Re: [cvsnt] v2.5.05 Registration during install issue
Hi Curt, Thank you for your e-mail. The CVSNT Community Installer requires an outgoing connection to march-hare.com over HTTPS to validate the SEK. If your firewall prevents all outgoing connections then please use the CVS Suite Trial installer instead (CVS Suite does not require an SEK or an internet connection to install): http://march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvsnt Alternatively you can download the C/C++ source of CVSNT and compile the community edition yourself: http://march-hare.com/downloads/index.aspx Note: the community edition has hundreds of known bugs and performance issues and we recommend all commercial software developers use the CVS Suite edition instead (95% open source): http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/?pdf=q Open Source Software is significantly more valuable than closed proprietary software and the Free Software Foundation recommend that companies such as ours who invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in building Free and Open Source Software charge people who use it to ensure that we can continue to develop it: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html Regards, Arthur Barrett > -Original Message- > From: cvsnt-boun...@cvsnt.org > [mailto:cvsnt-boun...@cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Moxley Curtis G > Sent: Friday, 28 May 2010 12:13 AM > To: cvsnt@cvsnt.org > Subject: [cvsnt] v2.5.05 Registration during install issue > > > I'm unable to upgrade to v2.5.05 on Windows due to the > registration during the install process not being able to get > through our corporate firewall.

Re: [cvsnt] Being alerted when commit fails due to ACL
Andrew, I believe what you are using is the old 'flying fish' model. It's a sound strategy, but only if you can quantify the business benefit you are gaining by having the manager sit there and do all the merges to HEAD. What do you gain? Typically I see this requirement when the 'gain' that is sought is some control over or ability to track which changes are making it into a release. This requires change control (not version control) which requires the use of 'user defined change set numbers'/'bug numbers' - and works best when used with a defect tracking tool and integration. It sounds to me as if your specific technical problem is with TortoiseCVS - please contact the TortoiseCVS newsgroup - or simply enter the feature request directly into the sourceforge tracker: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/support.shtml We maintain our own builds of TortoiseCVS for use in CVS Suite, and we are currently submitting patches for/to TortoiseCVS 1.12 RC. I'm surprised that this issue hasn't been raised before. TortoiseCVS already detects some errors (like conflicts during update) and so it should be (relatively) simple to add support for an additional check for ACL messages. I believe that the TortoiseCVS progress dialog will only dismiss automatically if there were no errors. Regards, Arthur -Original Message- From: Andrew Dowell [mailto:andrew_dow...@fpga.com.au] Sent: Fri 30/04/2010 12:49 PM To: Arthur Barrett Cc: cvsnt@cvsnt.org Subject:Re: [cvsnt] Being alerted when commit fails due to ACL Hello Arthur Thankyou for your reply I will look into your suggestions. I suppose what we are trying to achieve may be similar to the mixing model described in the document. All developers branch off HEAD/TRUNK. When the development is finished the branch gets merged back to HEAD. Therefore the QA process needs to be complete before this merge happens to ensure that HEAD is always stable. In only allowing the review manager to be able to merge to HEAD this should solve the problem. We're really just trying to stop an accidental check in on HEAD, where the developer thought they were working on a branch but were not for some reason. The message 'cvs server: User AAA is unable to write to ./ReadMe.txt - ignoring' is explicit enough, but it relies on the developer to actually look at the contents dialog, rather than just the last line (which says Success). Also the developer has the option to automatically close the dialog unless there are errors, and therefore these ignore messages would almost certainly be missed. Generally when there is a CVS error (where CVS returns a error code) we get red text in the dialog and a audible tone. I'll look into getting support from TortoiseCVS and also into the new versions of CVS suite that you suggest.

Andrew, >From your brief description - it sounds to me like you are trying to implement >a promotion model: http://march-hare.com/cvspro/?pdf=u Please download the CVS Suite 2009 trial which contains detailed instructions on how to do this and a GUI designed for this purpose. If you have difficulties - contact the sales team via sa...@march-hare.com. If your GUI is presenting a 'commit successful' message and that is confusing your team - please contact the vendor of the GUI. GUI's should process all the messages from the server not just the return status code. The commit returns success because the failure of a single file in a multi-file commit does not represent an error. It may seem logical that if ALL files fail that it should return an error code - but that is not the standard behaviour and would confuse people relying on the current behaviour. A person reading the message 'cvs server: User AAA is unable to write to ./ReadMe.txt - ignoring' shouldn't think that the commit has been successful... I think the error message is quite clear - what would you like to 'see'? ie: is the problem you are describing : * that the error is unclear * a GUI hides the error * something else I recommend people using CVS Suite/CVSNT Server to set up an e-mail trigger (or if using Suite - the bugzilla trigger) to track what is ACTUALLY committed. The bugzilla trigger is especially nice since it attaches the diffs to the bug and allows for easy 'review' - are the changes I intended in what I committed? The 'reviewer' can then 'promote' based on that information using the promote function in the Suite TortoiseCVS. We've been wanting to add auditing of 'errors' to the server audit plugin for some time but due to architectural issues it's not been possible. http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?id=5518&tt=1 With CVS Suite 2009 this has been solved because of the new architecture (this relies on a small proprietary component - so it is not possible in the community edition). I look forward to adding errorlog to the audit plugin in CVS Suite 2010 - currently due for preview release in June. The ACL failure messages are not logged anywhere (eg: syslog or the windows event log or some file), and that is the subject of a different feature request (which we are also looking at resolving in Suite 2010).

