I have the same problem too: $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore doesn't work. Here is my previous posting: ,----- | I am having problems trying to avoid some files using cvsignore file. | When I created it using the following command, | | echo "*.class *.txt *.jar" > $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore | chmod ug+rwx,o-rwx !$ | | and did a cvs import (using a normal user account), all .class files | get imported.

It seems to be the most frequently asked question, with no correct answer yet. Here is what happened when I tried to "checkout CVSROOT, and 'cvs add' the cvsignore file": /export/cvs/CVSROOT# cvs add cvsignore cvs add: in directory .: cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first /export/cvs/CVSROOT# cvs checkout . cvs [checkout aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself /export/cvs/CVSROOT# cvs checkout cvsignore cvs [checkout aborted]: Cannot check out files into the repository itself _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
