... easy on me, CVS Newbie!! :-)
Hi,
This is probably a silly permission error problem, but can't figure it out:
I've installed CVS following the HOWTO tutorial under linux (RH6.1).
It installed fine (v 1.10.6). However, when I try and import a source
tree with the "cvs import" command, I get a permission error problem:
cvs status: Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file
cvs [status aborted]: /home/cvsroot/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
According to HOWTO, import is executed as a normal user, whereas $CVROOT
(under which the repository is installed) and files under have got
root permissions only (o/g/u), which is the way it was installed.
I can see why is giving me the permission error, but I did everything
"by the book", or so I believe. I could manually change permissions to
$CVSROOT and it might work, but I'd rather not. I am sure there is a
reasonable explanation and solution.
Hints?
Thanks for your help,
Jaime
