How do you check out a package via CVS in EA

[dre1988]

hi all,

my team just started using an existing CVS instance for EA version control. we've been able to add an entire EA project to a CVS repository and check it out. however, we'd like to use CVS for version control on individual packages within the EA project. this will allow different team members to work on their packages in the project concurrently.

however, we do not see any option to check out a package when we right-click on the package and select Package Control.

can someone please provide instructions on checking out a package located within an EA project?

thank you!

What do you mean by "add an entire EA project to a CVS repository and check it out"? Did you put the entire .eap file into CVS?
You have to set up version control in EA (menu Project -> Version Control) and then you can put each separate package under version control. Each version-controlled package is exported in XML and this XML files are stored in repository.
