RE: How to Setup CVSROOT/modules Question

[Christopher.Fouts]

In my case, I, as cvs admin, don't let users touch the ../CVSROOT directory.

 

To set up the CVSROOT/modules for your user, do...

 

   > cvs co CVSROOT/modules

   > cd CVSROOT

 

Add the following line in the CVSROOT/modules file

 

   modulename -a dir1 dir2 file1 file2 dir3/file3

 

   > cvs commit

 

modulename, dir1, file1, etc. are of course the module name

you want, and the files and dirs you want to include. Your

user can then

 

    > cvs co modulename

 

and get what you specified in the modules file

Subject: How to Setup CVSROOT/modules Question

Hi All,

 

I was able to set up a CVS repository for my users and I'm very new in CVS.  One user mentioned that he wants CVSROOT/modules capability to be working so that he can fetch a list of modules in the CVS repository.  I have read some where this should be done by the user.  Is this capability should be setup by an admin?  If so, how do I do that?  He access the CVS repository via TortoiseCVS client program.

 

I'm really lost.  Any inputs is appreciated.

 

Thanks
Mary
