A bit confused
Authored by: mouser on Feb 26, '02 10:15:08PM
I got the installation to work. So, info was mostly fine doing this on Mac OS X 10.1.3, except for the
sudo open -e /etc/inetd.conf

thing, where I simply resorted to use vi (gasp!).

I've also made myself a couple of shell scripts to wrap the cvs login and logout; aka

#/usr/bin/sh
setenv CVSROOT "/Volumes/Engineering/myRep"
cvs -d :pserver:mouser@127.0.0.1:%CVSROOT login

and a similar one for logout. Now, I'm just wondering. I can't work the files directly from there can I?

When using mac CVS Pro, for example, off a remote repository, you end up having a local copy of the sources. Must I, using this local setup, have another copy of the sources for my work tree?

I just couldn't cvs add anything in the myRep directory, with CVS complaining there were no versions there and I needed to do a checkout first.

Anyone can point me in the right direction here?
