[Samba] Problem with CVS working over Samba

[Chris Cejka]

Hello everyone,

 

Currently I'm using Samba as a bridge between my Unix files and my windows
XP client and it works just fine.  But I'm having a problem with using CVS
on my Windows XP client.  I don't want to have two separate copies of my
source files - one copy on my unix box and another copy on my Windows XP
client and use CVS to manage two copies of the same sources in different
locations.  I'm using Samba to solve this issue.  In other words, I want the
source files to reside in one location period!  That location being on my
unix box.  The problem I'm having is with CVS on the Windows XP client.
When I do a CVS update on my Windows XP client that is mapped to my unix
files via Samba I get the following error:

 

cvs update: in directory .:

cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository
/home/dev/cvs

 

Please note that I have the CVSROOT environment variable set on my Windows
XP client to the following:

 

:pserver:ccejka at rafiki.mcilink.com:/home/dev/cvs

 

 

 

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

Thankyou,

 

 

Chris
