 49 |
|
|
and edit it to serve your purposes.
