As a post-intallation of CVS 1.11.1p1 upgrade from 1.10 or 1.11,
I wonder if it's always safe to re-initialize the CVSROOT as follows:Re-initialize CVSROOT to make sure all the admin files are compatible with
the latest version of CVSlogin as admin or user
cd $HOME/workspace
cvs co CVSROOT
mv CVSROOT CVSROOT.old
cvs init
cvs co CVSROOTIf you have customized admin files in CVSROOT, you need do the following:
cd CVSROOT
cp ../CVSROOT.old/<admin file> .
cvs commit
It never hurts to back up just in case, but a fresh init should
simply create any admin files that aren't present.
Also I wonder if I should delete $CVSROOT/CVSROOT before issuing "cvs init"
command.
Again, this isn't necessary. As far as I know, the worst that
is going to happen without this is you might be missing a new default in
CVSROOT/config or some comments in one of the files.
