(well, I read 3.14, bit it seems to be the most of the change isn't it?) I figured most of that out with hep of monotone help cvs_pull/push, but I have a doubt: what is the quickest way to update a cvs_pull? It seems to me to always do a full fetch of remote CVS, even if using an existing preivously imported branch... or at least it takes almost the same time the first time and the second. Am i Missing something? I tried using --since on the second run but I got two heads with that. (and see also the wiki for some speedup tips) Are there any other pages except this one? http://venge.net/monotone/wiki/CvsSyncHints (if they are, I didn't find them...) Try it. I works for me. I find it a bit too slow (20 minutes to update with cvs_pull a 9 MiB CVSROOT available locally), but I hope to have misunderstood something and used it sub-optimally 0=) And... yes, I know I probably don't need full history, but I would really really like to live with it (in case in the future I have the option to abandon the CVS side, I like the monotone side to already have all the versions).

I'm talking about a platform without fork and where newline conversion is the default (MinGW). Though Cygwin can create Win32 (MinGW) executables. You're perfectly right... [I didn't think about it because you're right] to the extent, in fact, that even when THERE IS a program available for raw Win32, I usually prefer to use the one available through CygWin (or compile it myself) (at least I don't have to switch a simple nano ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf with a complex regedit32.exe session ^_^) Anyway, even if cygwin does its best, some win32 peculiarities aer very difficult to avoid (e.g. fork and pipes are way slower in cygwin, as they need to be emulated from scratch, kinda...). Actually the biggest problem in compiling monotone for cygwin seems to be the lack of Boost::test in cygwin's port of Boost.

BTW: as I have decided that monotone is the VCS for me I intend to contribute to it, specifically in the OS I use: FreeBSD and Cygwin. Problem is that I'm in the finishing stages of writing my thesis, so I cannot do it now (but I hope to finish in a month or a little bit more, at most... hope ;-)). But FWIW I think I will definitely help here (for my own interest: I've got lots of personal CVS files to migrate and some other I cannot force other to convert, so cvssync seems to really be the feature I'd need). - -- L a p o L u c h i n i l a p o @ l a p o . i t w w w . l a p o . i t / -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkMvBlsACgkQaJiCLMjyUvtQPgCbBb/IhR/UqdCxPczo0Bh0n4J1 Q7EAn2oMptfZF8HTYzWm/OOKrmw5xOl3 =TIsd -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
