[ILUG] re:[ILUG]cvs

[nils Olofsson]

ok,
Back to my orignal question.
Are the steps that i am following correct of am i doing something wrong.
for a refresh here is the steps i am taking.
bash$ su - root
bash# export CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
bash# groupadd --help
bash# groupadd cvs
bash# useradd --help
bash# useradd -g cvs -d $CVSROOT cvs
bash# mkdir $CVSROOT

bash# ls -ld $CVSROOT   ... (you should see the listing)
bash# chgrp -R cvs $CVSROOT
bash# chmod o-rwx $CVSROOT
bash# chmod ug+rwx $CVSROOT

#To initialize the CVS repository and to put in source code files do:
bash# cvs init

# Add the unix users to the cvs group. Create supplementary groups for 
users.
# Note that you MUST not put any blank spaces after comma seperating the
# group names in -G option.
# In example below user tom belongs to groups cvs, users and staff and user
# johnson belongs to group cvs only.
bash# usermod --help
bash# usermod -G cvs some_unix_username
bash# usermod -G cvs,users,staff tom
bash# usermod -G cvs,users,staroffice billclinton
bash# usermod -G cvs johnson
bash# exit    .... (logout of root superuser mode)

# Login as a user and import files into cvs....
bash$ su - billclinton
bash$ export EDITOR=/bin/vi
bash$ export CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot

# WARNING! WARNING: If you set CVSREAD to yes, checkout and update will 
try hard to # make the files in your working directory read-only.  When 
this is not set,
# the default behavior is to permit modification of your working files.
bash$ export CVSREAD=yes

# Change directory is a must
bash$ cd $HOME/somedir/anotherdir/directory/my_source_code_dir

# Must give vendor tag and revision tag
cvs import somedir/anotherdir/directory/my_source_code_dir Vendor1_0 
Rev1_0 
# Also note that it is very important to give the directory tree starting
# from the $HOME, that is, in above example starting from somedir.
# For example I did:
bash$ cd $HOME/howto/foobar
bash$ cvs import howto/foobar Vendor1_0 Rev1_0

# Another example is:
bash$ cd $HOME/javafilesdir
bash$ cvs import javafilesdir Vendor1_0 Rev1_0

# A sample testing and verification:
bash$ cd $HOME/howto/foobar
bash$ cvs checkout myfoo.java

Can anyone please tell me where i am going wrong.

Nils
