What I've done in this scenario in the past is to create an "integration" branch. NOT a QA branch, but one which the developers only are allowed to merge to, just to check the viability of their changes. A cruisecontrol system runs a continuous build on the integration branch, to do both of 1)

Why 'cvs diff -r HEAD' always exits with 1 ?

2005-02-21 Thread Chen(陈) Jun(军)
I recently found a problem with cvs using; 'cvs diff -r HEAD' for a module always exits with 1 (checked by 'echo $?'), even if I start in a empty local directory and do a 'cvs checkout'. By the way, 'cvs diff' for that problem module exits with 0, which is normal. I'm afraid whether it

Hi, I have a point that confuses me about branches usage. We have developpers that want to isolate themselves from the trunk, by creating a branch. After that, the code needs to go to QA. This is where i'm confused: how can we make that code go to QA? If we merge the code from the branch to the

Well, I've searched the archives and FAQ as best I can and while I have seen threads similar to the information for which I'm looking, I did not see exactly this... I've used CVS over the last year to my own satisfaction...no expert but useful to me. Our organization now has a new project on th

Hi all, I am trying to correct an error that was made with our cvs repository a while back. We have what we consider to be our "main branch", which has been tagged with the sticky tag R1-0. Most of the files with that sticky tag have a working version number in the form 1.1.2.x. However we have a

I'm not really answering your question as I have not done any kind of timing analysis on the various storage methods. However, I have seen other systems that use the following methods. Based on their algorithms, one would expect these to be listed in order of decreasing speed for arbitrary ve

I'm not sure of the speeds, but it's a two-edged sword. Keeping full copies of everything bloats the database requirements for CVS, making the disk space an issue. And I couldn't say whether not using the "diff" to create deltas to keep instead would be faster or slower than checking in a full c
