CVS login

[anabell]

I just installed TortoiseCVS in my computer and now trying to checkout from
a server.  Everytime I do a checkout, this error occurs:

cvs95 checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

Fatal error, aborting.
cvs95 [checkout aborted]: AnabellChan: no such user

Error, CVS operation failed

What do I need to do? Thanks for any help!

Renaming the directories (or files) locally is far from enough.  It even
should never be done.  Check the CVS/Repository file and you should know
that CVS never knows your local change (and how could it know? you did
not inform it, did you?).  It still "thinks" the files are in the
MyDatabase directory (regardless of your local directory name).
The simple rule is never to rename.  If you are really uncomfortable,
you should remove the old files/directories and re-add them.  To do this
smoothly, you may have to read the manual carefully and have an
understanding how CVS works.  You are your CVS admin.

should we branch or tag every time we add a file?

[Pedro Salazar]

Greetings,

On specific time in my main branch, I decided to add a new file. Before
I add the new file to the main branch, should I tag with a symbolic name
or should I create a new branch where should exist the file?

For instance, if I don't add a new branch, I'll have to tag my module to
a reference without that file. Suppose if I want to get a previous
release where the new file has not been added I must have a tag or a
branch to avoid get all the files if some are from future revisions...

thanks,
Pedro.

CVS doesn't track merges.  If you want to know about them, it's up to
you to track them (typically via log messages and/or tags).

It seems to me that the root is on the branch, in the sense that
"cvs up -rBRANCH" will yield it (i.e. it's on the branch in the
CVS sense, even if not in the RCS sense).

However, I can see wanting to ask either question:
  - For which files has someone actually committed something to
the branch?

  - Which files have branch tag X, i.e. which files will be in my
sandbox if I do "cvs update -rX"?

So it's hard to argue that either of the two behaviours is
"correct" or "a bug"; either one could be what the user's looking
for.

It's the same difference as that between "cvs log -rX:Y" and
"-rX::Y".

Comparing fileversions with tagged version

Hi,

I want to compare if the latest file versions in repository with 
the files in tagged version.
Suppose I have latest version for file 'X' as 1.6 in repository 
and my tagged versions 'app-id-1' has file 'X' of revision 1.4.
So there is diff in latest file version and tagged version.Is 
there some way in CVS wherein I can find the difference for my 
whole module.
I want to know what all file in a particular version are not 
latest.

Howto?

1. Rename a module in the repository? Is it even possible? That way, the
next time somebody checks out the entire module, the directory name will
have the change?

2. If I checkout a module from one repository, say from the Internet,
and then import it into a second repository, say my local one, is there
an easy and correct way to make sure that the local copy is also updated
by the changes in the remote repository?  That is, I want to do an
update from the remote repository in my local directory and then be able
to merge and commit those changes to my local repository?

Re: How to determine the previous revision number?

[Paul Sander]

The rinfo program can display a list of version numbers between two given
versions.  It accomodates removed revisions, branches, and magic branches,
which complicate the computation.  And its output is easily scanned by a
script.  Running this program and piping its output to "tail -2 | head -1"
and clipping out the appropriate field from the resulting line gives you
what you want.

You can find the rinfo sources at http://www.wakawaka.com/source.html

I am trying to customize some change reports we generate using the CVS tools
available in Ant - which basically means I can execute any arbitrary CVS
command line.
 
The reports can already determine what revisions of each file were committed
between 2 dates - using a log command. What I would like to do is report the
previous revision number which is not easily obtained from the output from
the log command. Is there a way from the log output to determine the
previous revision number for any of the revisions committed in the log ouput
for a single file? Or alternatively is there a known algorithm, that given a
CVS revision number, can determine what the previous revision number was?

There aren't any revisions actually on the branch yet (the root is not
on the branch), which is why you're not getting any results.  I don't

You have to use "cvs update -dP" on your server sandbox to create new
directories and delete empty one in a workign directory.

For your other problem I don't know sorry :)

--
Julien






I've recently started using CVS to help manage a programming
project that I, and I alone, am working on, at least for
now. I'm having a problem and couldn't find a solution in the
docs or in the archives.

My setup is that I have my CVS repository on my working server,
and then a sandbox on my working server from which a build
script puts things where they're supposed to go. Then on my
development server, I again have a sandbox and a build script.
I've been working by making changes in the sandbox on the dev
sever, and when they're ready, committing them to the repository,
updating the working server's sandbox, and building it out.

