Considering switching from CVS to CVSNT on RedHat Enterprise

[Rez P]

Hi everyone

I'm going to ask this question in the CVSNT group anyway but would any of you know if it's possible to switch from CVS 1.10.x to CVSNT w/o compromising the repository structure or format? Does anything special need to be done to the repository or are both flavors of CVS able to read the repository universally w/o any additional formatting or tweaking?


The reason we're switching is because CVS via Pserver method doesn't allow users to change their password w/o logging into the server and the CVS user group running as root in the background has access to all sort of things. We're considering CVSNT because of its active directory capabilities. Any feedback is appreciated.


Thanks

Rez

Arthur can answer this more authoritatively, but I believe the CVSNT
repository format is completely upward compatible with the CVS
repository format (i.e., you can always go from CVS to CVSNT with no
problems but not usually the other way).

If you're primarily working in a Windows environment, that probably
makes sesnse.

Yes that is the best place to ask CVSNT specific questions.
