Re: Configure acl's for CVS

[Jacek_Wolski]

Hello,
I had the problem you discribe by myself.
According to my findings there are at least three possibilities:
a) a script in CVS distribution (/usr/local/cvs-1.11.6/contrib):
         cvs_acls        A perl script that implements Access Control Lists
                        by using the "commitinfo" hook provided with the
                        "cvs commit" command.
                        Contributed by David G. Grubbs <address@hidden>.
b) a SourceForge net project (don't know name) which implements CVS acl's
by adding two extra cvs commands;
unfortunately the commands are not supported by CVS clients;
c) a script called in commitinfo; I have chosen this solution as it gives
full control and is most flexible.

Regards,

Jacek

Hi All

This has reference to  configure acl's for CVS, where we need to define
"UseCVSGroups=Yes/No". If yes it would check for the groups in file
CVSROOT/group.
Is it possible to create / define  groups in the CVSROOT or say like a file
"group" - in which we can create groups for CVS users...  like a pool of
cvsusers mapped to a system user .. or may something else..

Also I would like to know if this has been tried by anyone . or can have
some comments on it.
