I do some php programming and I'm working on a project and for the first time I want to use CVS. CVS is installed on my box, but I don't know how to run it. Does CVS run as a service like apache or mysql? If so, how do I start it? Also, where do people typically install a project cvsroot? The programming project has it's own user account on the box where the latest version of the code runs as a webpage. So for example: /home/st4nk/st4nk-www/ <- (apache virtual directory to serve up latest php code) so could I just create a directory: /home/st4nk/cvs And make that the master respository for the project? When I work on the project files I may or may not log into the box as user st4nk...that shouldn't matter, correct? Steve www.digitalbluesky.net
