Hi all, sorry for not participating in this discussion earlier -
I had a code freeze Thursday and then I flew out to Minnesota Friday
morning (where I am still located, much to my chagrin).

cvsweb used to be able to write in the cvs directories so this would
work - it ran as user 'webuser', which is in each of the project's
entires in /etc/group.

A few options:

  1. Leave cvs annotate disabled

  2. Change all the 'webuser' entries in /etc/group to 'apache'.

  3. Eat the time to do the switch to viewcvs.  On the up side,
     viewcvs is being maintained and works entirely read-only.  On
     the down side, we have a few hacks to cvsweb which are convenient
     and we'd need to reimplement them.

Sorry for not joining in on the discussion earlier,

Jason
