If you have rsh/ssh access to a CVS repository then you do in fact need write access just to generate diffs. It is one of the annoyances of CVS but it doesn't really matter for Postgres where we use pserver anonymous access. Personally I find CVS so terribly slow for large trees like Postgres that it's essential to use rsync to maintain a local CVS repository. That makes 'cvs diff' remarkably fast. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

If you have rsh/ssh access to a CVS repository then you do in fact need write access just to generate diffs. It is one of the annoyances of CVS but it doesn't really matter for Postgres where we use pserver anonymous access. You need write-access to add files, even on anonymouse server. We often get patches with new files as separate attachments because of that.

Yeah, I've done that for a long time. It's by far the best way to work with CVS, "cvs add" works, and you can do diffs, checkouts etc. offline. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

Oh quite right. I had forgotten but that was the original reason I switched to using rsync. The alternative is to manually edit the Entries files to list the new files. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Having recently tried to get this to work right and not quite nailed it down yet, I know it would be a help to new developers if someone using this technique would write out a suggested setup/workflow for generating patches this way. Right now the best instructions out there are those that go with the buildfarm http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/140/4/PGBuildFarm-HOWTO.txt and those aren't quite focused right if the goal is to work on new patches while keeping in sync with the repository. -- * Greg Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate

If you do "cvs diff > file" it spits out all the cvs file statuses to the terminal but dumps the diff to the file. It doesn't matter, diffs can contain arbitrary junk between the file diffs. patch only looks at the things it recognizes. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
