Regards, Chris Tsai, SourceForge.net Support -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1][site-support:#1887] Anonymous CVS behavior has changed since the service was re-established Status: assigned Labels: siteops p3 Created: Thu Dec 06, 2012 10:54 PM UTC by Tom Russo Last Updated: Thu Dec 06, 2012 10:54 PM UTC Owner: Chris Tsai The anonymous cvs service behavior after it has been restored has changed in a manner that has caused users of the Xastir project to be unable to issue "cvs update" on existing checkouts. The long-standing instructions from project developers to anon CVS users has been that they should do their initial checkouts with: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xastir co xastir Users who have done so have begun to report that "cvs update" is spewing errors now. An example (heavily trimmed) from a user report follows: cvs update cvs update: Updating . cvs update: .cvsignore is no longer in the repository cvs update: ABOUT-NLS is no longer in the repository cvs update: AUTHORS is no longer in the repository cvs update: CC_OpenStreetMap_logo.png is no longer in the repository cvs update: CC_OpenStreetMap_txt.png is no longer in the repository cvs update: COPYING is no longer in the repository [2][... one such message for every single file normally present in the top level...] cvs update: Updating CVSROOT U CVSROOT/checkoutlist U CVSROOT/commitinfo U CVSROOT/config U CVSROOT/cvswrappers U CVSROOT/editinfo U CVSROOT/loginfo U CVSROOT/modules U CVSROOT/notify U CVSROOT/rcsinfo U CVSROOT/taginfo U CVSROOT/verifymsg [3][This is new --- no normal checkout should have included CVSROOT] cvs update: Updating CVSROOT/Emptydir cvs update: Updating Davis cvs update: cannot open directory /cvsroot/xastir/xastir/Davis: No such file or directory [4][one such error message for every subdirectory in the project] When I checked into this, I discovered that a fresh checkout using our standard instructions now gets not only the normal files in the project, but the CVSROOT directory, too. Also, all files are an additional level down in path name. I found that issuing a modified cvs checkout: cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xastir/xastir co xastir produced a checkout that matched prior behavior. It appears that an extra level of "xastir" has been added to the repository path somehow, and this has broken the ability to update existing checkouts. Could you please look into this and let us know if anonymous CVS can be returned to its old behavior? We have given our users the workaround (to blow away their existing checkouts and use the modified repository to get a new one), but that will, of course, break their checkouts again if the service is returned to old behavior. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sent from sourceforge.net because you indicated interest in [5]https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/1887/ To unsubscribe from further messages, please visit [6]https://sourceforge.net/auth/prefs/ References Visible links 1. http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/1887/ 2. http://sourceforge.net/...%20one%20such%20message%20for%20every%20single%20file%20normally%20present%20in%20the%20top%20level... 3. http://sourceforge.net/This%20is%20new%20---%20no%20normal%20checkout%20should%20have%20included%20CVSROOT 4. http://sourceforge.net/one%20such%20error%20message%20for%20every%20subdirectory%20in%20the%20project 5. https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/1887/ 6. https://sourceforge.net/auth/prefs/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
