Repository on WinXP client on WinXP and Linux
Anybody has any experience with such a setup? I have a dual boot laptop that I use for developing code, and I have experimented with CVS for some time on WinXP and on Linux, but with repositories on WinXP and on Linux respectively. I would like to use one single repository regardless of whether I boot WinXP or Linux. Is that possible, or feasible at all?

Re: Idea for reducing disk IO on tagging operations
Hello, sorry for the late reply to this, but I was on vacation. Anything, I believe I might be able to contribute something to this discussion, which even resulted in some code. * On Sun, Mar 20, 2005 at 11:54:32PM + Dr. David Alan Gilbert wrote: OK, my conscience will let me carefully ignore NFS issues given the pain it causes me elsewhere (and I make my mechanism switchable). What happens if I only used the overwrite mechanism if none of the characters being modified crossed a 512 (e.g.) byte boundary offset in the file? Since the spaces were actually written in a previous operation we can assume that the space is allocated and no allocation operation is going to happen at this point (mumble filesystem journalling mumble!). IMHO, here, you are not correct. If I write X times a char Y into a file, I cannot assume that memory for X characters has been allocated. The file system can do some optimizations, compress the file (for example, run-length encoding RLE: First character tells that X times the same character will be written, and the character itself is written afterwards), or anything else. Furthermore, think of so-called sparse-files, which can be rather big - much bigger than your actual medium is itself. Because of this, even a block boundary in the file does not make much sense, IMHO, for the general case, that is, arbitrary file systems. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.

Reg: Basic CVS commands
Hello All, I am a technical writer and I am asked to version control my documents and also take care of release activities. I am going through the documentation set from CVS, but still expect a few pointers. The procedures/tasks that I am held responsible are: 1. Maintain separate CVS area for software (software hierarchy) and documentation (doc hierarchy) 2.At the time of every release, every team will give all of these files in a directory. I need to write a script import to check these files in the CVS area with release number as the tag. 3. I need to write a script build that will compile files as needed, check-in the outputs with the same tag. 4. I need to write a script release that will then check out read only, files with specific tag and locate them in the release area. Now MY queries: Please correct me if I am wrong. 1. I am using cvs import software tag from the respective respositories -software,documentation. Here software team is using a JAVA cvs, but I am using commandline cvs--Will there be any conflict, because I need to maintain their tags while importing. 2.I check out these imported files and assign tags to them using cvs tag release_1_0_1 software 3.Once I assign the tag, I will check out these files to the release area using cvs checkout. Please clarify me. Also, if some one has come across similar build process, please guide me with a better process.

Re: delete an from local CVS/Entries file
Ok. That way you will only have to keep track of all the files you don't want tagged as well as all the corrisponding CVS/Entries files you are modifying. Sorry for the sarcasm. But you still need to keep track of a list of files and editing CVS/Entries sounds a bit dangerous. I'd be inclined to let cvs do the work. What are your reasons for wanting to exclude these files? And how often will the process need to be reproduced? Basically, what is the big picture? --Russ On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:08:22 +0530, Antony Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the reply.

Re: cvs editors funny
No, it's not. But in your last message you seemed rather upbeat about finding the path of the workspace having been squirreled away. I'm just pointing out that you can't hope for a solution to this problem unless the workspace and repository can both agree on an identity for the workspace. Comparing the present working directory of the client with a stored workspace path will likely not satisfy this requirement. Storing the present working directory of the client in the workspace at the time it was created, and using that stored value, would satisfy the requirement.

RE: Remote repository permissions best practices
I had suggested one group per project, but that has its own set of difficulties: - Each user has a default group that is used to set permissions on new files (I know there's supposed to be a way to configure the O/S to inherit permissions from the parent, but our sysadmin either hasn't figured it out or is too busy to correct the problem). It's the set group id on the directory (chmod g+s dirname). - Each full-time user would now have to be made a member of each project group - quite a manually-intensive, error-prone chore. Yes this is a problem, especially if you use NIS, then you get into the 16 groups only limitation of NIS. One thing that has helped us a bit is that the guy who implemented CVS here had the good idea of using ACL's. So we can have one (or several) group that have read only permission to a repository, and another (or several) group that has read/write permission to that same repository. Yves.

Re: delete an from local CVS/Entries file
I work on a maintenance project. There will be more than one task delivered at one time. The onsite guy will checkout the files by task, and test. If a task is OK then the working copy is tagged by task number. If any of the task is not working and it is a new file that has to be deleted in order to not tag this with other tasks. That task may be left untouched for several days till it is fixed and new tasks may be delivered in between. So it is difficult to document and exclude these files over a period of time. It will be nice if I could give a script to delete the files.
