update -C fails
Hi, When I do: $ cvs -z9 -q update -P -C I get the following error message: cvs server: invalid option -- C Usage: cvs server [-APdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev|-D date] [-j rev] [-I ign] [-W spec] [files...] -A Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts. -P Prune empty directories. -d Build directories, like checkout does. -f Force a head revision match if tag/date not found. -l Local directory only, no recursion. -R Process directories recursively. -p Send updates to standard output (avoids stickiness). -k kopt Use RCS kopt -k option on checkout. -r rev Update using specified revision/tag (is sticky). -D date Set date to update from (is sticky). -j rev Merge in changes made between current revision and rev. -I ign More files to ignore (! to reset). -W spec Wrappers specification line. Could this be that the cvs server is so old that the -C option doesn't exist? (This is the sources.redhat.com CVS server...)

Resolving conflict.
Hi, I have a read-only access to a cvs server.

cvs diff -N doesn't work (at all)
Hi, I'm not the first person reporting this problem but my problem is slightly different. Other reports say that cvs diff -N generate bad diff files but for me it doesn't generate diff at all for the new-file. Example: I've a local repository of the cvs.cvshome.org, in that repository i create a new file (named newfile) with some crap inside. Then I run cvs diff -N: $ cvs diff -N ? newfile cvs server: Diffing . Index: FAQ === (etc...) And no trace of my newfile in the diffs. If I insist: $ cvs -t diff -N newfile cvs diff: notice: main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home2/cvsroot - Sending file `newfile' to server cvs server: I know nothing about newfile (grr... stupid server) Thanks -- Fabrice Gautier [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Bugs not fixed in 1.10.3 and cygwin compilation
Hi, I'm using the WinCVS versino of cvs that seems based on cvs 1.10.5. and I encountered a bug that according to http://www.cvshome.org/docs/knownbugs2.html should have been fixed in cvs 1.10.3 : "cvs diff", if it is displaying differences for a file in a subdirectory, will now include the subdirectory name (checked in 1998- 09-24). This bug doesn't appear on cvs 1.10.7.for linux. So I tried to recompile a more recent version. I tried both 1.10.8 and 1.10.7. I'm using cygwin and gnu compilation tools so I did ./configure make make install The compilation works fine but unfortunately, for each CVS command i tried i get the error message: $ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home2/cvsroot login (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: could not open //.cvspass: No such file or directory I tried to create a .cvspass file but that doesn't worked. Is this because I didn't use MS Visual C++ to compile? (That would be a shame...) If yes, does anybody have a prebuilt cvs binary for windows without the nasty bug? If not, what's the solution ?

Re: Cvs diff with multiples files in multiples directories
--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Guus Leeuw) wrote: -Original Message- From: Fabrice Gautier [mailto:gautier@e...] cvs -q diff -u -r mypatch.txt You should read the Cederqvist manual. Try the command rdiff and you probably want to forget about the -u option (unidiff, which is not supported by old patch programs). Well, I've read it quite a bitespecially where there was diff or rdiff mentionned. And rdiff always ask me for a module name and a revision number when I just want a diff between a file in my working directory and a the remote one it is based on. A bit of Cederqvist readings about rdiff: "Like the diff command, except it operates directly in the repository" Well, you got it... But anyway, the problem is a bug corrected in cvs 1.10.3 And reading Cederqvist didn't help to know why when you use a 1.10.5 client you still see the bug - the obvious answer I didn't figured out was that the bug is in the server, and Cderqvist doesn't give a clue about the diff being processed by the server (even on the working file) How and still another question I didn't see the answer in the Cederqvist is how I produce a patch with a new file (ie: a file present in the working copy but not the repository). May be it's another bug of the cvs server, but -N doesn't work. So If you have the page in the Cederqvist where there is an answer:- To be more general I don't think the Cederqvist handle the situation of people who have only read access to the repository (at least the free chapters).

Cvs diff with multiples files in multiples directories
Hi, I'm working on a CVS source tree where I only have read-only access. So when I do some change I try to produce a patch that could be easily applied. I have a subtree that looks like kernel \---current \---src \---include And I have a modified source(kapi.cxx) and an include (kapi.h) file in src and include In the module directory I type: cvs -q diff -u -r mypatch.txt And the ouput is like this: Index: current/include/kapi.h === RCS file: /cvs/ecos/ecos/packages/kernel/current/include/kapi.h,v retrieving revision 1.9 diff -u -r1.9 kapi.h --- kapi.h 2000/08/25 17:33:31 1.9 +++ kapi.h 2000/09/15 00:42:19 @@ -186,6 +186,15 @@ [ diff output ... ] Index: current/src/common/kapi.cxx === RCS file: /cvs/ecos/ecos/packages/kernel/current/src/common/kapi.cxx,v retrieving revision 1.12 diff -u -r1.12 kapi.cxx --- kapi.cxx2000/08/25 17:33:31 1.12 +++ kapi.cxx2000/09/15 00:42:19 @@ -277,6 +277,10 @@ [ diff output ... ] This seems correct except this: --- kapi.cxx2000/08/25 17:33:31 1.12 +++ kapi.cxx2000/09/15 00:42:19 It should be the full name, like in the Index just above.
