How can I see a list of the last n commits to a CVS repository?
Thanks!
I have a mixed Linux/Windows software development environment where the Linux clients are migrating to a system where they are able to authenticate against Active Directory. (That part I figured out)
Our lab is currently using CVS to conduct version control on our source code. In the migration, we will need users to be able to authenticate to our CVS server. I have it planned such that when the migration occurs, we will set up the CVS server to also authenticate users against AD.
Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of experience with CVS. Is this task even possible? From what I understand, it can be set up to authenticate users based on the local users on the system. However, since the actual users won't have their credentials stored locally on the server (as it's pulling them from AD), is it possible to point CVS to rely upon pam for authentication?
I have read about accessing CVS over SSH with user credentials. Would that be a requirement for this to occur? If so, how does one set this up?
I greatly appreciate the assistance!
I was curious if there was a way to add a hook or something into CVS so that when you commit a text file or into CVS, it will add a certain string at the end of the file?
For example, say something like: "Committed by Joe Schmoe on 03/11/2010"
What does -PAd mean when I use in conjunction with cvs update?
I would be interested in any experiences using CVS on a clustered file system with mulitple servers accessing it. I guess this is similar to what providers like SourceForge do.
Currently we use a RHEL based CVS server with an ext3 repository filesystem on a SAN.
The idea is to use several machines to handle CVS connections from clients all working on the same file system on a fast SAN. This redundancy could server for both load balancing and failover purposes (using e. g. a round-robin DNS that could be reconfigured if one of the servers were to fail).
SVN is not an alternative for various reasons, please do not start a CVS/SVN discussion.
