Well, our situation was much more complex than "Courier's". Not only did we upgrade the server hardware, we went from FreeBSD to a Sun workstation, and upgraded the server version from a very old 1.10.[something] to 1.11.5 We have several remote repositories that mirror portions of the main repository, and our main repository mirrors portions of the remote repositories. We also have developed a client/server utility (LCVS - "Leitch extensions to CVS") that runs in conjunction with CVS, to provide some functionality that the stock CVS program doesn't - the ability for users to change their own passwords, or the ability to execute an 'ls' command in the current directory, for example.
Most of the minor glitches we encountered had to do with porting the LCVS utility to Sun, while maintaining FreeBSD compatibility (the remote repositories still run FreeBSD). Setting up permissions is sufficiently different on Sun than on FreeBSD (don't ask me the details - I'm not a UNIX sysadmin) that we had to do some fine-tuning. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
