Hi all, By default the cvs package places a repository in /var/lib/cvs. Great, I'm using it. Now I want to provide a completely different CVS repository to a workgroup here. Where should I put it?
I can't believe I'm worried about this, but strangely enough, I am ;-) I just want to know what the "best practice" is. I read the policy and FHS manuals but came away unsure. It seems that the repositories should not be in their own subdirectories of /var/lib. FHS suggests that subdirectories in /var/lib shold be per package, with the exception of /var/lib/misc. So can I put them in /var/lib/misc then? Should I create subdirectories in /var/lib/cvs for each repository instead? I would have to move the single repository currently there into its own subdirectory and inflict some temporary pain on my (rather small list of) users? Can I put the new repositories in /var/local? What the heck is /var/local for anyway? I obviously cannot place the repositories in /etc (root partition, very small, ext2 fs - no journals), /usr (policy dictates /usr should, in theory, be mountable ro), /tmp or /usr/local (well, I could, but /usr/local is really a /usr outside package control). Yes, I know I'm being more difficult than I should! Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
