problem with rtag
Hi all, firstly please excuse my english, but it's not my home language. I hope you unterstand me. Thanks. Now my problem: We (I) need the use of rtag. In the cvs archiv is a file named cvstest/path/to/file.cpp,v. When I show this file (as root), then I see existing tags named: S_V0_IT1_S2 (revision: 1.1) S_V0_IT1_S1 (revision: 1.1) A0 (revision: 1.1) V1 (revision: 1.1) When I check out this file (as a normaly user) and use cvs status -v file.cpp then I also see this four tags. A script (called from root) should now set a new tag-name S_V0_IT1_S3 on a existing tag. But if I call cvs rtag -r A1 S_V0_IT1_S3 cvstest/path/to/file.cpp cvs returns 0 but do nothing! Why? If I call cvs rtag -r A5 S_V0_IT1_S3 cvstest/path/to/file.cpp cvs returns correctly 1 (and do nothing). Is this a bug? The using of -r existing_tag_name works correctly. But I need the Error-Code if the tag-name does not exists. We use CVS Version 1.10 on a Solaris 2.6 system (sparc). I can reproduce this error. Can anyone of also producing the returncode 0 by using rtag of a non existing tag? Can anyone help (to do list for a correctly rc if a error occured) Thanks. Gerd

Re: Unix to Dos filtering
Karen Baldwin writes: We've been using CVS exclusively on Solaris/Unix until now. We are now porting to NT. We intend to have a single source repository on a Solaris machine, which will be accessed by users on BOTH the NT and Solaris nodes. We'll be using Samba as the cross-platform file access mechanism. Although you could use Samba to share the repository, using client/server CVS is a much better solution. Do not under any circumstances use Samba to share working directories -- the different line ending conventions between Unix and DOS/Windows will cause you no end of grief. -Larry Jones Let's pretend I already feel terrible about it, and that you don't need to rub it in any more. -- Calvin

Re: problems with checkout (on LINUX)
Eric Hernandez writes: 1) After "Hacking" with any of the files checked-out in 'ccvs' I enter the command, 'cvs commit ccvs'. It prompts me for a log of somesort and I enter one. When I go into the repository to view the changes that I've commited, the file exists 'UnModified'. What am I doing wrong? The files in the repository should be RCS files -- instead of file1, you should have file1,v. If you were looking at one of those, you would see all kinds of metadata, not the unmodified file, so I can only assume that you've got a bunch of non-RCS files in your repository, which is just plain wrong. How did you populate your repository in the first place? -Larry Jones He doesn't complain, but his self-righteousness sure gets on my nerves. -- Calvin
Re: roll back a single file
Look in the manual under admin (Appendix A). You can create a unix group "cvsadmin", and only members of this group can run the cvs admin command. To prevent use of cvs admin, create a group with no members. On NT you are stuck; all users can run cvs admin.
