Re: CVS Lock Files
In the mean time, I could modify my shell script to do a combo on 'find' : find /cvs/ -name *lock* -ctime? I'll look for any locks older than a certain number of days. However, the problem is that our Builds are automated and at 2 a.m. I'm not here watching them to call or stop the person who caused the problem and if the builds are successful, the tagging must go on. If you are absolutely sure no people are working on the repository at 2am, you could consider removing all locks at 1:55 or even in the same cron script before the build starts. But be aware of the problems when someone eventually decides that 2:00 am is a perfectly sound time to checkin new sources... (taking into account timezone shifts and the like).

Re: CVS-Directories disappear when uploading per SFTP-Client
The problem is the following: the cvs server is at the same time the web server where the application runs. So I have to checkout to the web server. But: My IDE runs locally on my machine and it needs the complete source code to enable it to use code completion etc. Between my local machine and the server there is only a DSL connection so I have the local changes mirrored to the web server (using the SFTP client) and then do the commit from the web server. Any better ideas? Let CVS mirror the changes to the webserver. CVS is perfectly capable of handling multiple copies itself. There are some options you can consider: - Since you have stfp access, I'm assuming you have ssh shell access as well. Go into your webserver's content directory and do a cvs checkout there. Each time you want to update the site, simply perform a cvs update on the webserver. Maybe change the settings of your webserver to ignore/hide the CVS/ directories (apache: modify the .htaccess file) - This can be automated (but DON'T do that on your production site, since every mistake that gets committed to the repository will immediately be seen on the web), see https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC177 (keeping a checked out copy) - If somehow your sftp program/filesystem/ghost in the machine insists on removing the CVS/ directories when you upload, try uploading from another sandbox (so basically you will have two sandboxes on your local pc: one for 'work' and one for 'upload'). The 'upload' copy can be created with cvs export, if you want. Arno -- np: Dead Can Dance - Sanvean ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: branches and merging
That was more response than I had even hoped for. This is a good candidate to become a sticky at my desk somewhere :) Thank you! Arno I haven't done much merging myself lately, but I always believed a branch-to-branch merge needed two states (tags) of the source branch, and the current state of the target branch. Or is both possible? If you are to continue doing branch merges in the future, it is usually desirable to tag the source branch so that you will know where to start the next time you do a merge to the destination branch (for purposes of discussion call this tag the 'merge-point'). Some people find it desirable to create a tag on the destination branch just before doing the merge to facilitate backing out all of the changes should it be determined that the branch was ill done (for purposes of discussion call this tag the 'pre-sync-point'). Some people find it desirable to create a tag on the destination branch just after the merge is complete so that they may be able to compare the tag on the source branch with the post-merge tag to determine the drift between the two branches (for purposes of discussion call this tag the 'post-sync-tag'). My question more clearly: why tag the target branch instead of the source branch? Does it really matter which one you choose? Typically, when one creates a new (child) branch, one will also create a branch-point tag (for purposts of discussion call this tag 'branch-point') on the parent branch. Consider the following work... It is time to create the child-branch from the parent-branch cvs checkout -r parent-branch -d parent module cvs tag child-branch-point cvs tag -b child-branch ... It is time to merge the changes of the parent into the child cvs checkout -r parent-branch -d parent module cd parent cvs tag parent-merge-point-1 cvs checkout -r child-branch -d child module cd child cvs tag child-pre-sync-point cvs update -jchild-branch-point -jparent-merge-point-1 ...resolve conflicts cvs commit cvs tag child-post-sync-point At some later time, if it is desirable to merge the changes of the parent into the child again, one does: cvs checkout -r parent-branch -d parent module cd parent cvs tag parent-merge-point-2 cvs checkout -r child-branch -d child module cd child cvs tag child-pre-sync-point-2 cvs update -jparent-merge-point-1 -jparent-merge-point-2 ...resolve conflicts cvs commit cvs tag child-post-sync-point-2 If at this time it is desirable to move all of the changes developed on the child-branch into the parent-branch, then something like: cvs checkout -r child-branch -d child module cd child cvs tag child-merge-point-1 cvs checkout -r parent-branch -d parent module cd parent cvs tag parent-pre-sync-point-1 cvs update -jchild-merge-point-1 ...the above command is the same as 'cvs update -jchild-branch-point .. -jchild-merge-point-1' ...resolve conflicts... cvs commit cvs tag parent-pst-sync-point-1 In the general case, the pre-* and post-* tags are not necessary.

Re: Arggg, I thought I had cvs worked out but I didn't
I didn't know installing cvs would be this complicated... I was actually looking all over the internet for tutorials on how to install cvs. I found tutorials that show people as root installing and using cvs, but I guess those tutorials are wrong. (See http://www.linux.ie/articles/tutorials/cvs.php) The link above concerns only pserver authentication; it is the only authentication method that requires cvs to be run as root. And, if you search the archives of this list you will find numerous objections to using pserver for read-write access. Btw, installing cvs is not complicated. You have already installed cvs. Configuring might require some more work, depending on your requirements. 3) did cvs init as root (worked) -- So I guess for here, I should create an account called cvs _without_ administrative privileges. Administrative privileges aren't the problem. By default, cvs just assumes user root will never be checking in files (you can have other users with administrative privileges and have them happily use cvs). You don't have to create a user account for cvs. You should do cvs init as the user that is going to use the repository. However, you should make sure that every user that is going to use the repository can access it both read-write. btw, if user 'root' is the user you always log in as, then change that behaviour. There is no need for it. % id ...gid=nn0(name0) groups=nn1(name1),nn2(name2),nn3(name3)... I am definitely unfamiliar with that syntax. I mean, is nn0() a function that takes a c/c++ style char *?

