whenever you work on something on the shell server (be it the web pages, be it the PDB), don't forget that others on the team must be able to modify what you did, too. So in particular, everything should be in group "fink", and writable to group "fink" (with a very few exceptions).
To that end, we have "update.sh" scripts in our main CVS checkout dirs: /home/users/f/fi/fingolfin/fink/pdb/update.sh /home/users/f/fi/fingolfin/fink/htdocs/update.sh
These scripts will automatically perform a CVS update, and then afterwards correct the file access permissions. If you do a manual CVS update, then you will remove the group write permissions from all files CVS touches; and thus make it hard to impossible for anybody but you to later update those files. Which is very bad.
In the case of htdocs, we also have a stand alone fix_perm.sh script which doesn't CVS update but rather just updates the permissions; you can use that if you don't want to do a full CVS update.
Cheers,
Max
