The big trick here is to reduce the reason for them to be _where_ they can make a fat-finger. As I (in an overbearing manner) suggested, only put things in the repository that the users need to get to through cvs, and if you are CMing other things, they should be in other directories that are controlled by a different CM agent (which might be A single human||user), not all users need write access to _all_ the directories with the artifacts contained in them. > or the mistaken > impression that they're on server A when, in fact they're on server B.

The big thing though is to get the users to _ consistently _ use the _ remote _ access method, even when they are on the server local to the hard drive. In short, all users should ALWAYS use a remote access method to the same 'remote' computer even when they are on the 'remote' computer. I have accomplished this by having a script for each project, that when the person changes to a new project they start sourceing the appropriate script to setup things like $CVSROOT, path to libs, compilers and programing tools (as needed), this way we have configuration management over the pertinent parts of the environment the program is being created in. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
