Fighting with CVS: the system won
When setting up a CVS repository for a new project on cocoondev.org, I ended up fighting with permissions, permissions and permissions - having Unix users residing in multiple groups/projects while making sure the correct group is used when creating new directories in a particular CVS repository is fun - not. Tomorrow, I'll give spackle a go, and I'll sure discover how much more Ken knows about CVS than me. But at 1:00AM, I call it quits for today. Mental hygiene!

i don't think spackle will help in this case, but i'd be glad to do so.. if we can get our timezones sufficiently aligned.

Gee, thanks Ken!
It looks like I got most of it sorted out myself, with the kind help of Sylvain Wallez. This afternoon, I have kids at home so no IRC - but thanks for the offer!

excellent. if you'd care to send me the set of initial issues you had, and how you fixed them, i'll see about adding them to the spackle wishlist. or not, as you like..

On directories that need to preserve group access I use chmod g+s dirname
