Hello I have just installed CVS server and have started importing files onto the server. How would I change the owner directly while file transfer or make the user the default owner of all the files being imported.

Is that possible?

  • Do you mean the owner of the files once they are checked out, or the owner of the ,v files stored in the repository? – Andy Mortimer Aug 10 '10 at 19:36
  • I meant the owner of v files, after the import is showing as root, though the owner has to be cvsd. This is giving me a problem during the initial checkout, since the client would not have permissions unless the owner owns the file. – sai Aug 10 '10 at 19:40

The book Open Source Development with CVS (available online) describes how to set file permissions for a CVS repository. See the section entitled "Starting A Repository".
