Here’s a brief example of managing multiple CVS groups, so you can have different groups doing development out of the same CVS repository.
In this example…
the cvs_coders group is used to hold ALL cvs users
wx_coders is a subgroup – a few members are allowed access to the projects under this group
m is the user that controls the rest of the cvs repository
———————
CVS GROUP PERMISSIONS
———————
groupadd cvs_coders
groupadd wx_coders
pico /etc/group
cvs_coders:x:513:m,corey
wx_coders:x:514:m,corey
cd /home/m/development
chown -R m:m CVSROOT
chgrp cvs_coders CVSROOT
cd CVSROOT
chgrp -R cvs_coders CVSROOT
chgrp -R wx_coders wxHelloWorld
chgrp -R wx_coders plucker
–> New cvs users need…
a) a valid linux user (for ssh’ing into repository)
b) this user must be added to the cvs_coders group
-> edit /etc/group and add the user at the end of the cvs_coders line…
c) also add the user to the appropriate existing subgroups
m  – for my personal stuff that isn’t shared
wx_coders – for Corey and my wxWindows project(s)
–> To add a new subgroup…
a) “groupadd blah_coders”
b) add all users to it in /etc/group
c) create module(s) as “m”, then change group to target subgroup
cd CVSROOT
chgrp -R [newsubgroup] [newmodule]
