cvs checkout
Hello, I want to checkout a dir avoiding some unwanted sub-dirs.

Ronald Petty [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Could someone explain the difference between using :ext: (with CVS_RSH=ssh) over using pserver and having tcpwrapper listen on 2401? Why would one do either over the other? Ron With ssh, you are using strong authentication and there is no possibility that someone else will be able to utilize any possible security holes in cvs to spoof being someone else on your server machine. With pserver, your password is kept in a trivially obscured token in a $HOME/.cvspass file and sent over the network in the clear. Once you have connected to the 2401 server which is typically running as root you run the possibility that someone will have found an exploit in cvs to either become root on your server machine or to become someone else on your server machine than was intended. Use your favorite search engine and look for the keywords: cvs pserver security for examples that have arisen in the past and realize that it is possible that other bugs still exist. If the problem is that you need anonymous CVS access, you may wish to look at the following link: Anonymous CVS access via ssh http://www.kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/ I know that a number of folks have already talked about security issues and CVS. I suggest you read the Linux security issues as they pertain to CVS thread that starts here: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-05/msg00935.html if you need/want more background on security.

while I agree with Shankar, that for most situations having the whole
repository tagged is the best method and for your situation I think it is
correct, I have found a use for tagging just some files.
When working with a mess of scripts used for testing a product, I found that I
had several 'engineers debug' scripts which needed controlled and could
eventually be used for THE test, but for each formal test it was decided that
only the scripts called out formally in the test description were to be
available to the testers (this removes the management worry that they are
running the just make it work backdoor scripts).
I found that if I had a file with a list of the filenames (one per line) used
in the formal test I could do a variation on the following (in bash):
BASE_SCRIPTS_DIR=path_to_checked_out_baseline
TAGNAME=My_Formal_tag
tagsome()
{
read INPUTLINE
while [[ $INPUTLINE != EOF ]]
do
#the following should tag each file individually so we only tag those we
#want to.
(cd $BASE_SCRIPTS_DIR/scripts;cvs tag -l $TAGNAME $INPUTLINE)
read INPUTLINE
done
}
tagsome list_of_the_filenames.txt
#the following would retrieve only the files that had the
#tag applied to them.
#I do not know if this is a 'known feature' of cvs, so it
#may change in the future.:)
cvs checkout -r$TAGNAME scripts
Note: how you get list_of_the_filenames.txt is your problem, I had to do
several contortions of `strings ?.doc|grep patterns|awk|perl_script` (Yes you
can program when you are just the CM person :)

Re: new feature.
The general recommended CVS usage model is that the repository be considered a whole entity. Thus, you tag the entire repository the way it should be for a particular release, whether it be a full release, or a partial delta. I *think* you could define a module as having parts of all modules and then tagging that single module would tag everything in the CVS tree... http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC157 C.1.1 Alias modules ... as if the list of names aliases had been specified instead. aliases may contain either other module names or paths. . Extra tags on files cost almost nothing, and by properly maintaining your tags, you can re-generate your deltas trivially using cvs diff -rtag1 -rtag2, which will generate no output for files that have not changed between tag1 and tag2.
