Hello all,
Here is an update on the CVS BOF that OpenAvenue hosted recently at
the O'Reilly OpenSource conference in Monterey. I thought it might
interest the group, so I'm posting it here for your perusal. Should
you care to see it in it's pretty HTML version, you can find it here:

Hi,
Scenario : There is just a single tree that is used for the production
and development.
Since we wanted to do a complete build and wanted to tag
all the files I tagged it with QA_2724.
I then did the following

It means that when diff3 did diffs between the common file and each of
the other two files, one of those (subsidiary) diffs failed for some
reason. CVS uses diff3 to merge changes. What

If the question is about WinCVS (you don't say), then the answer is "you
can't get user input."

That can't be guaranteed to be correct across multiple machines. If
another "long" filename beginning with "Progra" was created on the disk

For the record, there's one option you haven't discussed:
CLEARTOOL := C:/Progra~1/Rational/ClearCase/bin/cleartool.exe
However, I think getting rid of the full path is the more robust solution.

I want to work on some Macros and I have a tcl question:
How do I get user input? I can see "cvsout" but I couldn't find any

Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is use the "cvs tag" or "cvs rtag" command to tag the
relevant versions of the four modules with a symbolic tag such as
"release_2_0". You may also want to use the cvsroot/modules file to define
a "module" for your product with all four modules A, B, C, and D in it.
Then "c

It is used by your client so that it knows what port to connect to on the

for incoming connections. The client uses cvspserver to identify which port

For tagging operations, you can always write a taginfo script instead.
Additionally, you can get the old version by having your comm

versions of source code so it will not help you much.

Possible ways to deal with this:
1. Get a box whose file system supports ACL's. Use client/server CVS with the
server running on that box. Manage permissions (including ACL's) to your
liking.
2. Use pserver CVS with the readers/writers files and separate repositories.
This might require getting

Anybody know how can I generate a release of a software with CVS?

I have to check the commited branch, but the commitinfo
actually gives nothing else but the file name.
The loginfo has more infos, but it cannot make the commit
fail. Thus, I have modified the src/commit.c file with
