6 rancid-cvs - initialize CVS or Subversion and rancid group files and
7 directories
8
10 rancid-cvs [-V] [group [group ...]]
11
13 rancid-cvs creates the directories and router.db(5) for each rancid
14 group and handles the revision control system (CVS or Subversion) set-
15 up. It must be run after installation and whenever a rancid group is
16 added.
17
18 rancid-cvs reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then proceeds with
19 the initialization. First of the CVS or Subversion repository, if
20 necessary, and then for each of the rancid groups listed on the
21 command-line or those in the variable LIST_OF_GROUPS from
22 rancid.conf(5), if the argument is omitted.
23
24 Running rancid-cvs for groups which already exist will not cause
25 problems. If the group's directory already exists, the import into the
26 revision control system will be skipped, and if it's router.db(5)
27 already exists, it will not be altered.
28
29 The command-line options are as follows:
30
31 -V Prints package name and version strings.
32
33 The best method for adding groups is add the group name to
34 LIST_OF_GROUPS in rancid.conf(5), then run rancid-cvs. Do not create
35 the directories manually, allow rancid-cvs to do it.
