2011-04-28 09:23 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Relocating an install of CVS Suite is not currently supported.  

This bug is to track specific errors that are encountered when this is attempted.

2011-04-28 09:48 AEST by Arthur Barrett - The RPM Spec currently refers to some hardcoded paths, which cause some errors during install:


$ sudo rpm -i --nodeps --prefix=/home/abarrett/cvs-suite-2009-4123 cvsnt-2.8.01.4123-
1.i386.rpm cvs-suite-triggers-2.8.01.4123-1.i386.rpm cvsnt-database-mysql-2.8.01.4123-
1.i386.rpm cvsnt-database-oracle-2.8.01.4123-1.i386.rpm cvsnt-protocol-gserver-2.8.01.4123-

CVS Suite
 
For each person who will use this software you must
have purchased a CVS Suite or CVS Professional support
license.  Use of this compiled software without a 
CVS Suite or CVS Professional support license is in
breach of both the software licenses and the the CVS
Suite and CVS Professional support agreements.

You can resolve this problem by pre-creating the directories, eg:
cd /home/abarrett/cvs-suite-2009-4123
mkdir usr
mkdir usr/lib
mkdir usr/bin
mkdir bin lib
mkdir etc
mkdir usr/lib/cvsnt
 

2011-04-29 05:37 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Note: using -prefix= only partially relocates the following:

bindir
mandir
sysconfdir


so if prefix is /home/myuser/cvsnt, you end up with:


/home/myuser/cvsnt/bin/cvsnt
/home/myuser/cvsnt/usr/lib/cvsnt/protocols/pserver.so
