automatic checkout

[Roderick Bloem]

Hi,

I want to use cvs for a directory that contains scripts.  I don't want 
everyone to change the scripts in the directory: I won't have 
accountability.  Thus, it is under cvs.  People should check out, 
change, and submit.  I don't want them to write to the directory itself, 
because they will forget to check in.

I would like changes to propagate to the script directory immediately. 
Everytime someone commits, an update would be executed in the script 
directory.  Is that possible?

I have tried a loginfo script, but there is a problem with the locks: 
the cvs update runs when the commit has not released the lock yet.

I have looked on the web and found some references, but nothing very 
satisfactory.  I have seen ACU, but it seems more concerned with 
managing multiple machines (which is not a problem), than with the 
lock.  I have also thought about putting a pause into the script that 
does the update, but that does not seem very safe, not do I know how to 
do it.  (My shell programming is bad, and I don't know how to spawn a 
process from loginfo.)

Is there a good solution for this?  Should I consider a different setup?

Thanks,

Roderick Bloem
