Re: difference between tag and rtag?
Jason Yeung writes: I'm a beginner of CVS and I was wondering what is the difference between tag and rtag? They both assign symbolic tags to a set of files. tag must be used in a working directory. It tags just the files that are present in the working directory and, by default, applies the tag to the revision of the file that is checked out. rtag can be used anywhere, it tags the files in the specified module or repository directory, and by default applies the tag to the latest revision on the trunk. With rtag, if you don't specify a particular revision to tag, you really don't know what revisions you're tagging, so it's not a good thing to do. In general, tag is used to tag things you're working on, rtag is only used to create a branch off of an existing tagged revision without having to check it out. -Larry Jones I'm getting disillusioned with these New Years. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Retrieving deleted file from the Attic
Jason Yeung writes: I was wondering if it's possible to recover a file that is in the Attic directory? When you remove a file (and committed), the file gets copied to the Attic directory. For all purposes, it's removed from the repository. Hardly -- you can still use most CVS commands on the file, you just have to give the file name explicitly since there's no local file: bash-2.02$ ls foo ls: foo: No such file or directory bash-2.02$ cvs status foo === File: no file foo Status: Up-to-date Working revision:No entry for foo Repository revision: 1.3 /tmp/cvstest/test/Attic/foo,v bash-2.02$ cvs log foo RCS file: /tmp/cvstest/test/Attic/foo,v Working file: foo head: 1.3 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 3; selected revisions: 3 description: revision 1.3 date: 2002/11/14 16:06:49; author: scjones; state: dead; lines: +0 -0 . revision 1.2 date: 2002/11/14 16:06:38; author: scjones; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 . revision 1.1 date: 2002/11/14 16:06:31; author: scjones; state: Exp; . = As explained in the CVS manual, you can resurrect a removed file by undoing the change that removed it: bash-2.02$ cvs up -j1.3 -j1.2 foo U foo bash-2.02$ cvs status foo === File: foo Status: Locally Added Working revision:New file!

Re: Reserverd Checkouts
Hi all, we swiched from VSS to CVS (mixed CVS and WinCVS) recently. Though all developers love to use CVS rather than VSS some are missing the ability to make particular reserved checkouts. (Okay... I know about the philosophical dimension this topic issues.) Good. We'll skip that. From the CQ-Manual we've learned about the admin -l option -- but WinCVS tells this command is deprecated. It also means that everybody has to have the ability to use the cvs admin commands, which can do unpleasant and permanent things when misused. I recommend not having them free for everybody to use. The recommended solution is to read up on cvs watch and cvs edit and use those abilities instead. In my experience, notification works just as well as reserved edits, assuming developers you can trust with your code in the first place. So does anybody know how to setup CVS-NT with reserved checkout capabilities or how to apply this mode to a particular module or file (from a client's cvs-system)? Um, if you want a CVSNT answer, you should go to http://www.cvsnt.org. It is possible (although I don't think so) that the CVSNT people have done something closer to what you want. This is the regular CVS mailing list, and I've given you the regular CVS answer. -- Now building a CVS reference site at http://www.thornleyware.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
logging tag history using scripts to create a log file in therepository
Does anyone know of such a script? I wrote a short perl script that opens up a template file and fills in the info passed by CVS when the script is run and then gives control to the user to fill in details of why and for who the build was tagged. The problem is that when I tag a whole directory structure, it creates a log file in every subdirectory also. This may or may not be bad, but the problem is that the user has to duplicate their comments in every version of the tag.log file. I have attached the script and the template that I wrote (be kind - I am not really a programmer:). Note that the TagLog.Template must be in a directory called /home/projects/CVSROOT to work as is. If anyone has a simple way to fix my script, that would be nice, but if you know of a canned script that does the same kind of thing, I would appreciate that too. I don't have to do this it just has to get done. Thanks TagLog.Template Description: Binary data taglog.pl Description: Perl program

Re: export . but not get CVSROOT directory
Annette Waters writes: Is there a way to be able to export . (cvs export -r blahblah -d blahblah .) and not export the CVSROOT repository? I'm not sure why you'd want to export everything in the repository except for CVSROOT, but you can do that by defining an alias module for the root directory that excludes CVSROOT. For example: top -a !CVSROOT . Unfortunately, excluding directories doesn't work when you use -d, so instead of the above you'd have to do: mkdir xxx cd xxx cvs export -r yyy top -Larry Jones I never get to do anything fun. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Because it's how remote CVS was designed to be used and because it is the only way to make remote CVS access secure. CVS-pserver is not secure in any way whatsoever and cannot be made secure. CVS-pserver is only just barely suitable for read-only anonymous access, and then really only if it's used on a secure private network or if there's some other _secure_ way to verify the integrity of the files retrieved via pserver.
