cvsd + others

Im wanting to host a CVS server to do development, but i cant find the daemon anywhere in the repository (i looked in all repositories /begin{edit} AND TURs /end{edit} this time! heh oops!).

The CVS client is there but no CVS Daemon.

The SubVersion package is there.. im not sure if it has the daemon, I havent looked yet, but i doubt it does (which is good! client and server shouldnt be mixed where possible).

There is CVSup, but i dont believe that is compatible with CVS? I believe its an extension of BSD's SUP?

I feel like im totally wrong, because you guys run CVS servers of your own with Arch?!! So if i can either be pointed in the right direction, or get the CVS daemon added to the repositories it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

cvs pserver is setup using xinet.d (if I remember correctly)...It actually uses cvspserver, not cvsd. cvsd is a wrapper program that someone wrote...
I did a google search, and the first useful looking link that came up was
http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cv … _linux.htm

Likely if you do your own search on google for "cvs pserver setup" or something similar, you will also get some results..

another good link on tldp:

Found a great tutorial on this from Beyong Linux From Scratch.

You don't need to run pserver. Just enable the SSH login and access the repositories from there. I feel this is more secure.
