Expected behavior is for CVS to remove files that are under its control that do not contain the specified tag, but the original message said that it removed things not yet in cvs, which it should never do. And I'm reasonably certain that it doesn't, so the original poster must be mistaken or described it incorrectly. -Larry Jones You are of course, correct. I missed the things not yet in cvs part. For penitence I submit the following script for use in verification on the troubled user's system. I executed with with Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.16 (client/server) and got the following results. It does as Larry indicates, b.txt still exists at the end, and it also does what I thought I was indicating (cvs controlled files that are not tagged are removed from the sandbox), i.e., the testdir/CVSROOT/ dir and files are not in the sandbox at the end. cd /tmp/ mkdir junktest cd junktest/ export CVSROOT=/tmp/junktest/Repo mkdir Repo cvs init cvs checkout -d testdir . cd testdir/ ls -l a.txt cvs add a.txt cvs commit -m commitmsg ls -ltrh a.txt cvs commit -m commitmsg ls -ltrh b.txt cvs tag PROD a.txt cvs update -r PROD ls -ltrh cvs update -r PROD -P -d ls -ltrh -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Modif timestamps of files in CVS repository
Hello, I have some dirty admin hacks to do on CVS repository files (*,v). I wonder if there is any risk or incidence to change the file timestamps.

Is there a specific reason you want to rewrite history? I'd be concerned about what would happen if you changed the timestamps such that an earlier revision number has a later date than a later revision number, i.e.: rev 1.1: January 6, 2005 rev 1.2: December 31, 2004 I suspect that might confuse CVS somewhat. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.

Yes, but it was not the sense of my question. First of all, why? Is there a specific reason you want to rewrite history?

This is because the old date format with 2 digits for the year crashes viewCVS, while it is ok if the year is written with 4 digits. My question was about the timestamp of the file itself, not the one within the file. Because doing the hack above changes the modification date of all the files, even those that has not changed since ages. I wondered if CVS uses this information (file timestamp), or if it only relies on the date information present within the files. Sorry not to have been clear enough.

I'm wondering if it might be easier to modify viewCVS to handle 2 digit dates safely. I wondered if CVS uses this information (file timestamp), or if it only relies on the date information present within the files. I doubt that CVS uses the timestamp - there are operations that can change the timestamp of the file, without disturbing any revision information: adding/moving/removing tags, many of the 'cvs admin' commands, and so on. I would suspect you're probably safe (of course, apply the usual caveats about backups, being very careful, etc.). Have a look in the contrib directory - who knows, there may be a script already written to perform this conversion for you. This was probably a big issue for the Y2K panic (wow - that was over five years ago already!). -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.

This is because the old date format with 2 digits for the year crashes viewCVS, while it is ok if the year is written with 4 digits. That is an exceedingly bad idea. It's not a question of old format versus new format -- the RCS file format explicitly requires 2 digits for years 1900 through 1999 and all digits for subsequent years (it does not support years prior to 1900). My question was about the timestamp of the file itself, not the one within the file. Because doing the hack above changes the modification date of all the files, even those that has not changed since ages. CVS doesn't care about the RCS file's timestamp. -Larry Jones That's one of the remarkable things about life.
