CVS administration

Note that this info is obsolete, we now use svn. See documentation elsewhere.

• Where is the repository? Type ` locate repository` to see repository location.

As part of the installation routine, every new user is assigned to the group “cvs”. Add the new user to the group cvs.

Run the command

cvs -d /usr/local/cvs/repository/ co gt

(This might work for the user, without root privileges, I am not sure). What does work is the following:

Be root. Go to the home directory of the new user. Write “cvs get gt”.

Cf. Eero’s explanation:

[root@gitek cvsrep]# groups sjur
sjur : sjur
Aha. Sjur ei ole ryhm�ss� lingsoft, jolla on oikeudet gt-hakemistoon.

[root@gitek cvsrep]# groups kristin
kristin : kristin
[root@gitek cvsrep]# /usr/sbin/usermod -G lingsoft kristin
[root@gitek cvsrep]# groups kristin
kristin : kristin lingsoft

Nyt pit�isi toimia:

[root@gitek cvsrep]# su -l sjur
[sjur@gitek sjur]$ cvs get gt
cvs checkout: Updating gt
cvs checkout: Updating gt/doc
<......>

Jep, toimii. Nyt Kristinin pit�isi saada tiedostot ulos komentamalla
cvs get gt




This is a command that perhaps is irrelevant?


[root@gitek cvsrep]# ls -lart gt
drwxrwsr-x   10 trond    lingsoft     4096 feb 15 17:42 gt