There was a point at which I was making a lot of changes to my
dev sandbox, but didn't have access to the repository so
couldn't commit anything. When I got back to it, I found that
I couldn't get some things to match up.

The basic problem is that I had taken a specific program, and
directory, called Book.pm and Book/ and then generalized it
and renamed them to MyDatabase.pm and MyDatabase/ . In my dev
sandbox, I have this directory called MyDatabase/ and there
are a bunch of programs underneath it that used to be in Book/ .
But I can't seem to get this directory onto the working
server. When I go to the working sandbox and type "cvs
update", it doesn't create MyDirectory/ or anything underneath
it; it's the same when I deleted the entire sandbox and did a
"cvs checkout" from scratch.

Yet in the development sandbox, it certainly thinks it's there--
when I type "cvs add MyDatabase/" or "cvs add [any of the programs
under MyDatabase/]" I get messages like "there is a version
in MyDatabase already" or "SearchView.pm already exists, with
version number 1.3".

What do I need to do to get these files out of CVS and into
the sandbox on the working server?

Thanks very much. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

I did a quick search

looked very promising. For example there there were a few posts regarding a tool

There aren't any revisions actually on the branch yet (the root is not
on the branch), which is why you're not getting any results.  I don't
think that's a bug, but it might be possible to convince me otherwise.
OK, so may be I do not use the right command to get what I want.
All I need is to list files that will be checkout if I use the specified 
tag (ie the list of files that will be displayed when I checkout but 
without actually checkout them). That's what I get if I use the "cvs rlog" 
command with the "simple" tag. But how get the list of files of a tagged 
branch? Do I need to use another command?

Thanks in advance

Martyn,

I have not done anything like this myself but I think some of the

Just rename the dir in the repository, or play around with the modules

It's because your log comments are in this form:

 begin snip 
//Source file: I:\\isf\\util\\DynamicInstance.java

/* CmIdentification

// Version History:
$Log: DynamicInstance.java,v $
Revision 1.5  2003/07/28 16:18:08  UF367151
Extension to the isf.util package, to be included on the kernel of SGCv10. Utility 
classes.



 */
 end snip 

My script was written for cases where the $Log$ tag is NOT flush left, but rather has 
some sort of character prefix to the left of the tag.  This is a sufficiently standard 
condition that RCS was designed to detect and re-insert those prefixes before every 
revision comment line.  That is, my script was designed to work for cases like this:

/*
 * Author:   $Author$
 * Revision: $Revision$
 * History:
 *   $Log$
 *   Revision 1.5  2003/07/28 16:18:08  UF36715
 *   Extension to the isf.util package, to be included 
 *   on the kernel of SGCv10. Utility classes.
 */

or this:

// Author:   $Author$
// Revision: $Revision$
// History:
//   $Log$
//   Revision 1.5  2003/07/28 16:18:08  UF36715
//   Extension to the isf.util package, to be included 
//   on the kernel of SGCv10. Utility classes.

...or something along those lines.

See, there needs to be some way of telling when the $Log$ comments STOP.  Given the 
variety of coding conventions in use, it's impossible to come up with a standard, 
failsafe way to do that.

If you want to pursue this, and if the Java source you sent was representative of your 
entire body of code, then try changing the middle block of the script from this:

elsif( $State eq "IN_LOG" )
{
if( $Line =~ /^$Prefix/ )
{
# looks like a follow-on log line;
# do nothing, and thus delete line
}
else
{
# looks like the prefix has changed, so
# assUme we've ended the log section
print $Line;
$State = "AFTER_LOG";
}
}

...to this:

elsif( $State eq "IN_LOG" )
{
if( $Line =~ /^\/\/+/ )
{
# looks like we hit one of those //... 
# separators, so assUme we've ended the log section
print $Line;
$State = "AFTER_LOG";
}
}

Beyond that, you need to find someone on your end who can help you with automated text 
processing (or order a used copy of this 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/1565924622).  This has ceased to be a CVS

Re: how to really remove the information of the file?

[Mark Priest]

Just to clarify what Erik was saying you must remove the RCS file in the
repository (in addition to the file in your working directory) in order to
erase cvs's "memory" of that file.  When you use cvs remove the RCS file is
moved to a subdirectory of its original location named "Attic" so you should
look for it there.

When you remove a file from the repository you actually mark it as dead, and
it stays in the repository.. Therefore the upcount in revision numbers.