Re: Ignoring whitespace and CR/LF when checking into repository
These make me ask more questions. What is the default line ending character for ASCII files store in a repository ?. Is this varies from OS to OS ?. Does CVS client or server is supposed to perform the line ending character conversion when a ASCII file is committed ? RCS files have unix line endings (regardless of OS, I believe). The CVS client is responsible for the line-ending conversion. Now the root cause of my problem is that when checked in by windows developers using Eclipse it have CR/LF as line ending character and it is stored as it is. Now I want that all files must be stored in Unix format. Eclipse has an option treat all new files as binary which might be causing your problems. cvs does not convert line endings in binary files. The ,v-files in the repository should not have any CR/LF line endings. I got away with using dos2unix -f directly on the respository.

Re: CVS for DOS?
Hello Spiro! Regarding ssh for dos: there is no widely-used tcp/ip stack available for DOS, so such network applications you are very unlikely to find. http://www.wattcp.com is the only one that I know of, but I have never seen a ssh client that uses wattcp. I imagine it would be possible to port cvs to DOS using djgpp (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp), but you would still be stuck at the connectivity level - DOS has no native networking support. There is no real risk in mixing DOS and windows environments (especially up to w98), since they share a common base (filesystem, line endings).

Now, I have the problem that I need access from a MS-DOS machine to a remote CVS repository. Anywhere, using google, I did not find any version of CVS for DOS (nor did I find ssh, which would be needed for remote access, but this is another story). Currently, I checkout the sandbox in Windows and move it to DOS via Windows shares. It works, but it surely violates 1. and 2. Of courses, Windows line endings and DOS line endings are the same, so 1. might not be that big a problem, but 2. is one. Furthermore, it is very error prone. So, I ask you if you know of any DOS version of CVS (binary), or how I could build that? If anyone knows how to find a working ssh client, this would help me, too.

The CVS repository is on a linux server. You mentioned checkout a local copy; is the local copy at the linux server or at the windows PC?

Re: Problem uploading files in cvs repository to ftp server
Can you modify the perl script to first checkout a local copy and then upload the checked-out files? The local (server) copy can afterwards be removed, of course. HTH, Arno - Original Message - From: Anand Graves [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 9:01 PM Subject: Problem uploading files in cvs repository to ftp server I want to upload a file to a ftp server whenever a file is commited. The file loginfo in the direcotry CVSROOT can make this possible. I added a line on the left a regular expression (for a certain directory) and on the right the command to be executed. The command is a perl script that uploads the file(s) to a ftp server. When I looked on the ftp server I noticed that I saw only files with ,v at the end. These are all RCS files, but I only want to upload checked out files (without the ,v). Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Re: Question about RCS files
Hi. I am a CVS newbie and I would like to do/have the following: On the clients I work with: CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvs; LOCAL=/SOMEWHERE/sv; CVS update is done by: cd /SOMEWHERE/sv; cvs -d $CVSROOT update -dP; CVS commit is done by: cd /SOMEWHERE/sv; cvs -d $CVSROOT commit; cvs -d $CVSROOT makes little sense... cvs uses $CVSROOT by default I describe all this because I dunno if you might need this information to answer me the following question: I thought that the CVS-Tree LOCAL and on the SERVER are IDENTICAL (after I did an update). But on the server the files end with ,v and have all the comments and version stuff inside. I now know that these files are the rcs files (the backbone of the cvs?). more or less. Never touch the files in $CVSROOT But I need an exact copy of the version a CLIENT has in its /SOMEWHERE/sv dir on the SERVER (so without the rcs stuff). How can I achieve this? Do I have to to do an cvs-checkout on the server and cvs-update everytime a client did commit something? Or can I say to the server somehow to keep automatically the rcs stuff seperate in one dir and an client-like-copy of the cvs-repository in another dir?

Re: Moving a CVSNT Repository to Linux.
FWIW - Original Message - From: Jim.Hyslop [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 3:38 PM Subject: RE: Moving a CVSNT Repository to Linux. I believe Windows 95 Explorer _may_ have arbitrarily _displayed_ the name in a canonical format (first letter uppercase, followed by all lower-case letters IIRC) but I believe the case of the name was always preserved (a 'dir' command at the command prompt would indicate the correct case). Windows versions 9x had an option to prettify file names that were in 8.3 format. Files in 8.3 format were all caps, and explorer would display them as you RC. There was an option to switch off prettifying (allow filenames in all capitals). All versions should however be case-preserving.

Re: How to compose a new module out of dirs in other modules !
The use of ampersand modules is half the solution. The other half is http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_18.html#SEC162 (or at least that's how I solved it. If there's a nicer/cleaner way, please do tell) You can create aliases for your other dirs, and add a -d flag in the modules file. ModuleNEW newdir1 newdir2 newdir1 -d Test/dir11 moduleSrc/dir1/dir11 etc. One (slightly ugly, though perfectly as-designed) added feature is that cvs allows you to checkout newdir1 also as a separate module. If you're running a cvs server for multiple users, you might want to mark the extra modules with a '_' for example, and ask your users not to check out modules starting with '_' - though there's no harm when they do. hth, Arno np: The Police - Message In A Bottle - Original Message - From: Peter Biechele [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 10:49 AM Subject: How to compose a new module out of dirs in other modules !

Lets assume that the top level repository contains a directory PackA which contains 2 files: afile1 and afile2. The repository also contains another directory at the same level, PackB which contains 1 file, bfile1. I'd like to know if CVS provides a mechanism that will create the following files: PackA/afile1 PackA/afile2 PackA/PackB/bfile1 when executing cvs co PackA. and PackB/bfile1 when executing cvs co PackB. I'd like to keep PackB independent from PackA under CVS, but have it checked out as a subdir of PackA if checking out PackA. Thanks in advance for any information.
