Re: CVSUP causing locks on the database.

Gaganinder,

Alternatively you can use the open source CVSNT which runs on Unix, Windows,
Linux, Mac etc and has a separate "lock server" - far mroe reliable.

Hi,

Can someone please through some light on the following message on CVS Client
clients application.

"cvs commit: [05:41:10] waiting for xyz's lock in /CVS/Dev/1.0/app"

XYZ is the system user to which all the CVS users are mapped using pserver
to access the /Dev/1.0 repository. While CVSUP is running is it possible
that it creates locks on the database which restricts users from getting to
the files and folders.  CVSUP is running using root.

Regards,
Gaganinder Singh.