I think the way to permanently delete a file is to to it "hard" and without
using cvs-commands (in Unix use rm) That is if you are clear with that the
file and all previous revisions will forever be gone. You also have to have
access to removing files from the cvsroot.

Hope this information is correct ;-)

Dear members,

When I remove a file from the repository, the file doesn't exist any more,
but, If I want to add a file with the same name, the revision number is not
1.1, it takes in to account that this file was previously removed, so the
revsion number is 1.2. Is there any way to avoid this behavour?

Gu,

I believe these are all binary files.  You should have added them to cvs
with cvs add -kb so that keyword expansion was turned off and the file was
recognized as  binary.  By default cvs assumes file are text and attempts to
expand keywords such as $Author$, $Revision$, etc.  It also assumes files
can be stored in the repository using RCS format which includes the current
version plus all of the deltas in the same file.  You can fix this by
running the admin command against a correct version of the files (i.e. cvs
admin -kb foo.pdb) or by removing them and adding them again using (rm
foo.pdb, cvs remove foo.pdb, then cvs add -kb foo.pdb).

permissions on modules

Let's say I have in my repository, two modules:  client1_module,
client2_module.

I only want my internal folks to view, commit, update, etc from
client1_module.  However, I want to be able to give an employee of my
client2 access to and abilitity to commit, update, etc anything in
client2_module.

Right now, all of the files in the whole repository are owned by cvs.cvs. 
I have added all of my developers to the cvs group.  All is well.  Now,
how can I give my client2 access to ONLY her module?  I don't care if she
can see that there is another module, but I don't wan't her to be able to
view the files in, or do any updates, commits, etc on the client1 module. 
Is this possible?

Right.  If you go to the repository and delete the file there
corresponding to the offending file but having ",v" appended to the
end, it's gone forever.

This is something to be very careful of.  By doing that, you break the
repository for any time before the file was marked dead or removed,
and you lose that file permanently.  This is normally exactly what
you don't want in a version control system.

And what you get by this is a different revision number.  This doesn't
matter.  You cannot map revision numbers to much of anything else
successfully without putting in a lot of pointless work, and so you
are almost always much better off treating the revision numbers
as "magic cookies".

When you want to have a coherent setup of the file system that you can
refer to later, use tags.  That's what they're there for.

Revision numbers are for CVS.
Tags are for humans.

Strange behaviour with cvs rlog and branch tag

[Olivier Imbrechts]

Hello,

I'm using CVS 1.11.2
I try to list files with a specified tag in my repository but depending on 
the tag I do not have the same results :

first, I add a tag to my module with "cvs -d /my_repository rtag -R tag1 
my_module"
Then, I add another tag with "cvs -d /my_repository rtag -R -b tag2 
my_module" to make a branch tag.

When I list files with the first tag I have the following results :

> cvs -d /my_repository rlog -S -R -rtag1 my_module
cvs rlog: Logging my_module
/my_repository/my_module/file1.c,v
/my_repository/my_module/file2.c,v
cvs rlog: Logging my_module/dir1
/my_repository/my_module/dir1/file3.c,v
cvs rlog: Logging my_module/dir2
/my_repository/my_module/dir2/file4.c,v
...
But when I list files with the second tag (branch) I have the following 
results :

> cvs -d /my_repository rlog -S -R -rtag2 my_module
cvs rlog: Logging my_module
cvs rlog: Logging my_module/dir1
cvs rlog: Logging my_module/dir2
...
When listing files tagged with a branch tag I only get directories while it 
works fine with "simple" tag.
Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Thanks in advance

Olivier

problems with a unicode file

[Tiziana Biondo]

Hi All,
 
I am using WinCvs 1.3 . I added to my repository a 
pdf file with the 'add unicode' option since the system warned me when 
I tried to use  'add binary'. When I checked it out I couldn't open it 
because it results corrupted , so I've deleted the file and added 
it once again forcing WinCvs to use the binary mode. The problem is that the 
system keeps on adding it as a unicode ( -ku option) making it impossible 
for me to open that document. 
To resolve this situation, do I have to physically 
delete the file from the server? And if so which is the right way to 
do it (I mean do I have to look in the Attic or whatever...)? 
 
Thanks in advance

Newbie: problems adding directory to repository

[Jesse Sheidlower]

I've recently started using CVS to help manage a programming
project that I, and I alone, am working on, at least for
now. I'm having a problem and couldn't find a solution in the
docs or in the archives.

