Subject : OK but but no envir variable work...
Well chapter 3 of the book version Management they speak over archiving
a existing directory structure.
So in my .bash_profile I set the following :
<snip>
CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
export CVSROOT
</snip>
Cases are correct I tripple check them
+ chown -Rv to my user,
as well as chmod to 777 for the first test.
In the mean, I checked the CVSROOT directory structure on my machine &
in the book. I have :
/home/cvsroot
CVSROOT # directory content displayed at the end
Python # I created it &
I then moved to ~/prog/Python & applied the followin' call :
cvs import -m "Test for Python" Python Private start
but here's what I got :
<snip>
[tsmets@Calvin Python]$ cvs import -m "Test Python" Python Private
start
cvs import: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [import aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
[tsmets@Calvin Python]$
</snip>
but then if I do a
<snip>
[tsmets@Calvin Python]$ echo ${CVSROOT}
/home/cvsroot
[tsmets@Calvin Python]$
</snip>
Hopefully,
<snip>
[tsmets@Calvin Python]$ cvs -d /home/cvsroot import -m "Test Python"
Python Private start
N Python/Log
N Python/.signature
cvs import: Importing /home/cvsroot/Python/dbg
cvs import: Importing /home/cvsroot/Python/Tst
N Python/Tst/Brian.py
N Python/Tst/Brian.pyc
N Python/Tst/Test.txt
N Python/Tst/TestQT.py
...
</snip>
Someone got an idea ?
