CVS Server with freebsd
Hi, I'm trying to setup a cvs server for our internal development... I may be blind, but I didn't find any ports for this in the ports tree... Do I need to compile it from the source or is there an easier way (port) I saw a pserver wrapper for cvs ( port = cvsd) in the port but not the actual cvs server Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I advise you to go to cvshome.org to read the documentation on how to set up a source code repository with CVS. I also recommend not to use pserver if you can avoid it. You can authenticate all CVS users via local accounts and SSH. With two environmant variables CVS_ROOT=... CVS_RSH=... the users then make their local CVS clients use SSH to authenticate with the CVS server and transmit their commits enrypted. In this way you don't need a CVS daemon running on the server.

I'll check into this (ssh) Thanks a lot for your help There's also a good book, Essential CVS by Jenn Vesperman that can be a lot of help setting up and, especially, maintaining a CVS repository. Btw, if you don't have company or departemental constraints forcing you to use CVS, go for Subversion instead. AFAIK the KDE source is in Subversion: http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html And the KDE source is quite big. It has all the functionality of CVS and is far less of a hassle to use. E.g. you can't move files or directories in CVS, you have to copy, cvs add, delete, cvs remove files and then the directories, making this simple operation a real nuisance. In Subversion you can move files and directories. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
