Connection refused
Hi, I have installed CVS in my server, created the repository, assigned the correct permissions to group cvs, and added the developers to that group. I have also included in /etc/services the following services: cvspserver 2401/tcp cvspserver 2401/udp cvsup 5999/tcp cvsup 5999/udp Nevertheless, when developers try to import the modules from their client machines, they get the following error: cvs [import aborted]: connect to 208.1.34.222:2401 failed: Connection refused What have I forgotten to do?

Re: Remove a folder with WinCVS?
Peter Davis wrote: Does anyone know if there's a way to remove a folder with WinCVS? We've removed all the files in the folder, but when we select the folder itself, the remove option is grayed out. CVS can't remove directories; it only controls files. To remove empty directories, you need to prune empty directories (cvs update -P). In WinCVS you can select this option in the Globals tab of the Update settings dialog. -Matt ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

In that case, you should make sure that your Windows editor doesn't change the file line endings to DOS format. If that's a big problem, you might be better off with using WinCVS.

MSVC Problems
*** Before acting on this e-mail or opening any attachment you are advised to read the disclaimer at the end of this e-mail *** Hi I sent this email to the CVSNT list earlier, but didn't get any response. I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. :-) I'm new to CVSNT and I'm currently importing an MSVC project. I can import the project from the command line (I haven't got to grips with CvsIn_4_2_1_38 yet, more later) without any problem, but when I checkout the project all the folders I've produced in the class view to group my classes have disappeared. Has anyone else had this problem? I assume for some reason the file containing the info about the folders isn't being imported, but the rest of the project settings appear to be there. I've also downloaded the source for CvsIn_4_2_1_38 and can compile it, but I'm not sure what to do then. Obviously I want to install it into MSVC. Any help would be appreciated.

unedit without edit
Suppose someone is working off line and does the following: - Unlock and edit some files; - Connect to the server and do a cvs update - Decide to throw out one of the sets of file changes and revert to the last version. What is the command sequence for doing this? If the user had done a cvs edit on the file originally, then cvs unedit would presumably do what they wanted, but in the scenario I just described, they cannot do an unedit because they never did an edit. It also appears that doing the edit, followed by an unedit does not have the desired result. Throwing out the file and just doing a cvs update on the file is probably not a good idea because a newer version may have been checked in. I suppose that they could update to the version in the CVS/Entries file, but that seems baroque and dangerous, and I'm not sure whether that would create a sticky tag. Not to mention being the sort of thing that casual users should never have to do. Is there some command for ensuring that you obtain a clean copy of the version of a file that you are working on besides cvs unedit?

So, whenever I attempt any cvs opertations on the files at the top level I get the error: cvs add: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs [add aborted]: no repository the directory structure after checkout: cvscache - src |- org - foo --- .. | |--- CVS | + Entries |- CVS+ ... | + Entries | + .. | + somefile.txt I believe there should be a CVS directory created as a child of the cvscache directory.

Larry Jones wrote:

Yes it's, is a Unix, Hp11
If it does, then you probably have a link problem; if not, it's probably a
problem with your changes.
The only change that I made according with the INTALL manual to set setgid:
also modified the Makefile with :
DEFS = -DSETXID_SUPPORT -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
14. How about using groups and setgid() then?
Here is a way to run CVS setgid in some environments:
Stick this near the front of the main() in main.c:
setgid(getegid());
This will allow access to work on systems where it only works on the
real gid.
Create a group named cvsg. (This example uses cvsg. You can name
it
as you wish.)
Put *no* users in the cvsg group. You can put Repository
administrators in this group if you want to.
Set the cvs executable to setgid (not setuid):
cd /usr/local/bin; chown root.cvsg cvs; chmod 2755 cvs
Make sure every file in the Repository is in group cvsg:
chown -R root.cvsg $CVSROOT
Change all directory permissions to 770. This allows all access to
the files by the cvsg group (which has no members!) and no access at
all to anyone else.
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod 2770 {} \;
On some systems you might have to type:
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=,g+s {} \;
I don't know if for the new version 1.11.2 it needs a requirement, like
libraries or something.
or for getegid needs an extra change.
Please advise.
Thanks.

You don't say what platform you're running on, but assuming it's
Unix-like, that implies that the getpwuid() system call with your uid
returned NULL. If you're using NIS (nee Yellow Pages) to distribute
users and passwords, it may be that you need to link with a special
library to get an NIS-enabled version of that routine. Or it could be
one of your modifications. You might want to try building an unmodified
version of CVS and see if it has the same problem. If it does, then you
probably have a link problem; if not, it's probably a problem with your
changes.

binary documentation locking?
Hi all, Is there any mechanism in CVS to force a check outs 'read-only' for certain modules. I would like to have a documentation module such that code is initially checked out read-only. When a user wishes to edit a file, he uses 'cvs edit' and the file becomes read write. No other user should be abe to do a 'cvs edit' while someone else has a file in 'edit' mode. These requirements are because these documentation files are binary. I don't want more then one person to edit a file and try to merge. Any insight is appreciated.

Re: SETXID_SUPPORT
sorry for delay in replay , but I was looking into this, I tried with
cvs.1.11.2 but same result :

Yes it's, is a Unix, Hp11
If it does, then you probably have a link problem; if not, it's probably a
problem with your changes.
The only change that I made according with the INTALL manual was:
14. How about using groups and setgid() then?
Here is a way to run CVS setgid in some environments:
Stick this near the front of the main() in main.c:
setgid(getegid());
This will allow access to work on systems where it only works on the
real gid.
Create a group named cvsg. (This example uses cvsg. You can name it
as you wish.)
Put *no* users in the cvsg group. You can put Repository
administrators in this group if you want to.
Set the cvs executable to setgid (not setuid):
cd /usr/local/bin; chown root.cvsg cvs; chmod 2755 cvs
Make sure every file in the Repository is in group cvsg:
chown -R root.cvsg $CVSROOT
Change all directory permissions to 770. This allows all access to
the files by the cvsg group (which has no members!) and no access at
all to anyone else.
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod 2770 {} \;
On some systems you might have to type:
find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=,g+s {} \;
I don't know if for the new version 1.11.2 it needs a requirement, like
libraries or something.
or for getegid needs an extra change.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Any ideas what I doing wrong.
You don't say what platform you're running on, but assuming it's
Unix-like, that implies that the getpwuid() system call with your uid
returned NULL. If you're using NIS (nee Yellow Pages) to distribute
users and passwords, it may be that you need to link with a special
library to get an NIS-enabled version of that routine. Or it could be
one of your modifications. You might want to try building an unmodified
version of CVS and see if it has the same problem. If it does, then you
probably have a link problem; if not, it's probably a problem with your
changes.

splitting CVSROOT/modules into multiple files?
Hello, is it possible to use more than one modules file in CVS? I would like the modules file to behave like http.conf in apache using the include directive.

Re: Write permissions on files
There are a number of other reasons this can happen: - -r on the command line - .cvsrc (or perhaps other cvsrc'ish files?) - CVSREAD environment variable - some global option in CVSROOT/config, I think For more info: - see the section File Permissions in the CVS manual - search the list archives, especially for CVSREAD; this has been discussed before Note that as soon as you define the CVSREAD environment variable, you'll get read-only files. The value is *ignored*; the mere fact that CVSREAD is present in the environment at all is what matters.

It's not only possible, that's the way it's supposed to work! You must be doing something special to get read-only files. If there was a cvs watch on applying to those files, wouldn't they be checked out or updated read-only? If this was being done on these files, then presumably cvs edit would be the way to make them writable, not chmod +w.
