Setting up CVS
I'm trying to setup CVS on a Linux box. I've created the directory for the repository, and set CVSROOT. When I try to import a project, I get the error: cvs import: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [import aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

Re: Setting up CVS
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 Fernando Silveira.

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.

Setting up CVS server on Linux
Hi there, I posted the problem earlier when I was terribly confused. I now try to present it more clearly. I am trying to set up a CVS pserver on a Linux box. But I can only login and checkout from the local box, cannot checkout from a remote box although I can login from a remote box. From nowhere can I commit into the repository. I tried both Fedora Core 1, and RedHat 8.0. They behave the same way. When issue commit command, I get cvs commit: Examine seq ... Fatal error, aborting. cvs: no such user What could be the problem? My guess is the pserver somehow cannot read/process the passwd file properly. Yet I can login, even checkout.

okay.
I think I have CVS working... but I'm not really sure!!!
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.
When I try to access CVSWEB from the web server, I'm getting an error
indicating an error:

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. :-)

Setting Up CVS to email notifications
I'm reading through Version Management with CVS (Per Cederqvist), and I'm a bit confused how I set up mail notifcations for my end users. I would like CVS to contact a mail server and send mail from a CVS_Admin account to the User_In_Question account when a file is being watched. From my reading I understand that I need to create a file in CVSROOT called users and that I have to put in a line like: user_in_question:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and then uncomment the relevant line in CVSROOT/notify. Are my assumptions correct? How do I configure the server to mail from a particular account? How do I configure the message body of the email? Exactly how is this working?

Setting up CVS for use with Pserver
Hello all,
I have read the docs about setting up pserver and the permissions needed
and all of that, but I don't see things working like they are documented.
I have xinetd 2.3.0 and cvs is configured as such:
service cvspserver
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv =
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/cvs pserver
}
/cvs is owned by cvsuser with the group of users. The permissions on the
directory are 775.
when I try to login as a user in the /cvs/CVSROOT/passwd file whois mapped
to local user (not cvsuser) I get the following error:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
I am assuming I shouldn't be running the server as root, but maybe as the
cvsuser user, but how do I do the directory permissions in this case since
cvsuser surely won't be able to setuid to whatever user logs in. I have
multiple projects where I want users added the project's group and be able
to only read/write in their projects and be denide access for the other
projects. Basically, I want a user's access based on what groups they are
members of.
I know that isn't exactly clear, but anyone out there want to take a stab at
pointing me in the right direction? Docs or anything like that?
Thanks,
Patrick

Setting Up CVS - RSH problems
Hello CVS Users, I am setting up CVS on a Solaris 7 system and am having trouble with the rsh command. According to section 2.9.2 (Connecting with rsh) of the CVS manual I need to be able to run this command... rsh -l bach faun.example.org 'echo $PATH' ...and get a result that contains a PATH which includes the location of the CVS program. Since I am using the Korn Shell I have setup the PATH in the .kshrc file on the remote system I am rsh'ing to. However, the result of the above command never contains the correct PATH. Actually, as far as I can tell the .kshrc file is never even sourced. I suppose this question is really all Unix and not really CVS, but I was hoping someone may have some thoughts on this.

Re: Setting up CVS - newbie - help
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.

Setting up CVS - newbie - help
I have decided to use CVS on Linux for developing a web application where I
work. The idea is to run a Java web server (Tomcat, etc.) on the Linux box,
along with CVS for version control. Now I have pserver up and running on
boot (it least it looks good so far). It's configured to start by xinetd
(the box is Redhat 7.2).
So now where do I go from here? I come from the Visual SourceSafe world
where I simply imported files into VSS via Visual Studio. Where do I start
getting my CVS environment setup? Do I need to create directories in my Java
web server path and import THOSE files? Or do I create a separate directory
just for source, import those into the system and then somehow publish OUT
of CVS into the Java web server directory where the application will reside.
This is the big stumbling block for me right now. I'm confused (since I've
only read limited documentation) as to what exactly is taking place when you
import a directory. So I'm not aware of where exactly that directory we're
importing should be located and what significance its location is really.
Any direction on this would be very much appreciated.
Lastly, I'm not sure exactly where my password is supposed to be stored. I
mean, I've tried using the following command structure from my Windows
box.
c:\ cvs -d:\pserver:mylinuxusername@mylinuxip:/mycvsrootpath init
And I get
cvs init: authorization failed: server {mylinuxip} rejected access to
{mycvsrootpath} for user {mylinuxusername}
cvs init: used empty password; try cvs login with a real password
So I'm not sure exactly at which point I'm supposed to be passing the
password in.
Hope someone can help me. I plan on learning CVS better soon, but I'd just
like to get it up and running to prove proof of concept for what I'd like to
do (Use Visual SlickEdit with CVS).

Setting up CVS password on NT
Hi everybody, I need to set up CVS for accepting user-id and password on NT in the cvs.html its been written as follows: On the server side, the file `/etc/inetd.conf' needs to be edited so inetd knows to run the command cvs pserver when it receives a connection on the right port. By default, the port number is 2401; it would be different if your client were compiled with CVS_AUTH_PORT defined to something else, though. If your inetd allows raw port numbers in `/etc/inetd.conf', then the following (all on a single line in `inetd.conf') should be sufficient: 2401 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver You could also use the `-T' option to specify a temporary directory. The `--allow-root' option specifies the allowable CVSROOT directory. Clients which attempt to use a different CVSROOT directory will not be allowed to connect. If there is more than one CVSROOT directory which you want to allow, repeat the option. If your inetd wants a symbolic service name instead of a raw port number, then put this in `/etc/services': cvspserver 2401/tcp and put cvspserver instead of 2401 in `inetd.conf'. Once the above is taken care of, restart your inetd, or do whatever is necessary to force it to reread its initialization files. But what's the equivalent of it for NT.

Once it's installed and running as a service it's essentially the same operation as per the standard documentation. have started downloading the CVS 1.10.8NT patched tar.gz.. thanx a lot for your help regards narendra
