Re: Setting up CVS

2004-09-13 Thread Fernando Silveira
Michael,
  Maybe you are thinking that it is set but it is not. If you're using 
bash and the command set to set it, it does not set the 
ENVIRONMENTAL variable. To set it use the command export. Each shell 
has its own command (csh is setenv). To avoid this mistake, use the 
-d option telling your CVSROOT as in cvs -d /backups.save/CVS

If you are using a bourne shell variant

export CVSROOT

if you are using a C shell variant (csh or tcsh)

setenv CVSROOT /backup.save/CVS

just because you have a local variable in your shell does not mean that
the cvs command wil lsee it.

Also, you will want to make sure that the repository is initialized:

  cvs -d /backups.save/CVS init

Sounds like you did not do a cvs init before your
import. The command creates the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT

Good question. That single sentence made me aware that CVS does need a 
valid OS user for writing. Karl Fogel and Moshe Bar seem to impress me 
otherwise.

Now I aliased the file/fold owner to a OS user cvs_user in the passwd 
file in the CVSROOT. But it still causes problems.

For example, I modified a file (index.html), then tried to update

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/CVSrootDir update
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs server: Updating sequeN
cvs server: conflict: sequeN/index.html is modified but no longer in the 
repository
C sequeN/index.html

When I issue commit, I got this:

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/CVSrootDir commit -m 
Test commit
cvs commit: Examining sequeN
cvs server: Up-to-date check failed for `sequeN/index.html'
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

I think this is permission problem. There are two sets of permissions. 
The OS level permission and the CVS system permission. I am completely 
confused about the CVS permissions. How do they work?

are you able to 'cvs checkout CVSROOT' ?

 I have CVSROOT set to -- :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS

So, you plan to use either rsh or ssh as your transport depending on
the value of your CVS_RSH environment variable.

It would be best if you get cvs working first and then looked at getting
cvsweb working. Note that 'viewcvs' is considered by many to be 'better'
than 'cvsweb' but both should work fine once you get a working cvs server.
 
 within my /etc/profile, i have tried...
  CVSROOT=/CVS
 # CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS
 # CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS
 # CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS

are you exporting these variables externally?

export CVSROOT

after you have set them?
 
 within /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver.. i have
 service cvspserver
 {
 port= 2401
 disable = no
 socket_type = stream
 protocol= tcp
 wait= no
 user= root
 #passenv = PATH
 server  = /usr/bin/cvs
 #env = HOME=/home/CVSROOT
 server_args = -f --allow-root=/CVS pserver
 }
 
 I'm also trying to install Cvsweb.

Treat this as two separate operations. Ignore cvsweb until you have cvs
working.
 
 My questions I understand that you really want SSH for the security...
 But if I use CVSROOT=ext, do I need to change the cvspserver
 information, specifically the line that has pserver..???

If you are using :ext: then you are using '${CVS_RSH:-rsh} cvs server'
to connect to the server. If you are using :pserver: then you are using
the port 2401 connection method. The two are totally separate. If you
have one, you do not need the other. You do not NEED to setup the
cvspserver if you are going to use :ext: as it will never be used.

 If I don't use SSH... and just go with CVSROOT=\CVS, how does that change
 the line that has pserver???

If you are using \CVS bad things will happen as Redhat likes forward
slashes like /CVS rather than backward slashes like \CVS.

If you are using CVSROOT=/CVS then you are not using client/server mode
at all and just accessing a local repository.
 
 How can I actually test this to make sure it works!!!

Did you use 'make check' when you built cvs or are you using a prebuilt
RPM that redhat ships?

mkdir testit
cd testit
cvs -d /CVS init
cvs -d /CVS checkout CVSROOT
cd CVSROOT
ls ;# you should see some files here
...

does the above work for you? If so, then cvs is working in local mode.
If you try it like this:

mkdir testit
cd testit
cvs -d :ext:server2.mesa.com:/CVS init
cvs -d :ext:server2.mesa.com:/CVS checkout CVSROOT
cd CVSROOT
ls ;# you should see some files here

it will use the remote connection via either rsh or ssh depending on how
you have set the CVS_RSH environment variable.

 Assuming I get this to work..what changes need to be made regarding CVSWEB.
 I try to get CVSWEB running and I get a log error saying that the cvsweb.cgi
 script is having an issue over an invalid character... I assume that I don't
 have CVS actually running correctly

Seems likely... concentrate on first getting cvs working before playing
with cvsweb.
 
 I'd like to basically insure that CVS is running.. and then get CVSWEB
 running... and then be able to access CVS via a remote server as well as a
 remote browser running CVSWEB

Good, focus is good. :-)

Good luck,

pserver doesn't have to be running to use CVS via SSH or locally (like

As to logging in, another alternative is to use ssh's auto-login ability.
This may be overkill on a local network, but it works smoothly. We use it
internally to maintain uniformity with the remote CVS servers over the
insecure InterNet. 

There are some tools for migrating VSS-CVS if I recall. I've never done it
personally.

I'm still migrating some projects into CVS. I need to do another one now, in
fact. I normally just make sure I have a clean copy of only files to check
in, with directories, etc. and do an import. Do watch out for binaries,
though.

 1. cvsadminas a user or group?

 There is no 'cvsadmin' account.  However, you should set up a cvs group, and
 add all the accounts that will use cvs to this group.

Actually, CVS does respect a cvsadmin group.  If it exists it restricts access
to the 'cvs admin' command to users tof that group.  What you said about the
cvs group is a decent recommendation though.


 2. I've setup up /usr/local/cvsroot filesystem. Who should
own this filesystem. I've temporarily set it to dev as the

 You just have to make sure that the cvs group or user has read and write

Well, they only need write permissions to directories they need write access to

Do you (a) want a Unix server to authenticate from an NT domain controller?

AFAIK this would require a PAM-enabled version of CVS, which hasn't been done yet.

Download the NT server from http://betty.magenta-logic.com/cvs, and install/run it 
(see readme.nt).  Once it's
installed and running as a service it's essentially the same operation as per the 
standard documentation.
