RE: <new member> Problem with huge files/folders in CVS

[ahalya.kumari]

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply.  As I am not much aware of the Linux system setup,
could you please help with more details?  I am not able to use
./configure.  I am also not able find any similar config file in
xinetd.d folder too.  Where can I make the tmp-dir change?

Rgds,
Ahalya

Yes.

./configure --help
...
  --with-tmpdir           The temporary directory CVS should use as a
default
                          (default autoselects)
...

So, if you use

  ./configure --with-tmpdir=/path/to/some/other/tmp/directory

you should get what you want (provided the path makes sense on your
box).
