Post-review installation
Hi! We just managed to install Review Board on one of our organisation's web hotel (a server which we don't have direct access to), so we have a working installation and we can reach the web interface. We also learned from you that for ClearCase, post-review is not only recommended but required. My basic question would be: where should we install this tool? We are having access to some Linux machines where we can reach ClearCase from. Should we put it on one of these? Am I right that it won't be useful to install post-review on the same machine where Review Board is installed, as we cannot get command line access there?

Diff format to upload?
Hi! I succesfully configured a ClearCase repository for Review Board. I create a diff file with 'cleartool diff -pred -dif filename' for test purpose. It conatins only the following: 927a928,929 /* Review Board Test */ When I try to add it on New Review Request page, it says The selected file does not appear to be a diff. What format/command should I use in order to be RB-compatible? Thanks, Géza -- Want to help the Review Board project? Donate today at http://www.reviewboard.org/donate/ Happy user?

Re: Configured repository doesn't show on New Review Request page
Hi! It is a valuable piece of information, still, I have questions remained. 'cleartool lsview' with -cview flag presupposes that there is a view already set (-cview means current view). Do I need to provide the command which sets the view in the path field of the repo, or the application is already needed to be ran on the server with the view set? Thanks, Géza 2012/12/7 Christian Hammond chip...@chipx86.com: Hi, I'm not an expert on the Clear Case setups, but going through the code, we do this: cleartool lsview -full -properties -cview If we get an error, we won't show the repository. We then look through the output. If there's no Properties: with dynamic or snapshot, we fail. Otherwise, it should list the repository. Hope that in some way helps. Our Clear Case support is not really a first-class citizen. It's a series of contributions, but unfortunately not one I know a lot about.

Re: Configured repository doesn't show on New Review Request page
Hi! When command is issued from console in the desired vob directory, it gives correct output and even dynamic tag is found among Properties. But giving the same directory path as Repository Path, it still doesn't show. Do you know of any tricky options maybe of starting your application itself? It can be the last remaining root cause, as the command in itself works and the directory exists and reachable. In one of your earlier mails, you mentioned some reviewboard log. Could you please provide a path to it maybe so that I can request it more exactly from the server technician? Thanks, Géza 2012/12/10 Christian Hammond chip...@chipx86.com: Hi Géza, Sorry, I missed a crucial piece of information. That command is run from the directory specified by the Repository Path.
