do you do for frequent releases? When do you branch and merge? I've

Hi All,
I currently have a big repository running in pserver mode (all as one user
to avoid users modifying directly the files).
I'm using cvs-1.10.8 with the edit -c patch
to enable reserved editing.
cvs is running through inetd in pserver mode.
files of the repository are accessed through NFS.
I do not wish to receive these newsletters. But thanks for letting me try
it!

If you're not using LockDir in CVSROOT/config, Emptydir needs to be
writable so that users can create lock files in it; if you are using
LockDir to put the lock files elsewhere, then it does not ne

You shouldn't need to uninstall anything -- just install the new
version.

Hello,
Well, CVSWeb can be configured to hide modules, and you can
restrict _access_ to a directory by using regular UNIX groups.
However, I don't think there's a way to hide a directory from
the client.
Also, note that the above will cause errors to be displayed on the
client everytime they d
Assuming you are using a UNIX-ish OS, just change group ownership
on the directories in the repo, make them writeable, and set the
SGID bit on them.
Also, make sure the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history file is writeable
by this group.
HTH,

When you checkout a directory tree, every directory in the tree must map

For the major enhancements (reserved locks and multiple edits per user), I've

Specifically, the features that need testing are:

In our environment I have a set of c-files which are output
of our masterbuild process. These files tends to become very large
