Hi I've used now cvs for quite a while and never thought I'd run into such a problem. But anyway here it is.
We tag our sources from time to time as it should be. But for some reason not all tags go into the val-tags file. In some repositories it's even empty. According to docu this shouldn't matter as cvs will refill it next time a tag is used. Problem is now that I get a "no such tag" error on some operations if it is not in the val-tags file. And I don't know what to do to get it in. Some operations work (log file, checkout module), some do not (diff, checkout file). But those that work don't update the val-tags file. If I manually add the tag in the val-tags file in the repo then also the other commands work (with exactly the same settings as before). But a different user had the same problems and adding the tag didn't help in his case (assuming he did it right). cvs log file: symbolic names: Version16: 1.10 VERSION15a: 1.9 VERSION15: 1.7 VERSION14: 1.7 VERSION13: 1.5 VERSION12: 1.4 cvs update -rVERSION15 file cvs.exe [update aborted]: no such tag VERSION15 A cvs init didn't help either. Apart from this problem everything else works (with the newest revision). I use cvs 1.11.1p1 on Windows, repo is local or network, no difference. I can't use 1.11.2 because of its problems on Windows and I haven't tried a cvs version. There are no problems with access rights. I'm sorry if this is a simple FAQ or newbie question or if it has been solved in the cvs version, but I couldn't find more info.
