permission denied

I have a working CVS repository. No errors in a long time. All of sudden, I'm getting these error messages: cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied when trying to commit. CVS actually commits it, but I still get the error message. I haven't found any convincing I run cvs as

Re: locked files

locked files

I asked this question a while ago, and know I have an answer. My colleagues complained on CVS because it's hard to know which files are locked by other people (yes we use the locking strategy). If someone wants to know how to get this information out of CVS, mail me. Regards, Thomas ___

CVSROOT or username in TCL

I'm using WinCVS1.1, tcl 8.3 for Windows NT. I'm trying to write a simple tcl script to echo out the CVSROOT-variable or better yet, the username the user has when logged in. It's set through the Admin->Preferences, so I can't get it from "env". Thomas ___

passwd rejected

I have a cvs server running on Linux. One client uses WinCVS 1.1. It worked until this happened: We changed password for him on the Linux server. Now, he can't use "Login..." because it says that the server rejected access. But he inputs the right password. Also, if I try to change the CVSROOT

rollback in cvs

This is probably in the FAQ, but can't find it. Suppose readme.txt is revision 1.5. I'd like to go back to 1.3 and completely forget 1.4 and 1.5. I do a cvs up -r1.3 readme.txt my older file comes into my local dir and I do my changes. Now, I can't do cvs com -m "comment" readme.txt because

distributed repositories

Is it possible and/or has anyone set up CVS with two different repositories, allowing distributed development, and then having an admin or a script merging them together periodically. I'd like the two different groups to be able to develop on their own, but not having to touch the other group's

gobbled output for log and status selection

I have cvs as a pserver on a Linux box. When using WinCVS 1.06, I can't do 'log selection' or 'graph selection' on files, the output in the shell window just gets gobbled, printing a lot of things on the same row, very rapidly, looks like a bug, ending with "no message". :/ Executing "Status sele

see all locked files

Maybe this is a stupid question, but couldn't find it in the documentation. In WinCVS, how do you find all the files that I have locked (by clicking the lock-key symbol). Right now, I have to browse each directory manually to see that. Thomas