My setup is that I have my CVS repository on my working server,
and then a sandbox on my working server from which a build 
script puts things where they're supposed to go. Then on my
development server, I again have a sandbox and a build script.
I've been working by making changes in the sandbox on the dev
sever, and when they're ready, committing them to the repository,
updating the working server's sandbox, and building it out.

There was a point at which I was making a lot of changes to my
dev sandbox, but didn't have access to the repository so
couldn't commit anything. When I got back to it, I found that
I couldn't get some things to match up.

The basic problem is that I had taken a specific program, and
directory, called Book.pm and Book/ and then generalized it
and renamed them to MyDatabase.pm and MyDatabase/ . In my dev
sandbox, I have this directory called MyDatabase/ and there
are a bunch of programs underneath it that used to be in Book/ . 
But I can't seem to get this directory onto the working
server. When I go to the working sandbox and type "cvs
update", it doesn't create MyDirectory/ or anything underneath
it; it's the same when I deleted the entire sandbox and did a
"cvs checkout" from scratch.

Yet in the development sandbox, it certainly thinks it's there--
when I type "cvs add MyDatabase/" or "cvs add [any of the programs
under MyDatabase/]" I get messages like "there is a version
in MyDatabase already" or "SearchView.pm already exists, with
version number 1.3".

What do I need to do to get these files out of CVS and into
the sandbox on the working server?

Thanks very much. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Repository design suggestions

[Martyn Klassen]

I'm trying to design the repository structure for a group of projects under 
team development and was wondering if anyone with more experience might have 
some recommendations for an efficient design.

The projects are extensions to a commercial application and consist largely 
of text files (macros, menus, c-code, etc.). To be useful, tested/debugged, 
the project files have to be in the directories dictated by the application. 
Initial I thought this wouldn't be a problem, you simply make the repository 
tree structure the same as that used by the application and check out a 
working copy on top of the directories used by the application. Of course 
releasing the project becomes difficult because "cvs release -d" is not 
smart enough to only delete files under cvs control, but more problematic is 
the issue of when you need two or more projects checked out at the same 
time. CVS will not allow you to check out files from two trees in the 
repository to the same working directory. You could put all the projects 
into one tree in the repository and use the module definition to check out 
different groups, however when you have 100+ files in a group it gets 
tedious to define and maintain the module definitions, and seems apt to 
cause many problems. The only other idea I could come up with was to have 
separate trees for each project in the repository and use install and 
uninstall scripts to create and destory links in the application directory, 
but the application has the annoying tendency to break links when it 
modifies a file making this less than ideal.

I'd appreciate any insights on possible design solutions that others have 
found to work.

tools for deleting the expanded $Log$ comments

[David]

Hello members,

I would like to know if there is a tools (in perl for example) that delete
all the $Log$ expanded comments. Sometimes it is usefull because your
classes have revisions for a given project, but if you decide to eliminate
from all your code the inserted log comments for a given new revision, or
because your are using your class on another project.

Do you have any suggestion about how to handle such situation. For example I
would like to replace the expanded comments by $Log$, becase I wanto to use
such source files on another project.

Thanks in advance,

David

CVSWeb(NT) problem on Win2K

[Ralph Jocham]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right mailing list but I
have the following problem.
I installed CVSWebNT on my Win2K Server and after some
playing around it did work. Now, suddenly out of the
blue it does not work any more. The error message is
the following (rlog is on the sys path)

Error: Failed to spawn GNU rlog on
'E:/CVSRepo/demo/source//aREADME.txt,v,
E:/CVSRepo/demo/source//build.xml,v,

I have noticed the // just before the file and removed
it to a single / -- no success -- then I replaced the
/ with a \ -- no success. The rlog command being run
in cvswebnt.cgi is the follwoing:

open($fh, "rlog \"" . $filenames . "\" 2>nul |")  

but when I type same command on the cmd line :

C:\>rlog "e:\cvsrepo\sds\dev\archiver.log4j,v"
rlog: e:\cvsrepo\sds\dev\RCS/archiver.log4j,v: No such
file or directory

I see a RCS folder being put in to the string? Why? Is
this the cause??


Thanks,
Ralph

CVS commit and breaking lock

[Loïc Bertholet]

Hi,
 
On the HEAD, when a locked resource is 
commited, the lock is lost.
 
If branches are made, and user puts several locks 
on head and branches, what is the normal behaviour of commit (on head or on 
branch) ?
 
