Cvs and gCvs on Fedora Core 5
This is to discourage Fraz from reading my blog:) Anyway recently I installed CVS server and client on a customers Fedora Core 5 system.
As for the server I followed my own quick Howto from here . The differences were that Fedora Core 5 doesent have xinetd super server by default. I installed it like this
# yum install xinetd.
Secondly the cvsadmin link in my howto is broken. So I managed to download a working rpm from here
As for the cvs client I used gCvs. Its rpm can be downloaded and installed from here. Though the installation went fine but due to some GCC compatibilty it would not run. For that I had to install some libstdc related packages. This is all you have to do for yum enabled systems:
# yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-296
Thats all :)

Naa brother! I love Fedora installations! Man I used to travel around the world when they had Fedora fairs in Fedora recreational parks!

Hi, another package is required (not already used in my system):
gcvs: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(resolved doing yum install tcl)
BTW, the program is really quite bad compared to the windows version... really a pitty

I guess my system already had TCL. Anyway thanx for the tip.
I fully agree with the comparison.
