Re: Restrict command and 'limited' read only

[Shubhabrata Sengupta]

I guess you can write a commitinfo script to do the first part. Any script
which is plugged into the commitinfo file has access to the CVS/Entries
file - and when you remove a file the version is prepended with a -  In
pserver mode the CVS server process runs with the uid of the person who is
checking in (I am assuming that each person has a separate uid on the CVS
server) - so your script can check which user owns the file that is being
checked in, see if the file is being removed by munging the CVS/Entries line
for that file and then check with a database of uids (whom you don't want to
remove files) to see if the operation is permitted or not.

The directory where the file is being checked in is also passed to a
commitinfo script as the first argument (the second argument is the file to
be committed) - you can use this information to have groups of users with
commit permissions to specific directories.

Hope this helps

Thanks
