Tagging Permissions
Hi All, Can anybody suggest, how to restrict specific users from tagging. We are using CVS Server 1.11 under linux & accessing thru both Mac CVSClient & WinCVS using pserver. Upto now, any user who got permission to access repository, can use tagging utility. Now we want to restrict some users to do tagging. waiting for prompt reply & suggestion --Prem ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Problem connecting to remote repo from wincvs
I'm trying to get this to work and I'm getting an error from the client.
WinCVS login returns an error. The following error is reported:
Cvs -d :pserver:dahurt@cvs:/usr/local/cvsroot login
Cvs [login aborted]: connect to 192.168.2.52(192.168.2.52):2401 failed: No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I'm running CVS version:
[root@cvs]# cvs version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)
I configured the cvspserver service on the Linux server (RH7.3) as:
service cvspserver
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
disable = no
wait= no
user= root
passenv =
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver
}
I updated config file to look for the user in the system password file. I
restarted xinetd.
Cvspserver is defined in /etc/services with port 2401.
Please, what am I missing?
Daniel.

You'd organize it as: / src/ doc/ lib/ Then write a top-level Makefile (or similar) containing an "install" target to copy everything to where it needs to be in production. In other words, pretty much the way the CVS distribution itself is organized. N.B.: isn't any particular directory. By default it will have the same name as the CVS module (probably "prds" in your case), but each developer is free to override that by giving their working directory any name they like, and to put it anywhere they like. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done, because a machine I have never heard of has crashed. - Leslie Lamport ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

In CVS, tags are meant to label the state of the module No. That is untrue. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to place a tag on a single file or checkout a single file. What you both ment to say, is that if you checkout a module, any tag referenced is assumed to exist over the whole module (or else the file is excluded WRT that tag). That is why, cvs "cleans up" the work are to give you what you asked for (which in this case is not what you want).

Re: NEWBIE: Multiple source directories in a single project?
Matthew, thank you for writing. I don't think I'm clear in expressing the problem, because I'm so new to CVS and it's terminology. The 'home' directory isn't derived from the 'htdocs' directory, or vise-versa. The 'home' directory contains some perl scripts and procmail recipes to deal with sending and receiving mail. The 'htdocs' files are .html and PHP scripts to implement a web-based emailing system. Files in either place could be changed. Someone else just wrote to me with an answer to my other posting, which contained an example which is probably more familiar to programmers. How would I use CVS to organized a project called "prds" which had source code in /usr/local/src/prds and documentation in /usr/share/docs/prds and library files in /var/lib/prds? If I can understand this, I can probably translate it to my problem.

NEWBIE: Using CVS to track SQL database structures?
I'm trying to implement my first project in CVS. In addition to source code files, part of the project involves changes and updates to both the data and the structure of tables in MySQL. Is there a way to include MySQL structures and data, either together or separately, in a CVS project? For instance, if a table was modified to add an additional field, could that change be tracked? What if both the table structure changed and some rows were added? Could both of these changes be included in a CVS project? What if just the changes to the table structures was important, and I wanted to just discard any changes to the data rows? I tried searching on either "SQL" or "database" in both the archives of this list and the FAQ, but came up empty.

NEWBIE: Multiple source directories in a single project?
I'm trying to use CVS for the very first time, and of course I have to pick a real-world, complex example to begin with, because I'm impatient with working through simpler projects. I have a project, called 'prds' which has two separate source code directories, /home/prds and /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/prds. What's the best way to handle this in CVS? Should I enter the separate directories as if they were two separate projects? I was hoping to set it up so that it was handled as a single entity. Searching for "multiple" and "directories" in the archives of this list yielded many references to "multiple repositories" but nothing I thought was applicable to this situation. Didn't find anything in the FAQ either. Is this just a strange way of programming? Should I try to force the project into a single directory branch, then create the two other branches with symlinks or something? Thank you for your thoughts as advice. If I've overlooked the answer already in archives or FAQ, please just point it out and accept my apologies. -Kevin Zembower - E.

No; the second checkout will not leave such files behind; it'll
delete them. It will do its best to leave you with *only* the
files (and the revisions of those files) tagged with B. The only
exceptions I can think of are:
- uncommitted changes; CVS will merge them rather than
clobbering them
- files not in CVS at all ("?" status); those will be left
alone

I believe that's the only approach that will work.

Hmmm. In theory, this should probably just work -- deletion is
just another revision, with a commit date. But I bet that in
practice there'll be ugliness involved :-(
But as Larry said to the original poster:
> No. You're expected to tag all the files in a module,
> not just some of them.
Indeed. In CVS, tags are meant to label the state of the module
at a given point in time, not the transitions. For the latter
(and given that you've tagged the states in the first place), use
"cvs diff -rtag1 -rtag2".

Here's my first solution: $ cvs checkout -r C f1 f2 f3 ... $ cvs checkout -r B f1 f2 f3 ... $ cvs checkout -r A f1 f2 f3 ... Where the first checkout gets the files with tag C. The second checkout replaces any file that has a B tag (and leaves behind any file that should be deleted as-of B I think). The third command overlays all the files tagged with A. While this approach is "wasteful" in that it can fetch 3 different versions of the same file, it meets your criteria for not having to think very hard to make it work right. A scripted approach, which would be more efficient is to collect the list of files and revisions first, and then get only the "good" ones. $ cvs -n checkout -r C<<-- returns the list that has tag C. $ cvs -n checkout -r B<<-- returns the list that has tag B. $ cvs -n checkout -r A<<-- returns the list that has tag A.