I can pick up that the commit failed on postcommand due to changes in the arguments, but it doesnt look for a returned error code from the script. Precommand will look for a returned error code, but does not pass through the target branch, where I could then review the ACL's that have been setup and make a decision...

Some marketing material on the differences and why they are important will be available in a few weeks. The short explanation is that CVS Suite 2009 edition of CVSNT Server uses a new architecture that is faster but also uses a manager process that is not open source. This provides: * reduced lag on client performance while servers start * allows the server processes to share information to improve performance It is not possible to use CVSNT 2.8 without the manager process.

Re: [cvsnt] CVS Check-out returns some files read-only
Wamor, > I already deleted the fileattr.xml-file in my repository but > this does not solve my problem. It is a BAD IDEA to delete files from your repository. You should never need to touch the repository or any files within it (unless directed to by a person who wrote it or the manual). If files are checked out read-only it is most likely that they are marked exclusive. Some versions of TortoiseCVS automatically does that to binary files.

I've tested the specific combination of server and client versions that you used - but still cannot reproduce the error. Can you re-test? Is there any chance that someone was adjusting the ACLs at the same time as you did your test or that you used a different user for the 2.5.05 test as you did for the 2.5.03 test? The error message you encountered is possible to reproduce with ANY client and particular ACL's due to bugs in 2.5.03.2382. We've used 2.5.05 extensively here with a variety of servers and haven't found any problems. BTW - there are some very serious bugs in 2.5.03.2382 - our recommendations are: * upgrade to CVS Suite - patches to the 2.5.03 codeline are available for 'sensitive' installs * upgrade to CVS Suite 2009 - much better performance, especially on windows * upgrade to CVSNT Community 2.5.05 - major bugs fixes We'll be declaring 2.5.05 stable very very soon (have I said that before?). We can't currently do a mac os x build and that is (obviously) important for MacCVSX support so that is the final stumbling block.

Re: [cvsnt] Problem with CVSNT and Windows Server 2008 64bit
Martin,
> Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Window Server 2008
> (or any windows server) is limited.
I personally think installing any business critical software on an
operating platform that you do not have significant confidence in
administering is not-a-good-idea.
> The error I get it "Connection Refused: Fatal error,
> aborting. DOMAIN/cvs: switch to user failed due to
> configuration error. Contact your system administrator"
> The user cvs has full administrator rights and the software

You have made two advanced configuration changes, maybe 3:
1) installed the software using a non-standard user
2) modified the configuration so that the CVSNT Server runs as a
non-standard user
3) maybe you have altered the service to 'run as' a non standard user
The CVSNT server software will work if you do this:
1) install windows (and join or create a domain)
2) run windows update (as Administrator)
3) install CVSNT (as Domain Administrator)
4) create a repository
If you deviate from that then you are into advanced territory. Now
those advanced options are there for people who need them and they do
work - but they are, err, advanced - and we (the developers) expect
people to know what they are doing and the limitations/problems that
result from using them. We've written a whole book on those subjects
('All About CVS') and a whole other 'guided and QA tested' CVSNT ('CVS
Suite') for people who need them.
Again, my personal belief is that the BEST way to install ANY software
is without modifying any 'defaults' then slowly change one setting at a
time and re-test - then if I break it I know what I did to break it and
I undo it.

Arthur Barrett

OK - this must be a completely different error to what I've seen then - and all I can deduce so far is that it's limited to particular server versions (since the command works OK against sourceforge and also against 2.5.05 itself). I suppose there is a very very small chance that it is something to do with your local install. So running test commands against sourceforge on the same PC would be very very interesting (please do not use ext - stick to inbuilt protocols - if you need ssh to get through your firewall please use :ssh:host:/repo).

