On Sun, 09 Jun 2002, Chris just had to get this off his chest:
Any one have a reference/usl for installing CVS on SuSE. Have not done it before and most references IM seeing are RH specific or overly complicated..
It's not different from setting it up on another distro. - Install the cvs package. - make a new group cvs - make a new group cvsadmin - make yourself member of cvsadmin and cvs - also make other users that use CVS member of cvs - make a new user cvs, primary group cvs, home = /usr/local/repository (can be any directory of course, this will be $CVSROOT), shell = /bin/false, passwd = '*' (not valid) - chmod g+s $CVSROOT If you want to use cvs from a remote host: - Edit /etc/inetd.conf: cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvs /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -f \ --allow-root=/usr/local/repository pserver - Do killall -HUP inetd - cvs -d /usr/local/repository init - chown -R root.cvsadmin $CVSROOT/CVSROOT - make a file in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT called 'writers' with the names of the users who are allowed to write in the system (each name on a seperate line) - Read the manual to use the CVS CLI or use a GUI client to fill the system (tkcvs, LinCVS, WinCVS etc). - Read the manual - Read the manual - Read the manual Theo -- Theo v.
