Hi All,
I am having some confusion regarding the way CVS works with permissions
under unix when importing a new project. Currently, when I import a
project, I get this sort of permissions on the project directory:
drwxr-x--- 2 jim cvs 512 Jan 27 12:31 test_proj
Notice that the group (cvs) is not granted write access. Is this the way
it's supposed to work? Do I have to use chmod to grant write access to
the group every time I do an import? Or is my CVS not configured
correctly?
If I don't grant write access to the group on that directory, every
check in fails with a "could not open lock file
`/usr/local/cvs/test_proj/,test.txt,': Permission denied". I tried
setting the LockDir in the config file to a world-writable directory,
but this doesn't seem to solve the problem when trying to check-in.
Thank you!
Regards,
DB
Hi,
I highly recommend the following book. It is available for viewing
online or as a downloadble PDF
