You have to use "cvs update -dP" on your server sandbox to create new directories and delete empty one in a workign directory.
For your other problem I don't know sorry :) -- Julien ---------------- I've recently started using CVS to help manage a programming project that I, and I alone, am working on, at least for now. I'm having a problem and couldn't find a solution in the docs or in the archives. My setup is that I have my CVS repository on my working server, and then a sandbox on my working server from which a build script puts things where they're supposed to go. Then on my development server, I again have a sandbox and a build script. I've been working by making changes in the sandbox on the dev sever, and when they're ready, committing them to the repository, updating the working server's sandbox, and building it out. There was a point at which I was making a lot of changes to my dev sandbox, but didn't have access to the repository so couldn't commit anything. When I got back to it, I found that I couldn't get some things to match up. The basic problem is that I had taken a specific program, and directory, called Book.pm and Book/ and then generalized it and renamed them to MyDatabase.pm and MyDatabase/ . In my dev sandbox, I have this directory called MyDatabase/ and there are a bunch of programs underneath it that used to be in Book/ . But I can't seem to get this directory onto the working server. When I go to the working sandbox and type "cvs update", it doesn't create MyDirectory/ or anything underneath it; it's the same when I deleted the entire sandbox and did a "cvs checkout" from scratch. Yet in the development sandbox, it certainly thinks it's there-- when I type "cvs add MyDatabase/" or "cvs add [any of the programs under MyDatabase/]" I get messages like "there is a version in MyDatabase already" or "SearchView.pm already exists, with version number 1.3". What do I need to do to get these files out of CVS and into the sandbox on the working server? Thanks very much. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.