If a site touts itself as a comprehensive comparison and misses a tool which has 1.4 million downloads a year - then it's hardly comprehensive - more likely just another example of the web as being a repository of all half-truths and misinformation (ie: it reflects badly on that site - not necessarily badly on us). People who have done documented quantatative and qualatative research into the effectiveness of SCCM like the CMI, Forrester and Gartner agree that a shopping list of features is not the way to choose an SCCM system. For an SCCM implementation to be effective the business needs to 1. understand what business benefit they are looking for SCCM to provide (eg: SOX compliance, ability to distribute patches per customer like a competitor does, reduce fraud), 2. determine what SCCM methodology will support that and their company culture and 3. choose tools that assist in automating that methodology. Lists like the one you reference just don't enter into it at any point - it's like picking a lorry/tractor-trailer based on the number of cylinders (wheras the type of load it needs to carry, the roads it needs to carry it on, the type of dock and the number of sq feet are what is useful). I think updating sites such as the one you found is a GOOD IDEA - and if I had the time I'd update them all. Given lack of time - educating the market on how to choose an SCCM system so it really provides a business benefit - not just another cost - is what March Hare Software's sales and marketing team focus on - but that doesn't stop anyone in the community helping the project by advocating on the CVSNT projects behalf.

CVS really is not anything at all like ClearCase, but it can be used to solve similar business problems - though usually with a very different process/workflow. There is more than one SCCM software system - mostly because different software does different things better - the best software for your SCCM system will depend on your business requirements. A few notes: * if you have a question about WinCVS ask the WinCVS mailing list not the CVS or CVSNT one http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/cvsgui * if you have a question about TortoiseCVS ask the TortoiseCVS mailing list not the CVS or CVSNT one http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=48103 * no GUI is a substitute for education - CVS is a powerful and complex piece of software. If you are going to rely on CVS for tracking changes you should buy a good book on the subject and read it thoroughly (eg: 'All About CVS' which I had a hand in writing, or 'Essential CVS' or one of many others). * Both TortoiseCVS and WinCVS come with extensive documentation (but I agree the WinCVS doccs are lacking volunteers to keep it up to date): http://www.tortoisecvs.org/help.html And http://www.wincvs.org/winhtml/wincvs11.htm * A major feature of free/open source software is that other people contribute, eg: http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2005-February/017168.html Describing the difference in documentation between a US$10,000.00 per developer licensed software and something you started using without so much as paying a dime is a little unfair - IBM wont even answer basic questions about ClearCase until you've also been through accredited training. If you spend as much on CVS as you (or more likely your employer) has spent on ClearCase you will find you have a valuable and powerful tool. Finally a few basic notes about choosing a SCCM tool - to choose software for a change management system you should have: 1) looked at your business requirements and identified specific measurable criteria to determine the success or failure of SCCM in supporting those requirements 2) chosen a SCCM methodology that supports those requirements and 3) determined that the SCCM methodology can be implemented in CVS effectively After you have implemented your SCCM utilising CVS and other tools you should: 4) continuously measure the criteria to determine the rate of success of the SCCM project 5) invest in your open source software by providing documentation, hours of coding and/or financial support for the software 6) upgrading the software to keep with current features 7) continue to study industry best-practice for how SCCM is helping other similar companies A support mailing list like info-cvs or cvsnt.support is ideal for helping you implement your methodology in CVS, but not at helping you determine the advantages and disadvantages of methodologies that are unimplementable in CVS. And any SCCM oriented mailing list is unsuitable to helping you determine your business goals. Even for a 'home' project you will still have objectives (or else you just wouldn't use SCCM software at all). A newsgroup more dedicated to generic discussion of SCCM is this one, though like all mailing lists it has its quirks: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.software.config-mgmt/topics?lnk=srg Note: some members do go on a lot about a web site 'cmcrossroads' - please be aware that 'cmcrossroads' is is by no means objective, just as any one person on this mailing list, or config-mgmt should not be considered objective. Remember: SCCM is an overhead. Or to put it more bluntly, SCCM is a cost. The reason why so many people do not like version control is that usually the costs outweight the benefits (Susan Dart previously of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute did some studies to document this I believe). CVS may be 'free' but SCCM will cost you - it will cost you every hour of every day. Investing some cold hard time (and probably cash) in good analysis of your business requirements, of SCCM methodologies, project management and finally tools and software will pay off in ensuring that your final system delivers measurable benefits that outweight the costs.

[cvsnt] Latest Updates - CVSNT 2.5.05 Build 3649 (RC1)
CVSNT 2.5.05 (Gan) Build 3649 (RC1) You can download this release from: http://www.evscm.org/modules/Downloads/#testrel I've rushed this out so that Torsten can include the latest release in TortoiseCVS.

