From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 Description of problem: Red Hat should make it easy for users to set up client/server CVS. Deficiencies as I see them currently: 1) No default CVSROOT. No guidance on where it should go, either. 2) No /etc/profile.d scripts to set default CVS variables 3) No /etc/xinet.d config file for client/server CVS 4) No cvs password admin utilities 5) No default cvs user I recognize there are security concerns with client/server CVS but there are with services such as FTP as well...the FTP servers come with xinetd config files so they can be enabled/disabled by a knowledgable user. The command needed to start a CVS server from xinetd takes some digging. I recognize this a relatively significant feature request and appreciate your taking the time to review it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: N/A Additional info:
not going to change unfortunately as there are no real standards to cvs usage-- almost everyone sets up the service and default locations differently. (see bug 59045) the only thing that is under consideration is the addition of xinetd files for the cvs server. that is addressed in a different bug (bug 136929)
