Empty val-tags file

Hi I've used now cvs for quite a while and never thought I'd run into such a problem. But anyway here it is. We tag our sources from time to time as it should be. But for some reason not all tags go into the val-tags file. In some repositories it's even empty. According to docu this shouldn't mat

Hi, I've created a CVS repository. I would like to know if it is really necessary to "mkdir cvslocks" dir for every repository that I create. Also,What would happen if I don't specify LockDir in $CVSROOT/config file? But I have cvs logins specified in $CVSROOT/readers and $CVSROOT/writers fil

Vendor branches, imports and checkouts

I've just been surprised by "cvs import", and I'm having a hard time deciding who's wrong and how to best approach the problem. What's a poor geek to do? We've got a CVS repository here that contains a modified version of the NetBSD kernel. We built it by importing the source as a vendor branc

RE: Security, audits and pserver

That's why you would tunnel it over ssh or something like that, with limited key access. People you trust get the key, and their key gets kept on the server. Definitely, a wide-open pserver connection is just an invitation to get cracked. Jan > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Security, audits and pserver

The advantage to chroot environments is that they can limit exposure to things like rogue *info scripts that might reach beyond the CVS repository. This is handy in the event that you store sensitive data on the machine in addition to the repository. The biggest argument in favor of user accounts

Ignore no revision warning in cvs log

Is there a way to ignore the no revision warning message when using the cvs log command? I am using a CVS build that I checked out from around 11/11/02 timeframe to use the new "cvs log -r tag1::tag2" syntax. But if tag1 does not exist in the file (e.g., a new file that was added), CVS currentl

Hi folks- Last week I inquired about how to do the equivalent of a tag without writing to the repository. I wrote a couple of TCL scripts which I believe do what I want, and I'd like to offer them to the cvs community for your use and solicit feedback from anyone who might be interested in the
