  • sftp to place where I put the cvsweb tar file, and download it.
  • su -
  • cd /
  • tar xzf /tmp/cvsweb.tar.gz
  • chown -R joeuser.web /cvsroot
  • chgrp -R web /cvsroot
  • So the repository is there, but is it working? I go to the production box, as root:
  • cd /web/myservicename/
  • chgrp -R web /web
  • su - joeuser
  • env |grep CVS shows CVSROOT=:ext:devcomputer:/cvsweb
  • devcomputer is aliased to my IP address in /etc/hosts
  • cd /web/myservicename/
  • cvs update readme.txt
  • It asks for my password, but then it hangs... Hmmm, a permissions problem? Here's what I get when I type in cvs -t update readme.txt 
    -> main loop with CVSROOT:=ext:dev:/cvsweb
-> Starting server: ssh devcomputer cvs server
joeuser@devcomputer's password:
S-> Reader_Lock(/cvsweb/intranet)
S-> Lock_Cleanup()
S-> Lock_Cleanup()
  • I'm not really a CVS guru. Let's see if I can look this up on Google... Okay, I'm not finding anything. Has anybody else encountered this problem?
