Greg, as someone else pointed out. It's a rare project that does not have a few binary files peppered in the source for various reasons. Although, in your mind it would make the most sense to maintain those in a seperate facility, in my opinion, it's stupid and inefficient. Just because you

You may not have gotten an answer because your questions aren't very clear. What do you mean, without deleting previous version in the directories? What directory do you mean? Have you exported a module to a certain directory in the past and are trying to export a newer copy of the module on top

Of course, you can do what you wish.. simply modify the source code of cvs. The GNU license specifically allows that. As a matter of fact, I believe there is a answer in a FAQ or in some document in the distribution that explains exactly how to turn on behavior that allows root to commit files.

Re: Does cvs update return anything?

Actually.. you should be using the system() call to get the error code returned. See the perlfunc manpage for details. 'perldoc -f system'. e.g. chdir(/my/cvs/directory/); if (system('/usr/local/bin/cvs', 'update') == 0) { print it worked!\n; } Daniel - Original Message - From:

It doesn't work as a daemon. You either have to use it as a pserver with inetd (or whatever flavor of inetd) or you have to use rsh/ssh/etc to connect and execute the cvs command remotely. I think it's quite odd that it works like this, but I think the reasons are that cvs was never meant to

The best way to do it IMHO is to create a seperate cvs group and change the permissions of the CVSROOT directory and its's files so that they are only rwx root.cvs. Then whenever someone needs to have access, just add them to the cvs group. Or add whoever is the cvs maintainer to that group

Personally, ViewCVS http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/ is a better product IMO, but very close to the original CVSweb. Of course both of them require that you have an available server you can run apache on. (Or the equiv.) At any rate, both do what you are looking for quite well. And my 2 cents:
