As per my knowledge to just create a module you need not add any entry in Module file. Just by adding a Module name in module file does not create a project. Instead you will get an error message when you try to check out that project. Error message will look like
cvs [checkout aborted]: there is no repository <CVSROOR>/<MODULENAME> We use Module file to add certain restrictions on the usage of that repository. For example there is an administrative project that I want to know who is checking out or committing, I would add an entry in module file to control that part. To create a module in CVS there are two different ways. Read following part of CVS manual. http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_3.html#SEC38 The module file has nothing to do with creating a module in CVS. You can have modules that you work on and their names not listed in module file.

I didn't find it. So I created a folder by that module name and added a file to it and tried to check in. If I had succeded in creating a module in cvs, wouldn't it accept file check-in to that module ? Thanks Sangeetha Vishal Jain wrote: > Hi, > > It all looks fine to me.