Our builds are made on Mac OS 10.5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Windows 7 (using Visual Studio 2008). Windows XP SP2 is the OLDEST operating system we will address community bug reports for. As always we do not provide comprehensive release notes for community releases. If you want to know everything that has changed between your current release and this release - please look at the source code. We CAN and DO provide comprehensive release notes for our CVS Suite customers - because the development process is managed differently. Known bugs: --- On windows the hyperlinks in the advertising message do not work Latest documentation: --- http://www.cvsnt.org/manual_testing_2.5 Description: -- The first (and final?) RC of 2.5.05 was released today. This resolves all issues reported on support.cvsnt to date. Several developers, some employed by March Hare Software, regularly add features to the CVSNT_2_0_x branch of the source and March Hare Software irregularly create builds for testing (usually at least Red Hat Linux and Windows x32) which are checked with the test scripts in cvsnt/testcvs. A build is declared stable after that version has been running on cvs.cvsnt.org for a period of time with no reports of errors on the support.cvsnt newsgroup. 2009 is the 5 year anniversary of March Hare Software's sponsorship of the project - taking the project from before 2.0.51 through 2.0.6x, 2.5.01, 2.5.02, 2.5.03 and the current stable 2.5.04 and now stable 2.5.05 releases. In particular we have sponsored features including: failsafe audit, user-defined changesets (including merge by changeset), fine-grained access control (ACL) and distributed multi-site repostiories (write through proxy). The 2.5.05 releases are designed for community use, ie: the basis for testing and development by the open source community. In no way does anyone guarentee or warrant that this software is suitable for any commercial purpose. If you require a commercial grade / quality tested version control solution please purchase CVS Suite from the web site. There are several commercial GUI's and Visual Studio add-ins which work with CVSNT, however only sales of CVS Suite provide the funding for the project. Bug fixes and 'open source' support will only be provided for builds on the CVSNT_2_0_x branch. If you are maintaining a separate build (eg: debian) then it is this branch only that you should apply patches to. Release Plan: -- 2.5.05 will be the first release where unicode is the 'default' installation mode on windows. This has been activated on this the first RC release. If no issues are repo

[cvsnt] Help the CVSNT project
Due to continuing strong demand for CVSNT, low community participation and insufficient response to our numerous requests for people to volunteer to upgrade to CVS Suite we are reviewing our budget and specifically the Free Software Foundation's advice to us as to how we should fund the development: http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq1.asp#9c If you earn a wage and as a part of your wage earning activity you use any version of CVSNT (including embedded versions in WinCVS or TortoiseCVS): please alert your management to the benefits that using CVSNT has brought you and advise them to support the project by purchasing CVS Suite from £85 / €95 / $142 per person. http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/en.asp March Hare Software are the ONLY organisation that financially supports the CVSNT project and pays Tony's wage - other commercial 'CVSNT clients' do not financially support the project. Since 2004 March Hare Software are the ONLY organisation that has financially supported the project and provided the development resources for CVSNT, including the releases: 2.0.51, 2.0.58, 2.5.01, 2.5.02 and 2.5.03 as well as the 2.5.04 multi-site (with advertising) and the 2.5.05 release currently in final testing - all without charging any mandatory fees. The number of conversations I've had with people who say "I'd pay for CVSNT if there were more problems" or "I'd pay for CVSNT if I had no way to get it 'free'" are innumerable. At a philosophical level I personally think it is a no-brainer: if you only financially support companies who produce closed proprietary solutions or buggy free solutions then stable open source solutions will disappear and companies relying on them will be left in the lurch and poorer for it.

Devi, > Question: How do I correct the .pbg, v file on the server? > Can I just edit the file on the server, and manually add > the missing entries to the @@begin Objects section? The ,v files on the server are the repository history database. You should not ever even look at them let alone even think about possibly modifying them. They are just like an Oracle database - you use the client tools supplied to administer the server and nothing else. If you open your oracle database files in notepad and start messing around you can expect no help, lots of problems and possibly a curse on all your children. Ditto for CVSNT.

Re: [cvsnt] Connect PHPEclipse with CVSNT?

Our eBook 'All About CVS' contains extensive instructions on how to configure CVSNT for use with Eclipse - it's a big topic and not one that I am going to approach here. We do not discuss PHPEclipse specifically in the book, but eclipse is just eclipse. http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/features/book/en.asp Here is what some other people wrote on this newsgroup last year about the value of purchasing CVS Suite: Jan Keirse; Mon Nov 10 2008 "I would like to confirm this to everyone listening who hasn't bought the product yet.

And I'm not getting paid to say this ;-)" Andy Southby; Mon Nov 10 2008 "The ebook is invaluable and have to admit that I bought a personal copy of the last release just to get the ebook.

Check the manual so you are sure you understand what this command does/did: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/init.html Note: 'CVSROOT' 'CVS' 'CVSNT' 'root' 'Administrator' 'cvsadmin' are all reserved words and using them arbitrarily will result in undefined and unstable results. Repository aliases should always start with a 'slash'. How about calling your repository directory 'c:\myrepo'? How about an alias of '/opt/myrepo'? > I get this message: cvs init: Repository MyProjects initialized Yes - message is clear I think. > Error validating location: "Could not connect to > :pserver:@localhost:/CVSROOT: I/O exception occurred: > Connection refused: > /CVSROOT: no such repository" Yes - message is clear to me - you do not have a repository named /CVSROOT. Maybe you named it something else? Hint - the message you got when you initialised the repository does confirm the name you gave it was not '/CVSROOT'.

