CVS Temp directory

[James Wilson_4]

Hi

I am running CVS off a unix server with about 30 concurrent users. The /tmp partition on this box is really small and I need to know how to change the cvs settings on the server for the TEMPDIR via unix so that everyone in the cvs group can use another temp directory.

Cheers

As i just have read in http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC179 ,you can have a look at the CVSROOT/config file.

At http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC163 it says "If using remote access methods (pserver, ext, etc.), CVS will execute this program on the server from a temporary directory. The path is searched for this program."

I don't see a way myself to avoid this, instead of changing your path, or misleading /tmp.

You can create a new filesystem maybe, called 'cvstemp' and link (ln -s) the a dir to this fs.

Success,
