Recently, I've been investigating a problem with left-over lock files on our CVS server (pserver).
During my research, I wanted to see how a client responds when a lock file exists. I assumed if I manually created a lock dir called #cvs.lock or a lock file called #cvs.rfl.<host>.<pid> or #cvs.wfl.<host>.<pid>, the client would report the module is locked. The only one that appeared to work as I expected was #cvs.lock. When #cvs.lock existed, the cvs client would report: waiting for <users>'s lock in <directory> If either of the other 2 lock files existed (and #cvs.lock didn't exist), the cvs command would work just fine. I tried changing the owner of the rfl/wfl lock file and making sure the pid was for a current process... nothing seemed to work. What am I missing? Shouldn't the existence of the lock file cause the cvs command to fail or wait? The version of CVS on the server side is 1.11. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
