RE: sharing cvs root?

[Mirco Bova]

Hello Kevin,

I'm starting working with cvs both as a user and as and admin. I am facing
the very same requests. I propose you not to share the cvsroot. Instead you
can install viewcvs (http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net) or jcvslet
(http://www.jcvs.org). The second is very easy to set up, I did it in a few
minutes two days ago. Jcvslet is a servlet so you'll need a servlet
container like tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html) to run
it.

Cheers,

Mirco

My boss seems to think it would be a good idea to share our CVS root so we
can easily browse it.  I don't think this is a good idea... can anyone give
me the pro's or con's of doing this?

We have our cvs repository located on a linux box, and are using winCVS to
do our checkouts/updates/commits, etc.  He wants to be able to browse the
cvsroot so he can see the modules....

Is this a good idea?
