        Hi,

        I see that you nuked the original CVSROOT which is not a problem
in itself. However you want to keep the config file otherwise anonymous
cvs won't work.

# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
SystemAuth=no

LockDir=/var/lock/cvs/cvsroot/phpgroupware

# Set `PreservePermissions' to `yes' to save file status information
# in the repository.
#PreservePermissions=no

# Set `TopLevelAdmin' to `yes' to create a CVS directory at the top
# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
#TopLevelAdmin=no


        Also you probably want to add the following to the passwd
file so that instructions in http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=509
work as expected (for anonymous cvs). 

anoncvs:02oawyZdjhhpg

        In addition the current passwd file contains:

anonymous:$1$0H$2/LSjjwDfsSA0gaDYY5Df/:anoncvs_phpgroupware

        but the anoncvs_phpgroupware user does not exist and you want to
change to:

anonymous:$1$0H$2/LSjjwDfsSA0gaDYY5Df/:anoncvs

        that will have the nice effect of keeping the anonymous user
valid and probably reduce the confusion for people willing to migrate
their anoncvs access. Mixing des & md5 passwd at this level is not 
problematic IIRC.

        Since you can't really delete the sf.net CVS tree, you may want
to use the following to notify people trying to commit to the sf.net CVS 
tree.

in loginfo

ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/obsolete %s

in /cvsroot/phpgroupware/CVSROOT/obsolete try a variant of the following:

#
# Suggest developers (only printed on commit) to switch to savannah instead
# of using sf.net. Printed once per day.
# Loic Dachary (address@hidden)
#

user=`id -un`
project=`expr "$1" : '\([^ /][^ /]*\).*'`
stone=/var/run/obsolete/$user.$project.obsolete

if test ! -f $stone || find $stone -mtime 1 | grep $user > /dev/null
then
        touch $stone
else
        exit 0
fi

cat <<EOF | tee $stone
        No longer a repository. Check http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=509
EOF

        Cheers,