Re: [cvsnt] Workaround for 260 char limitation?
> > If you use the right API, you don't have that limiation anymore. > Yes that is already discussed in the bug that Stefan linked to. It's the Microsoft C Runtime (CRT) that is the problem. It is our intention to address this - certainly in the server, but when we look at the client we also need to look at TortoiseCVS, WinCVS and WinMerge at a minimum to ensure that we don't simply move the error from one component to another. TortoiseCVS and WinMerge are unlikely to require as many changes as CVSNT. If we are the ones to code it then the timeframe will come down to funding - if a customer with 500 licenses raises this as an issue it's likely to be prioritised. I'd be very interested to know in 'real world' cases how widespread this issue is and in particular: 1. is there a particular toolchain more likely to create this (eg: Eclipse/Java) 2. is this more common as a client or server issue (anecdotal evidence indicates it's more often a client issue) 3. is this also a problem in svn/git on windows? Is it already being addressed, or unlikely to be addressed? 4. can we determine if switching API's will have other positive or negative effects - eg: performance, compatibility with anivirus, etc etc 5. are we certain that MS are not going to address this in the CRT any time soon (MSVC 2010)? 6. should we combine this effort with a move towards asynchronous I/O (threaded) - I'm thinking more the client here than the server, but it's applicable to both. Implementing asynchronous I/O would mean that CVSNT would no longer stop on the 'first' error - ie: 'cvs up a b c d' - if 'b' fails then currently CVSNT stops leaving a updated but not c or d - but with asynchronous IO both a and c could be updated before b fails and d aborted 7. does anyone know if the Intel c++ compiler includes its own crt - and if so would be resolved (or another windows c/c++ compiler but not ming or gcc which are not viable) I've replaced the CRT stream library functions once before (many years ago) with another March Hare product (UD6) that was originally written for HPUX 10 and then ported to windows. After using the MS CRT for the first draft the performance was terrible, so we basically created our own stream I/O library for windows. However re-using this code in CVSNT would require investigating some licensing issues and also some design decisions that made sense for UD6 that probably doesn't make sense for CVSNT.

Re: [cvsnt] Creating new directory in master/slave server setup fails
Tony, I believe that Andreas has incorporated all the Debian 'fixes' into the 2.5.05 code, so it should be 'easy' to build a debian package now.

If you use CVSNT for any wage earning activity
then you need to be supporting the project either with your own documentatio,
code or financially - coincidentally enough if you spend a mere £85 on CVS
Suite you get much more reliable software and comprehensive documentation:

I don't think we've created a FAQ on this yet, but one is overdue. I have never worked in a professional IT department where two files or directories with identical names that differ only in case were ever stored in the same directory. We could probably write an entire operating system or application where every file and command was 'monica', just with different case combinations, but the converstations would be hilarious: Arthur: I've got a new monica.c for the mOnica project, how do I test it? Tony: Just compile monica and then put it into /MonicA and run it from there Arthur: I did that but it seems to be the old version Tony: You've copied it to /MOnicA then, you need to copy it to /monicA Arthur: Sorry is that /monicA or /MonicA Tony: My bad - should be /mOnicA Arthur: Can we try just calling it 'bin' instead? Tony: But this operating system is CASE SENSITIVE we should be able to use the same names! The philosophy that has always driven the CVSNT project is for feature to be included that help professional IT workers - professional programmers writing commercial software. Now to date noone has ever submitted a real-world scenario that really requires support for multiple files or directories to exist in the same directory that differ in name only by case, and if many people did then we'd probably spend more hours on it - as it is we already have a case sensitive driver for CVSNT on windows and also the case select switch on checkout - and that's more than I've seen in any other version control tool proprietary or open source (though since you work for CA - maybe you know what CA/Harvest does - one of the few SCCM tools I've not personally used). The 'case sensitive' driver is available at additional cost for customers who need both 'Hello.cpp' and 'hello.cpp' (which windows cannot usually provide). Contact sa...@march-hare.com if this is required, and include in your request: total number of people using CVS server and/or client, server OS, client OS, and locations (eg: 100 x Bangalore, 20 x Boston and 30 x Brussels). > > Is there any way to change the behavior by, say, the use of a > command-line switch? > Yes 'cvs co -S', see the manual: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/checkout.html#checkout-options Regards, Arthur Barrett ___ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt@cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Upgrade to CVS Suite for more features and support: http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/

Re: [cvsnt] write to fileattr.xml error when commit a file
Hi Wendy, > How is things going on? > Thank you for all the test sets - we have reproduced at least one of the problems, and are looking for ways to resolve it. There are several combinations: 1. CVSNT Chinese Client to CVSNT Chinese Server: Suite OK,2.5.05 FAIL 2. CVSNT Chinese Client to CVSNT Unicode Server: Suite FAIL, 2.5.05 FAIL 3. CVSNT Unicode Client to CVSNT Unicode Server: Suite OK,2.5.05 Untested We are looking at ways to fix (2) at the moment, it will take a few more days at least. We do not anticipate providing a fix for (1) in the community editions - from 2.5.04 we assumed that the community edition is ran as Unicode server in multi-charcter set environments. Method (3) probably works with the community 2.5.05 client and server, however I think that WinCVS and TortoiseCVS do not run CVSNT client in Unicode mode and have no option to enable this - so you could use it from the command like (cmd /u) using 'cvs --utf8' however that is all. I can confirm that method (1) works OK today with CVS Suite 2008.

