Hello,
I have the following problem using a NT 'pserver' CVSNT 1.11.1.2 (Build
36) and having files in subdirectories in the checkoutlist, e.g.
CVSSupport/ACL.pm. The cvs server on NT cannot rename the new temporary
file e.g. .#314 to CVSSupport/ACL.pm. Therefore the administrative
database is not updated correctly.
I think, the problem is before this step, because the server tries to
rename the existing CVSSupport/ACL.pm to .#CVSSupport/ACL.pm, which is not
possible under Windows NT, though our Linux (1.11.1pl1) server seems to
handle this rename.
IMHO, this rename is not correct, neither for Linux nor for Windows. I
guess it should be a rename from CVSSupport/ACL.pm to CVSSupport/.#ACL.pm.
To achieve this I have patched the mkmodules.c. Using this patch (see
below) the above problem is solved and the .#-files appear in the
subdirectories as they can seen in the CVSROOT directory.
BTW, I am using this patch with a Windows and Linux cvs server.
