Hi all,
I am using eclipse cvs repository view for downloading the cvs
repository jar files.
Could any one pls tell me how the jar files can be downloaded after
importing them to the cvs repository.
You need to make sure they are of type binary, either when importing
or later with the admin
Heh, I think you misunderstood my second message. I meant that we
wanted to make the change for cosmetic reasons, not that it WAS a
cosmetic change. After reading on how the branches are created, I
understand why you don't want to mess with those. However, I don't
understand what the problem
I've accidentally removed a whole source tree, which contains 500 source code files
(plain text only, no binary).
I searched the web, and found ways to recover files from Attic one by one, namely:
- use cvs admin -o 1.x (deleted file), or
- use cvs update -j 1.x -j 1.y (deleted file)
both
A file with 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 revisions.
Generate 1.6 tah contains code from 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5, I mean to NOT include
changes made in 1.3 revision
Checking out last revision (1.5) and doing cvs update -j 1.3 -j 1.5 that does
nothing...
Use the same command but change the order
It does not work. It does do nothing!.
My idea is generate a new revision but deleting changes made in a very old revision...
Did you check out the file or update to the newest version? What is the
output of cvs when you apply the update command?

This brings up a question I've had for quite a while: is
there a way to close a branch?
The only thing I can think of offhand would be to mark the tip of the branch
as dead, by using 'cvs remove'. It won't prevent anyone from resurrecting
the branch, though.
It defeats version control, but
I run into a strange problem for few days. I can cvs -d :pserver:. login without
failure message but a soon as I send any cvs request I get (for example):
cvs annotate: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs [annotate aborted]: authorization failed: server
I resolved the conflicts the while merging the branch in main trunki but was unable
to commit.
Was getting error of sticky tag. So I run the update -A command. Now I lost all the
conflicts I resolved during the conflict
Is there any way I can undo this update operation as I didn't take the

Looks like you have two files
However, the issue I have is that we have no access to a Unix Server
as we are completely PC based, sharing files on a common group drive,
and it is my understanding that you cannot locate a CVS repository on
a shared windows server. Is that correct ?
This works fine. You only can get issues if
Another thought: Since people or surprised especially on import,
wouldn't it be nice to warn the user whenever a file or directory is
ignored? This way, the user at least is informed that something went
wrong.
That already happens, cvs prints a message for each file with
description. So it looks
thanks but I need to retain branchA and branchB - just overwrite branchB
with code from branchA
Checkout branchB, export branchA, copy all A files to B sandbox, commit.
(And maybe add/remove files first).

I know that the -l was removed from recent versions but I never created or
changed a .cvsrc file. Can I prevent this error except by upgrading the
cvs tools?
Only by not using the global -n and -R flags. They both imply -l but
the 1.12.1 client doesn't differentiate between an explicit -l
Hi
I'm quite sure I just read about this recently but I can't find a mail mentioning
it again.
We just set up a new repository and tried to work with it. Goes fine except
some errors I couldn't resolve yet.

Client: cvs 1.12.1
(both Linux)

the cvs would open a gvim editor window. AND at the
same time say
log message empty or unmodified
a)abort c)continue
I guess it's about how editors handle files. Some work with the file itself,
others make a copy in /tmp and work with this. So the original file is
immediately released. And
I'm having the same problem with my install of Tortoise.
Except I don't know where to put the -N flag.
The FAQ refers to putting it in a .cvsrc file in my home directory BUT
Win2K doesn't allow a file to be named .cvsrc
Create any file, go to DOS window and rename it.

How can a Windows CVS client like TortoiseCVS configured to access a CVS repository
through a proxy server?
I don't know if Tortoise uses an external cvs program or builtin routines. If it's
an external program you can try to replace it with the one from WinCvs. This
has support for proxies.
A few months ago I mistakenly committed a Crystal Report (*.rpt) file into CVS as an
ASCII file. This broke the file, but no one noticed for a while. Recently, I
realized my error and tried to correct it by removing the file from CVS, then
re-committing it as binary.
It appears, however,
We have Eclipse/WSAD clients accessing our CVS server on AIX. When you

Is it possible with .cvsignore/CVSIGNORE/cvswrapper to ignore
a directory?
Yes, just put the directory name in a .cvsignore file, in the parent

And as other variant: Can I make a

We have a Linux box used a s file server and for cvs with :pserver. But as

Is there a possibility to do the cvs authentification with the NT users? Maybe

Is there any other way in which i can migrate data from CVS to VSS.Like i want to
move data from CVS to VSS as nightly builds.
I want to keep both CVS and VSS.I do the everyday work in CVS .
But nightly builds i want to move it to VSS .IS there any way i can move data from
CVS to VSS.
Why
I was investigating case sensitivity, thinking that it was somehow
necessary for the support of Windows clients, when it occurred to me
that the _only_ value-added feature this provides is that Windows users
don't need to specify the case of files and paths correctly in remote
commands.
We once
We once had the minor problem that somehow files showed up twice
(e.g. doing an update). It turned out that the case of the file itself
didn't
match the entry in the entries file. So cvs once reported the file from
the entries file and then again while looking for unknown files. It
behaved
So I merge A into B, and then commit to B
Then when I try to merge B into Home, I _still_ get conflicts - because
A's delta is being merged twice? I think?
I never did merging branches, but from what I know I'd say you're right.
cvs doesn't know that some changes in B came from A and
I'm interested in how people organise their in-house projects from an administrative
point of view with CVS, for example, when they use branching, tagging and how (or if)
they use CVS with ant, anthill and how they manage frequent builds and releases (ie,
every 30 minutes)
There is a brief

As for checking out with different line endings: I haven't tried this but you

From what I've read, cvs does not support using a proxy. I found a patch on
google but it was pretty old as were all the other messages.
Is it still the case that cvs does not support going through a firewall? If
cvs does support it, a link to the reference would be very appreciated.

Likewise..
cvs update -j TEST -j DEV -m
means migrate changes from TEST to DEV, and remember the migration.
Then, if, inside head:

it would remember that the DEV changes have already been put

You can check if there are the necessary files in repo/CVSROOT.
See the manual for what files there should be. If it works you can
check by applying a few cvs commands :)

thank you Fab for your help, but i have 4 versions from 1.1 to 1.4,it's
showing that 1.2 is dead.How to recover version 1.2?
You can't change the state of 1.2 but you don't need to. If you need
the content you can just check out this version even with dead state.
cvs checkout -r1.2 file.

what's meant by dead state?
how one version goes into dead state?
Dead means removed from the HEAD (but still available for older versions).
So someone made cvs remove file, cvs commit file.
how to recover from dead state?
Just re-add it. cvs add file, cvs commit file.

You should be able to get what you want from cvs rlog -S.