My mistake - 2.5.05 does NOT have bug fix - that fix is only in CVS Suite 2008. The bug does say that, but my comments in the e-mail misled you. If you upgrade the client then it should work OK - the problem is that the 'old' client does not send the codepage to the server - so the server make some assumptions which can easily be wrong in a multi-character set environment. You should: 1) run 2.5.x server in 'unicode' mode and 2.5.x clients Or 2) run 2.0.x server and clients in the identical character set *may* work Or 3) run 2.5.x server and 2.0.x clients with the server and client configured for the same character set *may* work Either way you will almost certainly need to 'delete' the old fileattr.xml from the server. This *may* cause some things like renamed files and watch/edit to misbehave in the short term. Let the group know if you need more clarification.

Thanks for the report.
Looking at the code - this behaviour appears to be deliberately coded,
but certainly the manual doesn't make it clear.
If you use braces then the first character after the closing brace is
always discarded:
ALL cmd /c echo ${CVSROOT} 12345
I tested CVS 1.12.13 and it does NOT drop the first character.
So I propose:
* CVSNT 2.5.04 - no change
* CVSNT 2.5.05 - 1.12.13 behaviour
Bug number assigned 5722.

[cvsnt] Free Software philosophy and CVSNT.
I regularly catch up on the philosophy documents over at GNU.ORG, however just yesterday I found they had updated their 'free speech not free beer' statement with a new link: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html "Since free software is not a matter of price, a low price isn't more free, or closer to free." "Freedom is the issue, the whole issue, and the only issue." "Thus, if we want to increase the number of users in the long run, we should above all develop more free software. The most direct way to do this is by writing needed free software or manuals yourself. But if you do distribution rather than writing, the best way you can help is by raising funds for others to write them." If you earn a wage and as a part of your wage earning activity you use CVSNT: please alert your management to the benefits that using CVSNT has brought you and advise them to support the project by purchasing CVS Suite (CVSNT) for £85 / €96 / $121, or CM Suite (EVS) with support for SVN and CVS clients for £255 / €289 / $362 - annual support and software maintenance is also available. http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/en.asp With the forthcoming release of CVSNT 2.5.05 Tony and I are looking again at the best way to communicate the value of Free Software and the importance of funding the development to people using CVSNT. We will release a RC soon.

Re: [cvsnt] CVS Repository on Shared Network Drive?
RLA, > I wonder if i can add a network drive as a repository in > CVSNT 2.5.04 on a Windows 2003 Server. Most of the time this question is asked it is because the person asking does not understand how to share a repository among several users. You CAN have many people use a single repository. You can 'share' a CVSNT Server repository. Using a network drive is NOT the way. Your CVSNT Server is a powerful enterprise database containing your revision history/. The protocols (like NFS and Samba) that underpin the 'network drive' are unreliable and unsuitable for sustained high-bandwidth read&write. You cannot store an Oracle database on a network drive and neither can you store a CVSNT Server Repository on one.

Some people and some unscrupulous companies will try and convince you some other software, or a local cache is required - it usually is not. If you have performance problems then you need to fix the performance problem not patch over it with an inefficient cache. Since many many many people have been deceived by the need to pay for some local cache software we added that function to 2.5.04. I cannot stress enough just how unnecessary repository replication and caching is for 99.9% of organisations - if you are experiencing multi site performance problems there are probably much 'better' ways to fix it that using repository replication and caching.

