cvs directory structure

below cvsroot we use the following structure:

server setup

disable direct cvsuser logins

#####
##### as root@sandstein
#####
cat <<EOF >/etc/profile.d/cvsuser.sh
if [ `dirname $PWD` = '/home/CVSUSER' ];
then
        exit
fi
EOF

cat <<EOF >/etc/profile.d/cvsuser.csh 
if ( `dirname $PWD` == /home/CVSUSER ) logout
EOF

cvs setup

#####
##### as root@sandstein
#####

groupadd cvsuser

##### modify root user
usermod -G cvsuser root

##### setup directory


export CVSROOT=/var/cvsroot
mkdir $CVSROOT
chmod 2775 $CVSROOT
chown root:cvsuser $CVSROOT

cvs init


#### setup basic directory structure

mkdir kewl
cd kewl

cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/bip  bip start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/bip  bip start

cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/kaisersrot  kaisersrot start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/kaisersrot  kaisersrot start

cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/game game start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/game  game start

cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/misc  misc start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/misc  misc start

cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/users  users start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/users  users start

cd ..
rmdir kewl

##### lock higher directory structure

chmod g-ws /var/cvsroot /var/cvsroot/documentation /var/cvsroot/source/

add project group

#####
##### as root@sandstein
#####

##### add another project group

export CVSROOT=/var/cvsroot

mkdir kewl
cd kewl
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" documentation/qoom  qoom start
cvs import -m "Created directory structure" source/qoom  qoom start
cd ..
rmdir kewl
chmod g+s $CVSROOT/documentation/qoom
chrp cvsuser $CVSROOT/documentation/qoom
chmod g+s $CVSROOT/source/qoom
chrp cvsuser $CVSROOT/source/qoom

modify user

#####
##### as root@sandstein
#####
usermod -G cvsuser droste

add caad user

#####
##### as root@sandstein
#####
NEWCVSUSER=nethzaccount

useradd -G cvsuser -d /home/CVSUSER/$NEWCVSUSER $NEWCVSUSER
passwd $NEWCVSUSER

add non-caad user

#####

##### as root@sandstein
#####
NEWCVSUSER=ifpossiblenethzaccount
PROJECTDESCR="project_name, extern, caad_member_in_charge"

useradd -G cvsuser -d /home/CVSUSER/$NEWCVSUSER -c "$PROJECTDESCR" $NEWCVSUSER
passwd $NEWCVSUSER
