Re: editors get lost with running an update
Using the diff command is no option, because it uses E responses instead of sending the file content. This causes major troubles with non-ASCII-characters. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer _ smartcvs.com Jim.Hyslop schrieb: Thomas Singer wrote: We've encountered a problem with GNU CVS 1.12.9.

Well, I think the first thing to do is to fix the bug (sounds like a bug in CVS 1.12 to me). I don't have a copy of 1.12 handy to test this, but try adding the -p option to see if that helps. Since you're doing a file compare, you could just do it the way CVS expects you to - invoke the 'diff' command and send the current contents of the file ;=) Or, since you want to fetch the original version in its entirety, you could send an empty file. CVS will then respond with all the lines that you deleted, i.e. the entire file (which you can then redirect to your external file comparer). ___ Bug-cvs mailing list Bug-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs

editors get lost with running an update
Hi, We've encountered a problem with GNU CVS 1.12.9. Please see the following log. First, we check out a simple module test (cvs watch on was called before): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ la total 8 drwxr-xr-x2 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:34 . drwxr-xr-x 34 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:30 ..

SmartCVS fetched the original file content by using the update command, simulating a non-existent local file. We simulate SmartCVS' behaviour by renaming file.txt to file.txt.original: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/test$ mv file.txt file.txt.original [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/test$ la total 12 drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:35 . drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:34 .. drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:34 CVS -rw-r--r--1 tom tom 0 Feb 27 13:25 file.txt.original [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/test$ cvs update file.txt cvs update: warning: `file.txt' was lost U file.txt Unfortunately GNU CVS 1.12.9 seems to think, the file is lost and destroys the editors information: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/test$ la total 12 drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:35 . drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:34 .. drwxr-xr-x3 tom tom 4096 Feb 27 13:35 CVS -r--r--r--1 tom tom 0 Feb 27 13:35 file.txt -rw-r--r--1 tom tom 0 Feb 27 13:25 file.txt.original [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/test$ cvs editors CVSNT 2.0.58d behaves correctly, it keeps the editors information.
