CVS Questions

[Michael Vanecek]

I have my cvsroot as /home/cvs on my local server. /home is a seperate 
harddrive that will remain even after I wipe and reload the / harddrive 
which I do periodically when doing a radical system upgrade - still 
haven't figured out how to preserve the user settings though. I just 
rename the user directories, recreate the users and then mv the renamed 
directories over the new user directories. If you know an easier way, 
let me know. Anyway. I do all my work on my local server and then upload 
them to my webhost server in California. Similar configurations. I could 
probably use a script to automatically ftp the updated files to the 
webserver. I'm just tickled with CVS. Kicking myself for taking so long 
to mess with it.
