# cvs-makerepos(1)

script to create non-existing configured CVS repositories

## NAME

cvs-makerepos - script to create non-existing configured CVS repositories

## SYNOPSIS

**cvs-makerepos** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **cvs-makerepos** command.

**cvs-makerepos** is a script which will create CVS repositories in the locations configured using the Debian configuration scripts with some fairly standard permissions.\
 The standard permissions given are 2775 root.src. You may wish to change these if you do not wish all members of the local group src to have access to these repositories.

## OPTIONS

- **-d**

  Retrieve list of repositories directly using debconf, rather than from /etc/cvs-cron.conf or /etc/cvs.conf.

## SEE ALSO

[**cvs**(1)](/cvs/1.md), [**cvsconfig**(8)](/cvsconfig/8.md).
