Re: How to change the 'x' bit of a file in CVS?
chmod +x $CVSROOT/path/to/MyFile.file,v cvs remove does not actually remove the file (it gets put in the Attic). When you attempt to re-add it I think it does it just like you are making changes to the file and checking in. The file gets pulled from the Attic and changes are merged in (if any). The original file attributes are not modified as cvs will never change these. Cheers, --Russ ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
How to change the 'x' bit of a file in CVS?
Help! We added a file in our CVS system by mistake with the wrong 'x' flag value. I tried checking in an update with the correct 'x' bit, but this does not work. I tried deleting and adding back in the file, but this does not work either. The Faq says it is preserved. Isn't there any way to change it then?

If you have access to the repository, change the file attribute there to the ,v file. Notice that an cvs up in your sandbox will not set the attribute correctly; for this, you have to remove the file and do a cvs up HTH, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
