bonjour `a tous, i have noticed that upon 'cvs checkout' the CVS/Entries file is not properly created, leaving a trailing 'D' in the file, as it appears to try to list the directories in the current directory (none actually get included in the file). interestingly CVS/Entries.Log exists and contains 'A' (add) entries for the directories within.
for some reason, 'cvs update' will fix this problem by recreating a proper list in CVS/Entries. while it may seem like this is a non- problem since there is a workaround, it is an indicator that some- thing is going wrong with the server or client cvs. that and LinCVS won't work with it because the CVS/Entries are corrupted ;) (until 'cvs update'). i should note that the checkout is made manually and not by LinCVS, since i brought it up... the CVS/Entries.Log file no longer exists after the 'cvs update'. does anyone have the remotest idea of what is going on here? before 'cvs update': CVS/Entries: ------------ /ChangeLog/1.2/Sat Oct 3 02:05:04 1998// /README/1.3/Thu Feb 15 18:40:04 2001// /copyright.html/1.3/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// /framebuilder.html/1.5/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// /index.html/1.4/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// D ------------ CVS/Entries.Log --------------- A D/Test//// A D/bin//// A D/classes//// A D/docs//// A D/gifs//// A D/local//// A D/logs//// A D/src//// --------------- after: CVS/Entries: ------------ /ChangeLog/1.2/Sat Oct 3 02:05:04 1998// /README/1.3/Thu Feb 15 18:40:04 2001// /copyright.html/1.3/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// /framebuilder.html/1.5/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// /index.html/1.4/Tue Apr 2 00:23:32 2002// D/Test//// D/bin//// D/classes//// D/docs//// D/gifs//// D/local//// D/logs//// D/src//// ------------ thanks everyone, -chris grierson _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
