Setting up a CVS server
Here I'll describe how to setup a CVS server that is accessed by CVS clients
via the "pserver protocol". The end result is a service that CVS
clients connect to in order to use the CVS repositories on your system.
- Edit
/etc/inetd.conf to add the "cvs" service:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvs /usr/libexec/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/home/cvs pserver
- Edit
/etc/services to add the cvspserver protocol:
cvspserver 2401/tcp
- Edit
/etc/hosts.allow to allow connections from certain
hosts to the "cvs" service:
cvs: 192.168.0. botte-coders.example.org .aars.it
- Add the "cvs" user mentioned in
/etc/inetd.conf to
/etc/master.passwd:
cvs:*:80:80::0:0:CVS:/home/cvs:/usr/local/bin/bash
Run pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd to regenerate /etc/passwd.
Create the group "cvs":
/etc/group:
cvs:*:80:
Create the home directory for user "cvs":
mkdir /home/cvs
chmod 700 /home/cvs
- Init the CVSROOT directory in /home/cvs:
su -l cvs
cvs -d /home/cvs init
- Create and/or edit the file
/home/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd. This
file will list the users able to connect to the "cvs" service:
su -l cvs
cd /home/cvs/CVSROOT
touch passwd
chmod 600 passwd
vi passwd
The file will look something like this:
harry:ZrLzRsjAPL7iQ:cvs
klaas:Rf0DZbqhHM.Z.:cvs
sjaak:kLruwLTHOsOXT2:cvs
cvsusers:ORA7SfF0sRkD.:cvs
"harry", "klaas" and "sjaak" are the cvs users. "cvsusers"
is the common user account for the developers working on a certain website project. It is mainly
meant for doing cvs checkouts in the production environment.
- Finally, create the common user account "cvsusers" to keep your
developers happy. You know how to do that, don't you? (-:
- Now all developers should set their CVSROOT environment and execute a
cvs login:
export CVSROOT=":pserver:<username>@yourserver.com:/home/cvs"
cvs login
cd ~public_html/
cvs -q checkout PROJECTNAME
