This is an RFC, because there is potential room for improvement here. While the default cvsroot for viewvc is pkgs, there are still other cvsroots accessible via viewvc and I'm not sure if all of them are read-only. I doubt they are.
The question is whether having the note in the header for all cvsroots is a bad thing and if anyone knows the viewvc ezt template system well enough to make it only show up when rootname == pkgs. It seems like it may be possible to do this, but I don't know the ezt syntax to make that happen. Help would be most welcome, if the general idea here is sound and someone else is bored or curious enough to give it a try.
Doing this bit may be as simple as:
diff --git i/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt w/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt index 96bd5a2..942983c 100644 --- i/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt +++ w/modules/viewvc/files/viewvc/header.ezt @@ -10,7 +10,11 @@ [if-any rss_href]<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS [[][rootname]][where]" href="[rss_href]" />[end] </head> <body> +[if-any rootname] + [is rootname "pkgs"] <h2>NOTE: CVS is now read-only.

But I don't have a multi-root viewvc at hand to test against.
