Hello CVS Group!
This is my first time posting to a news group. I've checked the archives but couldn't find anybody in my situation. The plan is to move the cvs server from a Solaris 2.8 workstation running cvs-1.11.2 and moving it to LINUX RHEL 4.4 running cvs 1.11.22.
Is it as simple as rsync'ing the the CVS root directory from one server to the other. I wasn't sure if there would be an issue going from the different OS's and cvs versions.
Thanks
- Marc

Yep, it's just that simple. You're advised to run ``cvs init'' after a
version upgrade to create any new administrative files and make any
necessary changes to the repository format. However, there have never
been any necessary changes to the repository format, so it's not
strictly necessary but it's still a very good idea.
