I am trying to get my CVS repository setup. Apparently,
it appears that the repository must be in the root directory,
otherwise I get selinux permission denials.
What I tried to do initially was to locate the repository
on a NTFS filesystem for which the context is fusefs
which could not be changed, no matter what I tried.
I got selinux permission errors.
using a non Unix file system on a Unix system for your CVS repo will likely
cause much hate and discontent while trying to manage permissions.
Giving that up, I moved the repository to a ext3 filesystem
located on a separate drive/partition, mounted on /f-App1,
where the repository is located @ /f-App1/Develop/cvs, and did:
cd /f-App1/Develop/
chown -R cvs:cvs cvs
chcon -R -t cvs_data_t cvs
find cvs -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find cvs -type t -exec chmod 754 {} \;
ln -s /f-App1/Develop/cvs /cvs
Are you looking to use :pserver: here? Have you considered ssh?
and I got selinux complaining that the files are not /cvs rooted.
Can you give the ACTUAL error(s) from selinux & CVS?
So I did:
cp -a /f-App1/Develop/cvs /cvs1
rm -f /cvs
ln -s /cvs1 /cvs
And it worked.
How can I place my repository in a non-rooted, non-standard
repository location and avoid the selinux complaints?
I am interested, because I maintain CVS repos on older systems that will
probably migrate when RHEL 6 comes out, but Dan Walsh's blog site is not
accessible.
