[WBEL-users] CVS

[bishop]

Chris,

That's odd, as 'cvs -d /home/cvs init' I think is what I'm doing in my 
RPM.  I usually install that via:

	apt-get install user-account-cvs

Usually that's not even installed by hand, but included in a virtual 
RPM's dependencies and so grabbed on the way by (apt-get install 
build-box, for instance).  Tested on the old (ol311) to the new (FC2 and 
WBEL) . Forget where I have it installed.  Requires cvsonly and cvs.

Hmm. I lied.  It's:

> cvs -d ~cvs init ; chown -R cvs.cvs ~cvs/CVSROOT 

Ya don't need the CVSROOT=crap on the first go, do ya really?  Does it 
misbehave otherwise?  I'd test it myself, but hte package I use to drop 
in the cvsroot= into profile.d will rip out other stuff, and it's toooo 
late for me to even think of messing with my boxen.
