I have an online CVS repository that I need to check code into. However, the server is outside my control and is often down.

So, is there a way to set up some sort of local CVS server/proxy such that I can check my code into the local CVS server regularly and have the local CVS server batch commit the changes to the online CVS repo periodically?

The local repository could possibly run some other SCM system, if that was necessary to prevent conflict with CVS. Online commits could possibly be done manually, or via cron. I’m open to suggestions.

I guess that my main concern would be the problems faced in trying to set up some sort of repository ‘hierarchy’.

PS: I’m running Linux all along the ‘hierarchy’.

Edit: Found a similar item here.

  1. Use git locally, and then git-cvsexportcommit would be my suggestion. There’s a blog post that talks about this at http://issaris.blogspot.com/2005/11/cvs-to-git-and-back.html although I’ll be the first to admit that the export process isn’t as easy to use as perhaps it could be.
