CVS FAQ and hints
1. How to setup more than one repository on same CVS server
For each repository a --allow-root option is required
in order to make the repository accessible. Otherwise cvs would report an error,
saying that the given repository does not exist.
If the system uses xinetd there should be a /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file like:
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot --allow-root=/usr/repository2 pserver
}
Otherwise if the old inetd it's used the /etc/inetd.conf file should contain something like:
# CVS pserver (remote acces to your CVS repositories)
# Please read the section on security and passwords in the CVS manual, before you enable this.
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/cvs -f --allow-root=/server/cvsroot --allow-root=/server/repository2 pserver
If you need multiple CVS repositories, simply add a --allow-root option for each one.
