You could set up an anoncvs server that runs from the same repository. Unix people could use this for reading from the repository with cvs(1), and presumably this also works for the MS-Windows port of cvs and WinCVS. Note that I've had one person report the inability to access with WinCVS an anoncvs server I run, but this may have been user error. If you aren't familiar with CVS, you may want to play a bit around with accessing an anoncvs server yourself before you think about setting one up, to get a feeling of what this is all about. There is a step-by-step guide how to set up an anoncvs server on OpenBSD at <URL:http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.shar>. This should be applicable to FreeBSD as well. It *may* be necessary, to slightly patch FreeBSD's cvs. I have only run this on OpenBSD so far. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
