Hi; just discovered this group. Help!
I have a question very similar to that first asked within this thread.
We've been using CVS exclusively on Solaris/Unix
until now. We are now porting to NT. We intend to have a single source
repository on a Solaris machine, which will be accessed by users on
BOTH the
NT and Solaris nodes. We'll be using Samba as the cross-platform file
access
mechanism.
Until now I speculated that maybe the proper thing to do is to
employ the cvswrappers file. specifically, using the -f option to
invoke
'unix2dos' when a checkout is performed from the NT side, and to invoke
'dos2unix' when a checkin is performed from the NT side. When a
checkin/checkout is done from the Unix side, we'd (somehow?) preclude
those
utilities from being run.
Is this unrealistic? Is this a naive approach, doomed to failure?
Is there a preferred approach that's been found to work by others
who've 'been there' already?
