I didn't know installing cvs would be this complicated... I was actually looking all over the internet for tutorials on how to install cvs. I found tutorials that show people as root installing and using cvs, but I guess those tutorials are wrong. (See http://www.linux.ie/articles/tutorials/cvs.php)

I am definitely unfamiliar with that syntax. I mean, is nn0() a function that takes a "c/c++" style char *? >choose one of the groups of which you (and your other users) are a part >as the group for your /cvs repository. > % chgrp -R nameN /cvs > % find /cvs -type d -print |xargs chmod g+rwxs I am actually very new to linux as I have been using windows for about 10 years. >You need to be able to create lock directories in the /cvs repository >and if it is owned by root and you are not a member of the group for the >directory, this will be a problem. I have no idea what a lock directory is... and I definitely don't know how to make groups own a certain directory. If there's a book for total linux noobies on how to install cvs, I will definitely buy that book. Either that or I'll end up spending a couple months trying to figure out everything. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
