Re: Smart CVS
The reason i am using locks is because the files are XML, and as far as i know when CVS trys to merge XML it can result in invalid XML. I do however remember on previous uses of CVS the option to check stuff out as read only. However I cannot find that option now, this option was on the WinCvs client I am sure. Do i require to do some sort of configuration on the Cvs Server to allow the locking of files? I have read the above manual, well actually the manual for 1.11.17, as this is what I am using, it just seems to describe the difference between reserved and normal edits. I have been able to check out the repository but then had to manually tell it to unedit all the files, so they appeared as locked. Then when i commit a change to a file it just leaves it as editable, were in previous use of cvs it would go back to being uneditable, i.e read only. Does anyone know if i need to do something else that I may have not done. Thanks all for the extended help S. ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I have not searched the net for problems with XML and CVS, but I thought XML was text, and as such should be reasonably merge-able by CVS ... that is unless your XML contains binary blobs like what MS Word kicks out. I assume then that you have either seen some problems yourself or read about it on line? Do i require to do some sort of configuration on the Cvs Server to allow the locking of files? I have read the above manual, well actually the manual for 1.11.17, as this is what I am using, it just seems to describe the difference between reserved and normal edits. In most situations, with reasonable developers, reserved edits and watch notification, can take the place of locking. i.e., you can do `cvs watch on *XML` [1] setup the notify administrative file and have the developers do `cvs watch add -a all file_they_work_on` then have them do `cvs edit filename` anytime they need to edit a file. Then here is the hard part, if they get a notification that another user has begun editing a file, they should contact that user and negotiate with them the time needed to finish their own edits. You might also want to look at the 1.12.x series, IIRC it has the advisory lock patch in it, and can stop the edit from working, if there is someone else editing the file, unless the developer knowingly bypasses the edit with an option. i.e., it is a stronger (extended) form of the 'cvs watch on` + `cvs edit` commands. I have been able to check out the repository but then had to manually tell it to unedit all the files, so they appeared as locked. Had you already done `cvs watch on` on the files? if you had then they should have come as read-only (locked). Then when i commit a change to a file it just leaves it as editable, were in previous use of cvs it would go back to being uneditable, i.e read only. Then I would expect you had not yet done a `cvs watch on` on those files, the manual indicates [2] : the cvs commit command, which checks in your changes and returns the watched files to their usual read-only state Does anyone know if i need to do something else that I may have not done. See above and below. :) Thanks all for the extended help S.

Re: Smart CVS
We have seen similar problems with the SmartCVS zlib compression. In fact yesterday our QA found an issue with SmartCVS 4.0.5 whereby connection closes by server was causing java io exception in the Java zlib input stream handler in SmartCVS. With compression disabled all was well. Regards, Rahul Bhargava CTO, WANdisco http://www.wandisco.com/cvs ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Only question I have left is can you make files read only in smartCVS so that users have to select the file for editing first, to stop other users being able to edit the same file at the same time? Canonical answer: Why would you want to do that? Are you working with some strange binary format? Full answer: If you really think you wan to do that, read the manual section 10 Multiple developers[1], the answers you seek are there.

Guys, I posted on here recently with regards to using SSH and SmartCvs, I have (i think) made a little head way in this but when trying to get the modules to read from smartCVS checkout project option i am getting the following: An i/o error occured, details: Unknown Compression method I have no idea why I am getting this! I can get the cvs now to check out files on an older version of CVS 1.2 or something like that using putty and plink, but would rather be using smartCVS Thanks again guys p.s. would have posted this on the smartCVS form but my company firewall blocks it!

There should be a checkbox on the check-in dialog for compression. There are known issues with compression on some versions of the CVS server. p.s. would have posted this on the smartCVS form but my company firewall blocks it! subscribe via email.
