3.2. Remove old CVS folders
If, for any reason, you already have CVS/ directories in your catalog, they must be removed because they might interfere with the new CVS setup. For example, maybe you moved servers and you are setting up CVS again. You might use the following find command, which will find any folders named CVS in the current directory and remove them. There is probably a better way to deal with old CVS/ folders, but the following works for me (again, suggestions welcome).
Note: You should make a backup of the catalog directory before you do this.
#Become interchange catalog user su - interch #backup catalog folder first tar czf ~/foundation_backup.tgz /var/lib/interchange/foundation #get rid of any old CVS folders -- (BE CAREFULL!) cd /var/lib/interchange/foundation find . -name CVS -exec rm -Rf {} \;