[cvsnt] Help the CVSNT project
Hi All, In October 2008 and April 2009 I wrote blatant and unashamed sales pitches for people to support CVSNT by helping to pay programmer wages. Thank you to those who acted on my previous request however we are still short of our goal, so it's time for a reminder. We will be shortly releasing CVSNT 2.5.05 and CVS Suite 2009: * CVSNT 2.5.05 will use the latest libraries and compilers and be tested on the latest operating systems - we will continue to provide binary download packages for Windows XP/Vista/W7 and RHEL5 * CVS Suite 2009 will provide a new high performance server and we will provide evaluation copies for both the server and client for all supported platforms except iSeries As of today - when you purchase CVS Suite you now also get access to an installer for the 'free/open source' CVSNT 2.5.04 without the advertising message. If you have 50 staff using CVSNT we recommend that you purchase 50 CVS Suite licenses so you can use the quality tested commercial build - but if you have less budget then you can purchase less licenses then download and use the non-advertising CVSNT 2.5.04 build instead. We will not provide any commercial support or commercial documentation for CVSNT 2.5.04. March Hare Software have been financially supporting the open source project for over 5 years and provided many features to the core CVSNT software whilst continuing to provide the complete source code, including: Failsafe Audit, Fine grained Access Control (ACLs), reserved versioning (in addition to unreserved/concurrent), user defined change sets (bug id's), atomic commits (commit id's), multi-site repository replication (write through proxy) and many other features both minor and major. CVSNT 2.0.51, 2.0.58, 2.5.01, 2.5.02, 2.5.03, 2.5.04 (Multi-Site) and EVS 3.1.01 were all produced as a result of this financial support. Other commercial 'CVSNT clients' do not financially support the project, and some companies cleverly craft their software so that the most useful parts are 'wrapped around' the 'open source' parts so that they do not have to release the source code and can enforce payment terms, which we have made a conscious decision not to do. If you earn a wage and as a part of your wage earning activity you use CVSNT: please alert your management to the benefits that using CVSNT has brought you and advise them to support the project by purchasing CVS Suite (CVSNT) for £85 / €98 / $139 for each person in your team. Annual support and software maintenance is also available and so is CM Suite (EVS) which works with SVN and CVS clients for £255 / €294 / $419. http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/en.asp In Chris Anderson's book "Free: The Future of a Radical Price" he describes open-source projects like CVSNT as requiring a 5% take-up rate of the 'Premium Edition' to be economical. If only 1% of people downloading CVSNT from our own web site in 1 year bought 1 copy of CVS Suite we could quadruple our staff and provide much more innovation. Much other software you have to pay for well before you learn the limitations/problems; with CVSNT of course it's the other way around - but if people do not support the projects that produce the software they then rely on to do paid work, in future there will less choice and much less innovation. We are unwilling to take 'donations' due to the many differing legal and natural definitions for this in each country around the world - by purchasing one of our products we can continue to invest in development of Open Source Software. Here is what some other people wrote on this newsgroup last year about the value of purchasing CVS Suite: Jan Keirse; Mon Nov 10 2008 "I would like to confirm this to everyone listening who hasn't bought the product yet. I learned most of the things I know about CVS before I got the eBook and it took me ages. I can confirm that the eBook alone is worth the license fee, even without support it would. It saves numerous hours in finding out how everything works and how things can or should be done. The online manual is nothing compared to this! And I'm not getting paid to say this ;-)" Andy Southby; Mon Nov 10 2008 "The ebook is invaluable and have to admit that I bought a personal copy of the last release just to get the ebook. I'm not getting paid to say this either but a free copy of the 2008 version would be nice ;-)" You can e-mail sales questions to sa...@march-hare.com or call our sales team (numbers on the web site) or buy online: http://store.march-hare.com/ Your support of the project in the many ways that you do is always appreciated.

Re: [cvsnt] Regarding Folder level permission in CVS
Bo/Shouvanik, > Are you aware of the meaning of the C letter in the name CVS? > It means Concurrent, which implies co-operative development. That is incorrect - CVSNT are 5 letters, and that is all. Since about version 2.0.58 CVSNT has supported both reserved and unreserved versioning (-kx means 'reserved'). The CVSNT project has generally not limited it's features to those that support a particular ideology or methodology - rather to provide versioning tools that are useful for the widest number of people and processes. I know some people never updated CVSNT beyond 2.0.51 who strongly disagreed with our decision to support reserved versioning in CVSNT. I've rather taken lately to describing CVSNT as NoT CVS, I think it communicates fairly clearly that CVSNT is somehow related to CVS but does have considerably different features... >From my experience 'selling' CVSNT commercially - you can convince far more people to use concurrent/co-operative versioning if you let each team decide on what methodology works best for them. Eventually people on teams using 'reserved' versioning get to 'see' that teams using unreserved still get the work done and they can easily 'switch' without migration, losing history and other problems associated with using different tools for each process.

Re: [cvsnt] cvsnt - possible deadlock while tagging
Krzysztof, For detailed technical questions - like yours about specific lines of code and functions are best sent to the cvsnt-dev mailing list: http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt-dev/ Or nntp://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt-dev Be sure to refer to specific version numbers of source or version/build of binaries, and we prefer that testing/development be done on the latest 2.5.05 (branch CVSNT_2_0_x). Also it often helps if you can supply a 'real world' scenario where the problem can be reproduced using the command line client (if not a 'test' script - at least describe 'how').

