Hi all,
from my reading of the docs (I'm new to CVS), you can have reserved check
outs if you issue a cvs admin -l. I've tried this (I'm using CVS 1.11), it
locks the file but still allows another user to check this file out. How can
we force reserved checkouts only ?
Dear Sir,
Thanks for reply.
According to your instruction i have done all the things but didn't succeed.
following i have added in the inetd.conf

But I do need to use reserved checkouts - I have examined the issues for and
against and have decided on reserved checkouts. Some of our files will not
be able to be merged as they are graphic files etc. Any ideas ?

As Greg said: You *only* need to know which repository to use when
doing the initial checkout of a module -- after that it's all
automatic. Once you check out a module from that point on it remembers
where it came from (file CVS/root in that folder). CVS will use that by
default.

Instead of:

it is much better is to specify:

The daemon is running as root when it starts. Then it drops priviledge
to the user's level. Unfortunately, it still trys to look in
Hmm. Worse case, I can just run dos2unix (or whatever it is) on the
offending files. Not that big of a deal (just so long as I can recurse
through the directory tree)

What you want is some way of controlling who's working on the
file at any given time, and the CVS way to do that is to set
cvs watch on all files that you want to control, and ask
the developers to use cvs edit to unlock them. This isn't
strict

Most systems don't allow numeric port numbers in inetd.conf -- you
probably need to add a cvspserver entry to your /etc/services file and
use cvspserver instead of 2401 in inetd.conf.
