We had alotta trouble getting CVS task to work on win2k, but it was only path problems.
We we're using wincvs at the time and it worked fine. First we got cvs to work from the command line, then from within ant as <exec ..> then tried the ant <CVS task.. - it took awhile but it was only path problems. Ant <CVS> wants to find the cvs dir in the user's path, so we had to add it the the user's path in the windows registry. Then, ant <CVS> wanted to find the .cvspass file in the windows user dir under "Documents and Settings..." for that user. Wincvs was using .cvspass in /username/.cvspass. Now we've been using it without trouble now for a couple of months. Don't know if this helps.

However, it appears that 'cvs' invoked from Ant (version 1.5) and 'cvs' invoked from the command line behave differently. This works from the command line: prompt> cvs -n tag -F -R my-tag Foo This does not work from Ant: <cvs cvsRoot=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs/repository" command="tag -F -R my-tag Foo" failonerror="true" noexec="true"> </cvs> Note: -n option prevents cvs from actually making changes in repository -r option apparently doesn't work for tagging (cvs tag -r my-tag Foo). If I try that command from the command line I get: cvs [server aborted]: no such tag my-tag Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to do this tagging from Ant rather than the shell script...
