I did this: export CVSROOT=/cvs cvs init and received this error: cvs [init aborted]: cannot open dbm file .#1053 for creation: Permission denied Deleting all, setting umask 770, and trying again gives cvs [init aborted]: cannot open dbm file .#1055 for creation: Permission denied Setting CVSUMASK=770 just changed the filename to 1063. What permission do I need to solve or set first?? -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner@sources.redhat.com [ mailto:cygwin-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of Charles Wilson Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2000 5:56 AM To: Jeff Jensen Cc: cygwin@sources.redhat.com Subject: Re: CVS install Jeff, CVS is included in the default cygwin install. Most of your questions below deal with building CVS from its own source files; there is no need to do that unless you really want to. (If you do want to build from source, then download cvs-1.10.8-X-src.tar.gz from a cygwin mirror, unpack, and follow the instructions in /CYGWIN-PATCHES/cvs-1.10.8.README) To get started with CVS (after you've compiled it, or assuming you want to use the precompiled version installed with cygwin by default), do this: export CVSROOT= cvs init Then, follow the instructions in various online sources to see how you actually USE cvs. Try: http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_toc.html http://www.loria.fr/~molli/fom-serve/cache/1.html --Chuck Jeff Jensen wrote: > > I am trying to learn and install CVS for the first time, and am feeling a > bit overwhelmed.
