I have finally managed to announce that
http://alexm.here.ru/cvs-nserver/
contains cvs-nserver-1.10.7.1 for couple of weeks already. cvs-nserver is
the rewritten and improved :pserver: mode for CVS.
Primary features include:
* all security-critical code splitted into separate executables.
Main CVS binary does not do authentication, authorization or
anything else too critical;
* authentication layer is very well separated from other parts of
CVS subsystem so allowing:
+ virtual repositories support (entire repository with
unlimited number of virtual users is run under two system
accounts and is completely manageable over network;
+ simplest authentication module can authenticate against
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files;
+ PAM-aware authentication module is included and could do any
authentication you could imagine in PAM (Pluggable
Authentication Modules) framework;
* complete compatibility with existing clients base around the world
is maintained;
* all new features are completely documented in chapter "Network
repositories" in cvs.info;
* todo items include support for SSL, improved work over firewalls
and various proxies, Access Control Lists, flexible assigning of
port numbers to repositories, mini-clients (without RCS-files code
inside, able to work only over network).
I need feedback.
