RE: new member Problem with huge files/folders in CVS
Hi,
I tried the method given in your response:-
Added
env+= TMPDIR=/path/to/some/other/directory/for/tmp
In cvspserver.
It works!! Thanks very much the guidance.
Regards,
Ahalya

For :pserver: use via xinetd, I suspect you should
be able to specify the TMPDIR environment variable
to point to the directory you desire be used.
I suspect that something like this:
service cvspserver
{
port= 2401

user= root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
env+= TMPDIR=/path/to/some/other/directory/for/tmp
}
might do what you need... However, as I do not use
or recommend the use of :pserver: mode, I have not
actually tried it.

I added these lines to cvs.conf TMPDIR=$BASETMPDIR/cvstmp/$$ export TMPDIR mkdir -p $TMPDIR chmod 777 $TMPDIR trap rm -rf $TMPDIR 0 The extra server sets BASETMPDIR in its cvspserver script.

Thanks for the info although you quoted me wrong on my second question, your answer made sense. 'twas meant as an analogy. s'okay, you mispelled my name :-) So to be more specific, I will be setting up CVS for a multi platform, multi OS environment where the developers will work either/or remotely in the office, some of them are very junior and some of them highly experience. I will also be supporting those users so I was thinking of using a web client so that I would only have to support one CVS client. There are fans of both WinCVS and jCVS. I'm not a GUI user myself, but in those cases where I had to choose, I prefer the Java GUI clients because then (as you indicated) I only had one client to support for any platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc). If your junior coders know how to use vi, then they could certainly handle cmd-line cvs. On the other hand, if they live and breathe in TextPad or some other Windows editor, then WinCVS or jCVS would seem to fit the bill. You may consider this an opportunity to upgrade the skills of your junior coders. I've been in a situation similar to yours a couple of times, and what we did in each case was take a week to teach the junior members how to use Cygwin (or U/Win, in one shop), or true telnet/ssh to a Unix dev box, and make the investment in training the team to learn how to use a real development environment. Most were able to make the transition, and the whole group benefited as a result. Those who couldn't learn how to work in a command-line environment...well, perhaps t'were best that those mis-hires were identified sooner rather than later. It's a tough world. Any client -- any at all -- should be able to bridge the working locally vs working remotely gap. By best I meant easy to support, easy to learn, lots of functionality and a high quality product that is stable, and offer good security. Do any of the web clients fit that bill? I'm not aware of any web-based client that is good for anything except browsing the tree (as opposed to real development). Besides, the security of any web-based client would be entirely dependent on whether you had an SSL certificate for HTTP/S, or a private VPN/intranet, etc. -MZ ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
