Changing default port for pserver and kserver

Hello, I would like to change the default ports for a pserver and a kserver. For a kserver, CVS uses the CVS_CLIENT_PORT, but the manual does not mention any variable for the pserver. Is the pserver port hard coded? If not how can one change it? Thanks for any input. Arash. ___

Sidestepping the issue of links in CVS, I'm unclear on the problem you're trying to solve. We have a number of perl scripts stored in CVS which share a large set of common library modules. They work exactly as you describe, in that they are able to bootstrap themselves onto any machine they are c

Well, pserver + CVSROOT/passwd is one thing, but using pserver with the default authentication of the system isn't so bad. Passwords are stored in the same way that /etc/passwd encrypts them. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Castle S

We've just discovered that someone checked in or changed a whole slew of files in our CVS tree to be handled as binary files when, in fact, none of these files are binary at all. This has caused us to not be able to diff, merge, etc. - which is obviously a major problem. I want to know if there is

RE: checking in links to source control

How does something that "implies a build system" have a drawback "as far as maintainability"? Setup a Common or PerlCommon module in your repository. Control the Config::INI in that module. This makes it clear that the file doesn't belong to a specific project and doesn't require multiple global
