The repository also contains another directory at the same level, PackB which contains 1 file, bfile1. I'd like to know if CVS provides a mechanism that will create the following files: PackA/afile1 PackA/afile2 PackA/PackB/bfile1 when executing cvs co PackA. and PackB/bfile1 when executing cvs co PackB.

Re: cvs question
Yes, the simplest way is to create seperate modules with seperate group permissions. I know the names below are dumb, they are just for the sake of example :) groups : c cpp java The modules are named c, cpp and java and are read/write/setgid to their individual group. US users are members of all three groups, Indian users are a member of the Java group and Russians are members of the cpp group.

This is not exactly intuitive, but the best way I've found is cvs -nq update which lists what would happen if cvs did do an update. The -n means "Don't do anything!" and is useful if you are just looking for the output of a command, and -q suppresses some lines I don't find useful. It will list files, one line per file. If the file begins with a ?, cvs knows nothing about it (and it isn't in .cvsignore). If it begins with U, somebody's added it. If it begins with a P, somebody's changed it. If it begins with an M, you changed it; if somebody has checked in a change, you'll get a message about the changes being merged. If it begins with a C, then your version is incompatible for some reason with the version in the repository, usually because both you and somebody else have made conflicting changes. -- David H.

Re: CVS question (fwd)
Hello,
I didn't see a bug submission form on http://www.cvshome.org so
hopefully it's OK to report a bug here.
Apologies if this is inappropriate or already known/old news.
The problem is described in the email dialogue below. In short,
CVS expects that an imported file will have identical dates
set on revisions 1.1 and 1.1.1.1, but apparently in actuality
it doesn't guarantee this at import time.
Thanks,
-Archie

Consider this source file:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/lib/Attic/ranny.c
Question: what version should this command checkout?

Perhaps version 1.1.1.2 would be correct, but instead you get 1.1.
CVS is really screwy in this area. I remember I had to add some
special cases to CVSup long ago to try to mimic CVS's behavior in
odd cases.
It seems CVS is being inconsistent:
- If you had done a 'head' checkout on that date you would have
gotten 1.1.1.2
That makes sense, because on that date the file had not yet left the
vendor branch, and its default branch attribute still pointed to the
vendor branch.
- If you later do a 'head' checkout, and specify that date, you get 1.1
CVS has a heuristic that does the wrong thing for this particular
file. The code is around line 3252 of src/contrib/cvs/src/rcs.c in
the function RCS_getdate():
if (! STREQ (cur_rev, "1.1"))
return (xstrdup (cur_rev));
/* This is 1.1; if the date of 1.1 is not the same as that for the
1.1.1.1 version, then return 1.1. This happens when the first
version of a file is created by a regular cvs add and commit,
and there is a subsequent cvs import of the same file. */
p = findnode (rcs-versions, "1.1.1.1");
if (p)
{
vers = (RCSVers *) p-data;
if (RCS_datecmp (vers-date, date) != 0)
return xstrdup ("1.1");
}
It compares the dates on the theory that an import will set
identical dates in revisions 1.1 and 1.1.1.1. But in the file you
mentioned, they are off by 1 second. So CVS doesn't recognize it as
an import.
revision 1.1
date: 1993/12/21 18:36:22; author: wollman; state: Exp;
revision 1.1.1.1
date: 1993/12/21 18:36:23; author: wollman; state: Exp; lines: +0 -0
Probably the import straddled the seconds boundary. I hope current
versions of CVS force the dates to be the same on an import. I
haven't checked to see whether that's the case or not.

Re: CVS Question
This will only work if your repository is on the same machine as your webserver and if your webserver is only one one machine. For something more flexible, you essentially have to have a cronjob do periodic cvs updates. One of our projects does this. The website is huge and changes are pushed live 4 times a day. If changes aren't made by the time of an update, they have to wait until the next one. What turned out to be more of a problem is making sure files get comitted, added, and deleted as necessary where people are editing. Typical HTML person doesn't know UNIX and can't understand how CVS works and typically gets confused due to CVSs cryptic error messages and subtle behavior (no slight on CVS; it's a programmer's tool). We built a web interface that abstracts CVS's necessities away from the HTML person.