I try different case and results were not the same. 
Sometimes, lock is only lost on commited revision but most of the time all the 
locks are lost... is this normal ?
 
thanks,

I did cvs update -r bra-1_0 file

Now my file is on the branch.  However I want to change it back to being

I know I can look in the repository for the head version number but is

If you want to get a previous release, you either need to have a tag or
you need to get it by date.  In either case, CVS won't include files
from the future.

CVS doesn't track merges.  If you want to know about them, it's up to
you to track them (typically via log messages and/or tags).

But if you want to change that previous release (to create a
patch release due to an urgent bug fix, for example), and commit
your changes, you need a branch.

(If you *don't* want to create patch releases, the branch won't
be used; but having it doesn't do any real harm; but it does
clutter up the repo with empty branches that you have to keep
track of, or at least remember to ignore in the "cvs log"
output.)

Thus, depending on your needs in the future, you might need
either a tag, or a branch, or both.

If you have a tag, though, it's easy to create a branch based on
that tag, but it's difficult to go the other way.

A good approach can be to create only a tag, for now.  If you
later need to patch the release, you can create a branch at that
time to hold your changes.  In the meantime, you've avoided
cluttering up your repo with unnecessary branches.

Re: problems with a CVS authentication

[Mark D. Baushke]

ssh-agent should be setting environment variables and creating a socket
for communication with ssh-add and ssh itself. If ssh-agent fails to get
the environment set up so that it may communicate with ssh-add, then
this is a problem you need to track down with the person who installed
your OpenSSH or with openssh folks themselves.

Adding files on branch off a branch

[Matthew Herrmann]

Hi All,

If I create a new file on a branch of a branch, it creates a 3-digit branch
(ie 1.1.2), and not 5 digit ones like all the other files which were already
on the first branch and were then subsequently modified.

I think this is because the simple handling of newly created files just adds
a deleted revision 1.1 and then resurrects it on the branch.

My question is, when I then merge back onto my first-level branch, it will
try to resurrect the 1.1 file from the trunk, won't it? But that revision
number will already have been taken by the branch of the branch. So either
it will have to give it an unrelated number, which breaks the idea that
1.1.2.4.5.6 is always a descendent of 1.1.2.4, or it will clash on the
revision number of the existing branch and crash.

Am I on track here?

TIA,

Matthew Herrmann

Re: How to determine the previous revision number?

> Or alternatively is there a known algorithm, that given a

if the last component (the Z in 1.3.2.Z) is greater than 1
decrement it
else if there are more than two components
strip off the last two components
else
// there are exactly two components, X.1
this was the first revision; it has no predecessor

1.5 -> 1.4 -> 1.3 -> 1.2 -> 1.1
1.3.6.2.2.2 -> 1.3.6.2.2.1 -> 1.3.6.2 -> 1.3.6.1 -> 1.3 -> 1.2 -> 1.1

Notes:
  - For CVS, the first component is very likely to be 1; however,
it *can* have a different value (especially in ,v files
originally created with raw RCS)

  - If rev. 1.1.1.1 exists, it's a special case, with two
subcases:
  - 1.1.1.1 is usually identical to rev. 1.1; in this case,
consider 1.1.1.1 to be the first revision, and ignore 1.1
entirely.

This subcase arises when the ,v file was created by "cvs
import".  That "wants" the first revision to be 1.1.1.1,
but the RCS file format doesn't allow that (you can't
have a branch with no root), so import creates rev. 1.1
simply as a root to which to anchor 1.1.1.1.

  - If 1.1.1.1 differs from 1.1, don't ignore either of them.
It's not clear what you *should* do here, since (the file
format's logic notwithstanding) it's possible that
neither rev. is really an ancestor of the other; they've
probably descended from a common ancestor that isn't
available in CVS!  (Kind of like humans and gorillas,
whose common ancestor is long extinct.)

This arises when the file was created locally via "cvs
add; cvs commit", and someone subsequently did a "cvs
import" of that file.

Note that you can distinguish these two cases from the log
output, by looking at the "+N -M" indicators on 1.1.1.1, so
you don't have to "cvs diff" them.

I usually do this :

1) copy the module in the repository to the new name
2) checkout the old repository, recursively remove everything

That way, anyone doing an update on an old checkout won't just get
weird errors, everything will start being removed (which is consistent
with reality). However, they can still pull old versions that were in
that repository.

Not easy or correct.. :) You could look at CVSup, or Rsync if you want
to have a master/slave-style mirror relationship. However, if these are
supposed to both be active repositories with independant checkins, I
think you'd have to script something up on your own to merge them.
