RE: Use cvs in a script
sending the script to the list would help us debug it for you... I set up a script on a Solaris box with no problems though I'm leaving the interaction for login active...I would guess that if you login from the command prompt and then not have a login in the script that the "other" cvs commands will look for your .cvspass file in your home directory and not have to 'login'... Never tried it but in my mind it should work GaRy -Original Message- From: Thorsten Sturm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 4:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Use cvs in a script Hi everyone, I'm new to this mailing-list so please be patient if this question has already been answered. I'm trying to use cvs from within a shell script on linux machine. As long as I'm using my local cvs repository everything works out fine. But when I try to switch to a remote repository problems arise. I use the -d flag to specify the remote repository, but I can't login to that one. Just to be sure I setted it up correctly, I tried to login from the command line and it works. But using my script fails. There is nothing special within the scipt before the login call. Can anybody help? By the way, is there a way to specify the password for cvs login in advance, so that there is no interaction within the script? Thanks Thorsten
RE: Cvswebedit needs to be made GPL/open source. Any volunteers?
I'd like to volunteer to help but since I'm in the process of changing jobs I don't have time to manage the project... If someone does offer to manage it I'd like to help out and contrib some work... Just out of curiosity, if someone takes over project management couldn't we use sourceforge or something similar and just GPL the project or do you truly want to hand it off to gnu.org???

Any volunteers? Hi Shaun, The latest version is over a year ago, on www.mrjc.com There is no latest version and unfortunately, due mainly to work pressures,my commitment to cvswebedit has tailed off. I regret to say that I have not even made time to incorporate a set of changes Erik Östhols kindly contributed on Jan 17th. (see http://www.egroups.com/message/cvswebedit/16?start=1) Now - what I would like is someone to volunteer to manage the process of passing cvswebedit over to the GPL and its incorporation as a piece of software managed by their processes. I guess this sort of handover is a very common request for GNU, however my attempt at finding a simple form to fill in on their site (www.gnu.org) was unsuccessful. I am wanting to hand cvswebedit over to GNU in the hope that by doing so this makes it easier for others to contribute their patches to the code. This contribution process could be performed using either an installable CVS client (such as WinCVS, command line CVS or TkCVS) or using a web client (such as cvswebedit). I find it so strange, that cvswebedit suffers from not being collaboratively maintained. After all, it is precisely this task that it was designed to help with! So then, any volunteers? I'll be honest upfront: Right now I can personally commit very little at the moment as I have averaged a 65 hour week for the last 2 months. Furthermore, I expect this situation to continue until Mid August. Ideally a volunteer for this must have time, know their way around the GNU processes, and have a good knowledge of CVS, Perl and cvswebedit. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help right now.

Re: How to acquire a pserver named lock with CVS ?
couldn't you write a 'lock' file into the cvsroot of the repository and then
delete it when the script ends... That way when the script runs it checks
for the lock file first... if it's there it means the script is already
running (unless it dies last time before it deleted the lock)...

Hi,
We're using CVS in pserver mode.
We're using tags for our release mechanism.
Before tagging a file, I have written a script
that checks that there is not a more recent version
of that file already with that tag in the repository.
However, my script is not atomic.
If two person try to run it together, the check
for a more recent version will take too much time,
specially as the users tag a whole directory.
How can I acquire a named lock in the CVS repository ?
I'd like to have only one user at a time able to run
this script for release "Rel_3".
So, I could border my script by:
getlock ("Rel_3");
verify ();
tag ();
leavelock ("Rel_3");
Thanks,

SourceForge and Pserver how?
Hey, does anyone know how sourceforge has the pservers set up?? By this I mean is it one cvsroot per project or one giant cvsroot??? If it's one per project do they add a new cvsroot to the inetd.conf file everytime there is a new project and reload inetd??? I also noticed they use ssh to access checkin/checkout..Is ssh the best way (security and usage wise) to access the server remotely??? Do they add a new login id for every developer to the server?? Any ideas??? Thanks GaRy -- Gary Pinkham Reasoning, Inc. One New England Executive Park Burlington, MA 01803Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I like that solution. (We already have 'cvs rm', after all...)
This question comes back again and again simply because it is so very
natural and obvious to try to walk the tree in the repository that I think
everybody is shocked when they discover for the first time that is't not
available in CVS.
I sure was. For that matter, I still am.
On the one hand, I can see the security (albeit purely by obscurity) factor
in not allowing people to find out about projects other than by being
explicitly told about them (either by direct contact ("Hey, Joe - grab the
doc project!") or by putting them in CVSROOT/modules). On the other hand,
though, there's the nuisance factor of having to do the telling.

It is documented within the distribution. Not the best, but it is there. You may be able to "snarf" parts of the code to do that api from within the CVS code. Also, you don't NEED to run the CVS server via inetd. There are other ways of invoking the server such that STDIN/STDOUT are connected to the client in the right way.
