Today I built a CVS server on Windows 2000 server.

I have built CVS servers on Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Linux before, so this task’s easy for me.

Here is my note just for Windows:

1. Check the format of disk where your CVS repository is to be placed in. It should be NTFS. Use convert C:/FS:NTFS to convert FAT32 to NTFS.

2. Install CVSNT.

3. Start configuration

execute “net user cvsuser password /Add ” to add a windows account which cvs users are mapped to. More than one account can be created to get different privileges.

Use “Security” Tab of “Folder Options” to grant privileges to those new account.

Command:

set CVSROOT = D:\cvsbase

cvs passwd -a -r cvsuser rex.leed (map rex.leed to windows account cvsuser)

cvs co CVSROOT

notepad cvswarppers

add some text to cvswarppers (you can find it the attached zip file)

cvs commit

You can use the CVS now. I won’t tell you how to use CVS.

In U.S., it is interesting that you could find a pharmacy named CVS also.
