Reading from server: error
Hi, I use WinCvs since a fiew years without any problems, but 3 weeks ago y went to New Caledonia with my notebook. Connecting to diffrent cvs servers (sourceforge.net etc...) didn't cause any problems from Noumea, but since I moved to another island in New Caldedonia, with a single Cyber, WinCvs doesn't work anymore. I always get this error message (on different servers): cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: error -1 Internet, mail, telnet, ftp, everything works fine, but not the cvs. I tried with the Mac (MacCvs), it's the same problem. It seams that it is the pserver protocol itself that doesn't work. My connection is made with an ADSL routeur, and I tried also with an ADSL modem. BUT, il I connect myself via the classic analogic telephone, everything is fine... Could anybody give me one idea ? Thanks, Didier ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
CVS taking memory
Hi all, Let me explain the CVS environment here in my company. CVS is running on a linux box, and the version is CVS 1.11.6. I have configured the env in such a way that we use pserver to connect to the server, from our clients which are all Windows2000 boxes. We have users, working for a project, mapped to a single unix user name and which inturn belong to various groups. These groups are used to control folder-wise access. We have as many unix users as we have projects. Each and every project has a corresponding unix user name. All the cvs users working on a project are mapped to that particular unix user. Apart from this we have a webmin server running on port 8500 and an apache running on 80, from the same machine. With all these, we are facing problems with memory on the server. One project takes around 800 MB of memory. We have given 4 GB of RAM for the machine, and 6 GB of swap space. Can any one of you guide me, as to what I can do to monitor this ??? Is there any solution for this ?? there are over 700+ users in our company, who hit the CVS server. Thanx Sandhya. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Retrieving CVS modules information
Dear colleagues, according to cvs man page the command cvs checkout -c lists the modules imported in the CVS (i.e. the contents of the modules file). However, when I invoke it againts my company's repository it returns no modules but there are lots. Does this command requires some special configuration and if so where I can find it?

Re: Reverting a concrete revision
I have made that, and nothing changed at all. Maybe I did not explain myself well. A file with 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 revisions. Generate 1.6 tah contains code from 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5, I mean to NOT include changes made in 1.3 revision Checking out last revision (1.5) and doing cvs update -j 1.3 -j 1.5 that does nothing... What am I doing wrong? Thanks again Rolo [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes [in very long lines]: Using i.e cvs update -j revision 1.6 -j revision 1.3 file.c, we discard changes from 1.6 to 1.3. Then, commiting, we get revision 1.7 that is exactly the same as 1.3. Now, suppose I want to generate a new revision of file.c but containing code from 1.1 to 1.3 + 1.5 and 1.6 revision, because I realise that I don not want the changes made on revision 1.4 but still want all the changes made in 1.5 and 1.6. Doing the previous update, I lost 1.4 changes but also 1.5 and 1.6. So the idea is revert ONLY the changes that were made on 1.4. If the changes of 1.5 and 1.6 are small (or changes of 1.) it can be do it manually but this is not my case. Is there any way to do this in CVS? Of course, just merge those changes back in: cvs up -j1.4 -j1.6 file.c -Larry Jones These findings suggest a logical course of action. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Retrieving CVS modules information
Are you sure there are really modules, that is, there are entries in CVSROOT/modules? I have seen CVS repositories where everything was just organized in the file system. Do you mean that we should describe manually each module in CVSROOT/module? But we currently have more that 50 modules and more are coming? Doesn't CVS automatically tracks when a new module is imported and adds it to this file? Can it be set up to do so? Thank you for your reply. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.

RE: How to create patch for project?
Mak, The rdiff -s argument using two dates or two tags gives you good information. It shows what files have changed, are new, or removed (in attic) with revision numbers. cvs -Q rdiff -s -Dmmdd -Dmmdd module or cvs -Q rdiff -s -rtag1 -rtag2 module (I use version tags that include a date.) Output is in the following format: File weather/docs/index.html changed from revision 1.9 to 1.10 File weather/docs/links.htm is new; ver_20040823 revision 1.4 File weather/docs/alaska.html is removed; ver_20040524 revision 1.9 Processing this with a perl script could cvs export each file to a staging area for transferring to another person. This information gives you a good change list, but it does not show hacking where files were moved, renamed, or deleted. A find statement on the $CVSROOT/module each time you hand off an update would document what is in the repository at the time. find $CVSROOT/module -type f | egrep -v Attic|CVS | sort module_list Keep the snapshot under CVS. I have a module_list snapshot updated and committed automatically (a cron job) whenever a new file is added to our repository by touching an add_flag file the cron job checks for. I actually do a find inside a perl program and then removed the ,v and the $CVSROOT from the path. I also do not restrict it to -type f so I also have the directory names (appending an ending slash to the directory names). The program also commits the updated the file.

Re: Total Heresy: CVS Windows MS Office Docs
You can combine this with a GUI like TortoiseCVS (CVSNT client comes with Tortoise) to even show diff's between word documents (may require some additional software). GUI's like Tortoise do this by getting the two copies that you want to see the differences between from CVSNT and then calling a 3rd program to display the differences. This can be Word (called by COM) or any other tool. Is there something like Emacs's VC but for Word and such? The CS-RCS system provides basically that (it adds an RCS menu to Word where you can commit, diff, checkout, ...), but I'm looking for something using a more recent revision control system, and it should work on MacOSX too. Free Software strongly preferred. Stefan ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: What does this warning mean?
What does this warning mean?Harold, This was asked on the CVSNT group some time ago, I found this answer by Bo Berglund: I asked and was never answered. AFAICT the problem comes up if you check out a module to a shortened path. Say that you have a sandbox and now you want to check out a different module as a subdirectory in it: cvs co -d Charlie Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie This will get you the contents of the Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie folder into a folder with the name Charlie in the current sandbox. This structure seems to make the messages mentioned pop up at various times. I don't have a full analysis on these cases since I just moved on at the time, though CVSNT is the default CVS client that comes with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS.

RE: .dfm files check in as text in CVS leads to any corruption?
Mark, I'm sorry. I've just read the initial post from Paras Jain and he is using both Delphi 5 and Delphi 7, and it is a real problem. I don't know if there is a problem to abandon Delphi 5 and compile everything with Delphi 7. I have experience porting Delphi 4 code to Delphi 6 and we had no problem in doing it. We converted exact 9132 files (including more than 3000 dfm files) in a very short period of time using 9 people working part time on the conversion project. Dispite the conversion being easy, there was not just client/server forms, but also Windows Services, many classes containing very complex business rules and critical mission systems (I work for a brazilian bank and everything is done in Delphi). The most difficult part was COM+ components conversion, but even if he has a lot of COM+ components, I strongly recomend doing it so it will be possible to do parallel work, dfm file merge operations (which is impossible with binary forms), among other things. And, of course, configuration management team will owe him. Alexandre. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark D.
