Re: Problems with viewing diffs on RB/windows
Sorry for the delay. I've been unavailable. Looks like "cvs.exe" isn't in the path available to the Apache user. We need the actual cvs binary to run for our checkouts. You're right in that Review Board is more targetted toward Linux installs. We support Windows as best we can, but we depend on a lot of third-party components that are geared toward Linux and not really tested or even available on Windows. We've also seen that installs on Linux tend to be easier and more reliable than some of the Windows installs we've seen. In the future, I would like to be able to better support Windows (such as installing everything through an actual installer, making it easy to get going), but I think a lot of this would have to come from volunteers.

Problems with viewing diffs on RB/windows
>From what I'm gathering, Review Board is really more targeted towards Linux distros than Windows. However, I did eventually get everything working on Apache 2.2 with mod_python and Python 2.5 and MySql. The app comes up and I added a CVS repository. Path I specified is something like :pserver:geye...@cvs.hostname.com:/home/cvs/repo. When I try to view the diff I upload, I get the following: File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\ReviewBoard-1.0rc2.1-py2.5.egg \reviewboard\scmtools\cvs.py", line 166, in cat_file close_fds=(os.name != 'nt')) File "C:\Python25\Lib\subprocess.py", line 594, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "C:\Python25\Lib\subprocess.py", line 822, in _execute_child startupinfo) WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified Am I missing something? I'm guessing maybe I need a cvs client installed, similar to the Linux instructions? If so, which ones are compatible, and how do I specify which for Review Board to use? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "reviewboard" group.
