2.2. Install CVS

This is the easy part. For Red Hat systems, download the cvs rpms and install them. The following RPM command will download and install the Red Hat 7.1 version of cvs from rpmfind.net.


Note: You need to be root to complete the following tasks

su - root
rpm -Uvh ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/cvs-1.11-3.i386.rpm

Create the user and group that will administrate the interchange repository. For this document, it will be the interch user, (which was setup during the installation of Interchange). But if you understand the mechanics of Unix users/groups, then you can use whatever username and group scheme you prefer. For example, some create a cvs user and cvs group, then add the interchange user and catalog owner to it's group and/or vise-versa. The integration of interchange and CVS in the latter portion of this document will require that the CVS user has some write capability to the catalog directory.
