Quick guide: installing CVS Server on Ubuntu 11.04

• 1. Install required packages

  sudo apt-get install cvsd




• 2. Adjust daemon parameters

  
  Open the configuration file:

  sudo vi /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf

  Most likely, you gonna need to change these lines:
  

  # This is to avoid the "address already in use" error when starting cvsd:

  Listen 0.0.0.0 2401

  # You may want to change the root folder where your repositories will be created:

  RootJail /var/lib/cvsd

  # Go to the end of the file, and enter lines like these, one for each repository you need:

  Repos /project1

  ...

  Save the file and exit the editor.




• 3. Create and initialize repositories

  sudo mkdir /var/lib/cvsd/project1

  sudo cvs -d /var/lib/cvsd/project1 init




• 4. Change root folder owner to cvsd

  sudo chown cvsd:cvsd /var/lib/cvsd -R




• 5. Create repository users

  sudo cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/project1/ john

  sudo cvsd-passwd /var/lib/cvsd/project1/ mary




• 6. Fire up (or restart) the daemon

  sudo /etc/init.d/cvsd restart

  Check for errors at /var/log/syslog (you can change this setting at cvsd.conf). If something is wrong, check the message and correct it - probably, something related to network or file permission...




• 7. Create a reference to the repository and use it!

  
  Open a terminal, and enter the following commands:

  export CVSROOT=:pserver:fabio@localhost:2401/project1

  cvs login

  ...

  cvs logout

  I like to use these commands to test the environment, but you can go ahead and configure your preferred CVS GUI client.


Cheers!
