[ I hope my question is within the scope of this mailing discussion. I posted my question to news:comp.software.config-mgmt, but received no reply so far. So, I thought of trying here, as I've no where else to turn for help. Thanks. ] From: Hon-Chi Ng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: CVS: Using both client/server method with rsh and -d option for checkout Date: 15 Mar 2000 05:23:29 GMT Message-ID: <8an6oe$v7k$[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: comp.software.config-mgmt,comp.unix.misc,comp.unix.questions I'm using CVS 1.10.7 (client/server) on Solaris 2.5.1 with hypothetical username 'user1' on host 'mach1'. > cvs -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.7 (client/server) ... > whoami user1 > hostname mach1 First of all, I can import and check out (with -d option for output dir) the source files using non-client/server method. > cd proj1 > ls src/foo.c src/foo.c > cvs -d /proj/cvs_repo import -m "My Project 1" MyProj1 XYZ start cvs import: Importing /proj/cvs_repo/MyProj1/src N MyProj1/src/foo.c ... No conflicts created by this import > cd ../proj1_test > cvs -d /proj/cvs_repo co -d . MyProj1 cvs checkout: Updating . cvs checkout: Updating src U src/foo.c ... However, if I check out the source files using remote method with rsh protocol, CVS complains about the -d option of checkout (Note it's NOT the -d for CVSROOT). > cvs -d :ext:user1@mach1:/proj/cvs_repo co -d . MyProj1 cvs server: existing repository /proj/cvs_repo does not match /proj/cvs_repo/MyProj1 cvs server: ignoring module MyProj1 On the other hand, if I check out the source files using remote method with rsh protocol but without the -d option of checkout, CVS works happily. > cvs -d :ext:user1@mach1:/proj/cvs_repo co MyProj1 cvs server: Updating MyProj1 cvs server: Updating MyProj1/src U MyProj1/src/foo.c ... I further verify that it's not the way I import the source files by importing them using remote method with rsh protocol. CVS still complains when the remote method and -d option of checkout are used simultaneously. > cd ../proj2 > ls src/bar.c src/bar.c > cvs -d :ext:user1@mach1:/proj/cvs_repo import -m "My Project 2" MyProj2 XYZ start cvs server: Importing /proj/cvs_repo/MyProj2/src N MyProj2/src/bar.c ...

Q: I want to check out the source files into my current directory just as those that I originally imported into the repository without the module name prepended as subdirectory to the current directory (i.e. using -d option of checkout), and I want to use the remote method with rsh protocol. How can I get both to work happily? Thanks. I appreciate your help. Hon-Chi
