Email on 'update' and common file 'add'
Hi! Is there any way in which I can send 'cvs update' messages to users of a development team? I am working on a Red Hat 8.0 cvs-1.11.5-perm1 CVS server and the clients are WinCVS 1.3b10. The requirement is that the development team wishes to be informed whenever a developer updates his/her files. For commits an email can be generated using the loginfo script, but what about the email when a user updates his local copy with the repository copy. Is there a way for doing this also? Also, when the user does a 'cvs add' is there a way of knowing whether the user has not added a file which might be already existing in the repository in another module.

Check with ls aname? or better ls -d aname? if it is a directory, if you really only match the one you want.

CVS-question
I am sorry if this is a newbie question and easy to answer, but I don't get it.. I need help and I hope you can help me out. I have done a cvs co -r revision number modulenname of one of our modules.

I then do a cvs co filename and get following error message: cvs checkout: warning: new-born filename has disappeared Why is this and is this approach wrong?

Repository failover
I'm looking for gotchas and best practices in implementing a failover repository for CVS. The idea would be to use rsync or something similar to copy the contents of a repository to a failover server with the cvspserver entry disabled in /etc/xinetd.d (RedHat 7.3 servers). In the case of failure of the primary server, the cvspserver entry would be enabled on the failover server to allow access to the copy of the repository. Obviously, this would not prevent local clients on the failover server from potentially modifying the copy but such changes would be overwritten on a subsequent rsync anyway. Does this sound reasonable? Any potential problems? Mark Chojnacki [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Updating local working directory
Iqbal Shaikh [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: We have a querry regarding checking out of files, When we checkout files on our local working directory, the files are cheked out with the date on the day that you check out ( but not with the date that the files were actually last edited). A 'cvs log' command reports times in UTC (aka GMT). The timestamp of the file in your local working directory will be in local time which is likely to be different unless you are in the GMT timezone. On most unix boxes, you can make your current shell inherit the UTC timezone to do comparisons with the times reported by the 'cvs log' command. For example: bash$ cvs log -N -r1.12 cvs_2.html RCS file: /cvs/www/www/docs/manual/cvs_2.html,v Working file: cvs_2.html head: 1.12 branch: locks: strict access list: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 15;selected revisions: 1 description: revision 1.12 date: 2002/12/28 01:25:42; author: dprice; state: Exp; lines: +490 -280 * index.html: Tidy.

Is there a way to update your local working directory with the dates that the files were actually modified on. No, the biggest consumer of cvs sources are software developers that use 'make' and 'make' wants to know when you have modified a file in your current sandbox so that it may properly regenerate the objects derived (like .o files and fully linked executables) from the source. For this reason, 'cvs update' will choose to give the current file in the repository the timestamp of the time in which the local file is modified.

Unfortunately, one directory of files was missed during the initial import and later added via cvs commit. Subsequent imports of vendor snapshots are not importing newer versions of these files.

How can I tell CVS to put the latest versions of these files on the vendor branch and not treat them as locally modified files? You should probably re-build that directory by cleaning it out and starting over. Save the existing ,v files and use those to re-construct the local changes (i.e. you will extract and apply the diffs to each file for each local change re-commit after every iteration, using the original log message). If possible, I would like to do this without re-importing the latest vendor snapshot again. You only have to re-import that one directory, though you should separately cvs import all the vendor releases of that one directory, interleaving each with any re-commits of the local changes (assuming there was more than one import done prior to trying to import this latest vendor release). You could automate the process with a well planned script, but if there are only a few local changes to the missing files then it's probably a lot faster and just as reliable to just to it all by hand and be done with it. It would be safest to make sure there are no active working directories anywhere for this module for the duration of this fix-up work. I.e. get everyone to commit or store privately any pending changes and to release all their working directories for this module and especially for the directory in question. -- Greg A.

You could write a script that ignores everything other than the text between symbolic names: and keyword substitution: ( if any ), and pipe cvs rlog to that, if this is going to be something you do often, and not just a one-time sweep ( in which case you may as well just wade through the output ).

Thanks in advanced. Sorry for the crosspost, but I know some of you FreeBSD developers do this all the time. Note the naming scheme ... wink wink. Okay fine, so I couldn't resit the developer like apache cvs tags :) say I have branches: RELENG_1(stable/prod), RELENG_2(release/qa), HEAD(current/devel) branch point tags:RELENG_1_BP, RELENG_2_BP tags: p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE1, p6_RELENG_1_0_PRE2, RELENG_1_0, RELENG_1_1_PRE1 p6_RELENG_1_1, RELENG_2_0 eventually equivalents for RELENG_3 will be created from HEAD and support for RELENG_1 dropped. now say my respository has 4 files file1.pm file2.pm dir2/file3.pm dir1/file4.pm I change the last 3 on HEAD. Now a week later I want to MFC these changes and only these changes from HEAD to RELENG_2 branch. One of the big problems I have here is say that during the previously mentioned week, I change file1.pm and dir/file4.pm. I only want the initial changes MFC'ed as I have not had a burn in period long enough to move the back from the devel branch (HEAD) to our qa branch(RELENG_2). I think I have to add more tags to the tree to do this, but I am not sure. Please don't confuse this with wanting to merge branches into the trunk. That I know how do and it is not what I want.