[cvsnt] Latest Updates - CVSNT 2.5.05 Build 3489 (2nd)

This resolves all issues reported on support.cvsnt to date. Several developers, some employed by March Hare Software, regularly add features to the CVSNT_2_0_x branch of the source and March Hare Software irregularly create builds for testing (usually at least Red Hat Linux and Windows x32) which are checked with the test scripts in cvsnt/testcvs. A build is declared stable after that version has been running on cvs.cvsnt.org for a period of time with no reports of errors on the support.cvsnt newsgroup. This month is the 5 year anniversary of March Hare Software's sponsorship of the project - taking the project from before 2.0.51 through 2.0.6x, 2.5.01, 2.5.02, 2.5.03 and the current stable 2.5.04 and unstable 2.5.05 releases. In particular we have sponsored features including: failsafe audit, user-defined changesets (including merge by changeset), fine-grained access control (ACL) and distributed multi-site repostiories (write through proxy). The 2.5.05 releases are designed for community use, ie: the basis for testing and development by the open source community. In no way does anyone guarentee or warrant that this software is suitable for any commercial purpose. If you require a commercial grade / quality tested version control solution please purchase CVS Suite from the web site. There are several commercial GUI's and Visual Studio add-ins which work with CVSNT, however only sales of CVS Suite provide the funding for the project. Bug fixes and 'open source' support will only be provided for builds on the CVSNT_2_0_x branch. If you are maintaining a separate build (eg: debian) then it is this branch only that you should apply patches to. Release Plan: -- 2.5.05 will be the first release where unicode is the 'default' installation mode on windows. This will probably be activated on the first RC release. If no issues are reported with this build I will endeavour to produce the RC before end of July, with an aim for 2.5.05 stable before end October 2009.

A couple of observations: 1) it appears as though you are using :local: - this is really for developers only, but if you really know what you are doing then it is OK at this point, but not for much longer (we will be deprecating it soon). 2) Do you have access to the 'original' server? Can you checkout gmac-gdp.js_dealer in Trunk/HEAD and on the same branch? It's not at all unusual for CVS repositories to have corruption on branches/old revisions if they are accessed with :local: over a file share like Samba or NFS - it often goes for years without being detected (corruption is extremely rare/unheard of provided you do not use :local: and you store the repository on a 'local' physical hard disk).

For instance I would like to only allow the sserver protocol through my firewall, but for compatibility reasons I'd like to have the pserver protocol available on the home network. This could be achieved if I could let the pserver protocol handler listen on a different port than 2401, but keep the sserver protocol communicating on that port.

This is a known bug - it's been fixed in CVS Suite 2008 since January - but we haven't had the resources since then to do a new build of 2.5.05 : http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?tt=1&id=5495 Specifically you are interested in these changes: Checking in windows-NT/gss-ad/gss-ad.cpp; /cvs/cvsnt/windows-NT/gss-ad/gss-ad.cpp,v <-- gss-ad.cpp new revision: 1.13.2.2.10.1; previous revision: 1.13.2.2 done Checking in protocols/gserver.cpp; /cvs/cvsnt/protocols/gserver.c,v <-- gserver.cpp new revision: 1.4.2.32.4.5; previous revision: 1.4.2.32.4.4 Done See attachment id=1452: http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?tt=1&id=1452&action=view I've also created a bug to ensure we remember to backport it to 2.5.05: http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?tt=1&id=5599 > the build docs are out of date All the scripts used to create the builds we make available are in the tree.

Going to cvsnt.org does redirect to march-hare.com/cvspro which has a very prominent button for 'open source' which takes you to evscm.org (which is the cvsnt/evs homepage). Also as explained several times - we would like to hire additional staff to work on CVSNT/EVS and we can afford it even if only 1% of people who download CVSNT also purchase 1 license of CVS Suite. The shorter we fall of these figures the more we have to restrict our work to 'paying customers' or make arbitrary decisions about features that we cannot afford to actively maintain in the community releases - like secure protocols and auditing. But 1% of downloaders purchasing a single license is a very achievable goal - have you done what we asked and alerted your management to the benefits that using CVSNT has brought you and advise them to support the project by purchasing CVS Suite (CVSNT) per user for £85 / €96 / $133, or CM Suite (EVS) with support for SVN and CVS clients for £255 / €289 / $399 per user - an advised that annual support and software maintenance is also available?

HI Michael, > I am using TortoiseCVS version 1.6.14 as the client > installation which says it installs the following version of cvs: > > CVS version: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41a > (client/server) TortoiseCVS is a GUI not a client - CVSNT is the client used by TortoiseCVS. Version 2.0.41 is not supported (it's over 5 years old), please upgrade to 2.5.04. Upgrading from old such extremely old versions can be dangerous - I strongly recommend you uninstall rather than 'upgrade'. The easiest way to upgrade is to download the 'fat' installer from the main cvsnt download page - it includes TortoiseCVS, WinMerge, WinCVS etc or if all you want is TortoiseCVS you could get TortoiseCVS 1.10 from their own site which I think includes CVSNT 2.5.04. http://march-hare.com/cvspro/#downcvsnt Regards, Arthur Barrett ___ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt@cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Upgrade to CVS Suite for more features and support: http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/

Run regedit and delete the keys: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cvs HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cvsgui HKLM\SOFTWARE\March Hare Software Ltd HKLM\SOFTWARE\TortoiseCVS HKLM\SOFTWARE\SmartLoader Then install the 2.5.04 server and 'fat' client and try again.
