[Savannah-cvs] [ImportingCVSRepository] (edit) Modern instructions

[Beuc]

++added:
Nowadays, it's essentially::

 vserver vcs-noshell enter
 cd
 infra/cvs/cvs_import.sh tarball_url project_name
 # OR for a web repository ('web' is litteral here):
 infra/cvs/cvs_import.sh tarball_url project_name web

cvs_import.sh is specific to Savannah, is not perfectly foolproof, and is not 
necessarily updated when directories are renamed as the system evolves. Reading 
it before using it sounds like a good plan.

History

For reference, here's how we manually imported CVS tarballs before 
cvs_import.sh (and before vserver).

-1) on sv.gnu.org, /etc/group does not contain any projects.  Where are gid's 
recorded?
-
-2) as user svadmin, i presumably cannot chown to root.  does it all have to be 
done as root?
-
-3) /subsystems/cvs/root/cvs_import.sh does not exist (on sv.gnu.org).
-
-help?
