my CVS on NT stopped working
Hi, (cross-posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'm using CVS 1.11.1p1 on NT 4.0 sp6a (CVS compiled from sources using cygwin). My CVS server is a Linux machine (also running 1.11.1p1). I had a module checked out ages ago and was working happily with it. Now I suddenly get the following error message: $ pwd ~/parapet/PPhead $ cvs -d parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot -t status Makefile - main loop with CVSROOT=parapet:/usr/local/cvsroot - Starting server: rsh parapet cvs server - Sending file `Makefile' to server /#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for `/usr/local/cvsroot/parapet/PPhead 'vs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/local/cvsroot/parapet/PPhead cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up - Lock_Cleanup() The jumbled up look of the error message is not an artefact of the mail software. It's really how it comes out. However, when I check out the module again somewhere else, everything works nicely. Even stranger, when I run cvs from in gdb, it works fine. I've tried to upgrade to cvs 1.11.2, but identical problems. Same problem when I use cygwin's cvs version that setup installs (didn't try to gdb trick there) Any ideas? Thanks!

Seems to me that your CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files are opened in text mode. See if you've changed the mount structure (i.e. mounted something in binary mode that was previously mounted as text). Also, since you've compiled cvs yourself, did you link it against automode.o? You may need to relink cvs to get it working.

RE: my CVS on NT stopped working
Hi Igor, -Original Message- From: Igor Pechtchanski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Kris, It looks like your Cygwin cvs sends a carriage return as part of the directory name. Seems to me that your CVS/Root and CVS/Repository files are opened in text mode. See if you've changed the mount structure (i.e. mounted something in binary mode that was previously mounted as text). yes! that was it. I didn't spot the CR. I've mounted d:\ as /home as text. However, for some reason HOME is set to /cygdrive/d/kris, which is mounted as binary. And there it goes wrong. If I cd to /home/kris/mymodule, everything works fine. It appears now that I have /cygdrive/d/kris as my home directory in my old /etc/passwd. Maybe it would be a good thing to remember people to update their /etc/passwd after upgrading cygwin? Also, since you've compiled cvs yourself, did you link it against automode.o? You may need to relink cvs to get it working. I didn't do anything special to compile CVS, just configure;make;make install. As it's working properly now, it doesn't look like I need to do anything specific. (Not that I know what automode.o is). Many thanks for the (very fast!) help!
