Pb with module deletion
Hello, I'm using a sourceforge account and I'm learning CVS at the same time. My problem stays in deletion of directories in the CVSROOT directory. In my case cvsroot is cvs.somewhere.else:/cvsroot/myrepository. I have now there the following directories : speedshooter (the good one) speeshooter (a bad one) ... (other bad ones) when I use the "cvs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/myrepository co .", The server send me the emptied directories I just talk about previously. Sure I can make a "cvs update -P" to get rid off this dirs. By the way, although it is clear for me, It'll may be not for the other developpers I'm working with. Please, can you give a solution to destroy definitively this directories, or better reinitialize my repository (hoping my access rights are ok to do this). Thanks in advance, excuse me for my poor english (I'm french, that may be the reason my mistakes :-) ). Good bye.

Cvs implementation example.
Hi, I have to implement a cvs for a multiple developers environment. I have installed it without problems and I've tested the major functionalities and it seems working fine. It's my first time on this kind of versioning system and I don't know the good practice in term of sources organization for a project. For example, I'm asking if we have to create a repository for each project or create only one repository and under it, create one module for each project. Maybe somebody can tell me what are the good practices or where I could found examples or typical and practical implementation of cvs in multiple developers environment. Thank in advance for your help. Denis JULIEN ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Removing file with Wincvs not running?!
Hi, I'm using WinCvs connected to a pserver cvs running on RH 8.0. I am not able to remove file from a module when I use the WinCvs GUI (remove selected file menu) , it displays an error message saying that the file is tagged and that it cannot to be removed. Nevertheless I can remove it directly working on the cvs server. Any idea on this behavior?

Re: branch and version
If you mean 'I would like to replace a specific revision of a file', no :) The correct way is to tag when you're freezing, and to create a new (stable) branch if you need to make modifications. -- Julien Wajsberg Hi, we're sharing the same branch among the developers and after each deploy we're freezing a stable version.

Re: Script for a CVS only shell available?
Another simple way is to use some features of SSH and the authorized_keys file. You can use the « command=command » option of this file (see man 8 sshd for more information) man's extract: command=command Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for authentication. The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. Hope this helps :) -- Julien --- Answer to Mark D.

Mark D. Baushke wrote: Julien Wajsberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just saw that 'verifymsg' is processed before 'importinfo' with your patch. I don't think it is the correct behaviour :) I suggest that you should not depend on the ordering of the verifymsg as compared to the importinfo or commitinfo. I don't depend of the order. It just happens in our setup that verifymsg takes longer than other hooks. In client/server mode, verifymsg is processed first. In local mode, verifymsg is usually called after the commitinfo has been called. My understanding was that commitinfo/taginfo always occurs before verifymsg. It seems I was wrong... It is just as reasonable to reject a commit due to a bad log message as it is to reject it because a file is being committed does not pass some commitinfo check. Yes I agree with that. How about modifying this ? I believe it would be a waste of time. There is still an 'enhancement' request http://ccvs.cvshome.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=27 to have the verifymsg processed only once rather than for each directory... Somewhere before the call to do_verify ? I'd suggest that this is not a useful distraction for RSE right now. If there is no advantage at doing that, surely it is a waste of time. But if it adds coherence, why don't you want to add this feature in the good way at the first time ? Moreover, it could help (later) if you want to modify the code in order not to show an editor if commitinfo is failing, for example (just a thought). -- Julien PS: sorry Mark, I hit the wrong reply button at first... ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Newbie: problems adding directory to repository
You have to use cvs update -dP on your server sandbox to create new directories and delete empty one in a workign directory. For your other problem I don't know sorry :) -- Julien I've recently started using CVS to help manage a programming project that I, and I alone, am working on, at least for now. I'm having a problem and couldn't find a solution in the docs or in the archives. My setup is that I have my CVS repository on my working server, and then a sandbox on my working server from which a build script puts things where they're supposed to go. Then on my development server, I again have a sandbox and a build script. I've been working by making changes in the sandbox on the dev sever, and when they're ready, committing them to the repository, updating the working server's sandbox, and building it out. There was a point at which I was making a lot of changes to my dev sandbox, but didn't have access to the repository so couldn't commit anything. When I got back to it, I found that I couldn't get some things to match up. The basic problem is that I had taken a specific program, and directory, called Book.pm and Book/ and then generalized it and renamed them to MyDatabase.pm and MyDatabase/ . In my dev sandbox, I have this directory called MyDatabase/ and there are a bunch of programs underneath it that used to be in Book/ . But I can't seem to get this directory onto the working server. When I go to the working sandbox and type cvs update, it doesn't create MyDirectory/ or anything underneath it; it's the same when I deleted the entire sandbox and did a cvs checkout from scratch. Yet in the development sandbox, it certainly thinks it's there-- when I type cvs add MyDatabase/ or cvs add [any of the programs under MyDatabase/] I get messages like there is a version in MyDatabase already or SearchView.pm already exists, with version number 1.3. What do I need to do to get these files out of CVS and into the sandbox on the working server? Thanks very much. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

about log and rdiff commands
Hi, I'm experimenting a little with the log command, and I found a strange behaviour. When using cvs log -rHEAD, I successfully get the log messages for the trunk. But wit cvs log -rHEAD., (with a dot) which should give me the log message for the last revisions on the trunk, I just get: cvs server: warning: no branch `HEAD' in `/cvs/module/myfile.c,v' I found however that cvs log -r. gives me what I want, bu it's somewhat cofusing :) Another behaviour that I dislike is with the rdiff command, but this time it could maybe not be changed :/ It's with cvs rdiff -s. For a deleted file, we don't get any information, except it has been deleted. I find that it's inconvenient if you want to findm for example, all log messages between an old tag and the moment it was deleted. I however know that a deleted file gets a revision number, and I actually get that with either cvs log -rBRANCH. or cvs log -s dead, but it's not practical to have a special case because of this :( I understand however that it could maybe not be changed...
