PROGRAM:

NAME

rancid-cvs - initialize CVS, Subversion or git and rancid group files and directories

SYNOPSIS

rancid-cvs [-V] [-f config_file] [group [group ...]]

DESCRIPTION

rancid-cvs creates the directories and router.db(5) for each rancid group and handles the
revision control system (CVS, Subversion or git) set-up in the location defined by the
CVSROOT in rancid.conf(5). It must be run after the initial installation and whenever a
rancid group is added. If CVSROOT is a URL, rancid-cvs will not initialize the
repository, the user must do this themselves.

rancid-cvs reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then proceeds with the
initialization. First of the CVS, Subversion or git repository, if necessary, and then
for each of the rancid groups listed on the command-line or those in the variable
LIST_OF_GROUPS from rancid.conf(5), if the argument is omitted.

Running rancid-cvs for groups which already exist will not cause problems. If the group's
directory already exists, the import into the revision control system will be skipped, and
if it's router.db(5) already exists, it will not be altered.

The command-line options are as follows:

-V Prints package name and version strings.

-f group_config_file
Specify an alternative rancid.conf. The global rancid.conf file is read by rancid-
run.

The best method for adding groups is by adding the group name to LIST_OF_GROUPS in
rancid.conf(5), then run rancid-cvs. Do not create the directories manually, allow
rancid-cvs to do it.
