Some people don't like the newline (including myself) and leaving it out by default makes it configurable. Put a blank line in your rcsinfo template! So what if you aren't using it yet? Since Mark's changes a few releases back, rcsinfo template changes will even show up on update and not just checkout! > >>>#9: -l still causing problems > >>>============================= > >>>http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/debian/cvs/patches/09_noop_-l.patch > >>> > >>>-l was re-added on the server, but can still cause client end > >>>problems.

I _have_ been hearing a lot of complaints about this. Perhaps it would be best to just to make the server noop on -l. Too bad noone has fixed release yet to use the internal update API rather than execing an external `cvs up'. :( Cheers, Derek - -- *8^) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get CVS support at <http://ximbiot.com>! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAo8GrLD1OTBfyMaQRArX2AJ0XOGIVa1oQmh1wGWRQZCF+gd+gTQCgg6i0 cSSq5NcqU2ylt8assYvfjWw= =ZABL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
