CVS much?

[quickshiftin]

I dont know if this is the correct forum for this post, but i guess it fits under server troubles. Anyway I finally got a solid server built and now im going crazy with installations and configurations. so i want to run cvsd on the machine yet im at a loss for solid documentation setting up the server side deamon. i found a decent publication here http://www.taursys.com/howto/cvs/ discussing a cvs configuration on a red hat system. i thought eghh why not and started to follow the instructions. ive got the cvsroot established on my system, but then i hit the part of the doc where a line must be added to /etc/services . i decided to back off here because gentoo has the rc-update mechanism, and if i remember correctly the file is intended to always be modified via the rc-update mechanism and not manually on this distro.
rc-update show does not produce a cvsd entry, and so im at a loss. the gentoo developer doc entitled cvs tutorial http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cvs-tutorial.xml does not cover the server set up. i really want some gentoo specific cvs server config info. thanks in advance

Any particular reason you aren't using subversion?

probably because i havent heard of it until your mention just now. i use it instead as long as there is enough good documentation to get me running on both server and client side laying around somewhere.

just checked out the free book on subversion @
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
now that's what i'm talking about.
it really seems cvs is behind the curve on the documentation, seriously everyone starts their docs with a
'of course the server will already be set up' attitude
im coding tonight, but tommorow when i get the chance its subversion time.
ill tell you what i think after i try it out
