RE: problems with CVS on NT
Hi, ok here it comes. If I do the same as I described in the last mail, but this time I stop WinCVS and restart it, then it works. Which means, that somehow (win)CVS is keeping the file open. But how could this be? In fact when I do the whole thing from the command line it works out ok. It did'nt do it before probably beacause of another problem. So the culprit seems to be winCVS keeping the file open.

problem with WinCVS
Hi, I use the WinCVS and I want co one file from the repository and revise that, now we have to co all files in our repository to revise that one file. Is that possible to co only the one file. Thanks!!
Re: cvs-nserver 1.10.7.1: new direction for CVS-over-network development
As Alexey stated, it could be good to put a clear list of new features required for a next generation CVS network code. Here we use CVS every day (yes, even during suny sundays ;) and we are really happy with it! But (there is always a 'but') we have some concerns regarding network. We need something to improve the transmission of (big) files. I don't know the intrinsics of CVS but it would be really good if: - files are transmitted by incremental diffs (like rsync) - files are transmitted compressed on a per file basis (to avoid trying to compress kinds of files like jpegs) - the compression scheme may even extend to repository storage? (but this may be another topic) - keep in mind that there are WAN with BIG latency (here >300ms) and round-trips may kill us. (this is why we choose CVS instead of clearcase... clearcase on a laging WAN is really a disaster) I know these topics have already been discussed... but there is really something to do here. just my 2c...

To solve the problems and misunderstandings around this subject, what do you think about introducing a new built-in tag (say TRUNK) that does the same for the main trunk as a branch tag does for the branch (or should do...), namely always refer to the latest revision on the main trunk (TRUNK) resp. branch (branch tag), consistently in all suitable cvs commands? (I hope my understanding of branch tags is correct so far.) HEAD should then always refer to the latest revision in the branch resp main trunk the current working copy is based on and therefore it should not be allowed in cvs commands that directly work on the repository (like rdiff - don't know if it is already forbidden there). I think this would be clear and easy to understand (and to remember), consistent with the branch tags and it would be more flexible than the current solution as it offers an access to the latest revision on the main trunk from where you want..

WinCVS uses a DLL, rather than simply calling CVS.EXE, so until WinCVS is terminated, and dangling open files are still considered open by the system. What appears to be happing is that the locking code is leaving files open. However I haven't been able to find out how/why yet.

(I hope my understanding of > branch > tags is correct so far.) [smc] I like this idea, and have suggested this in the past. I have a patch which I believe makes HEAD work right for "cvs diff" and I have also made a patch at one time that introduced TRUNK that worked just like I wanted HEAD to work but didnt disturb the current behavior of HEAD. If anyone is interested in these patches, I can send them.(I'd post them again, but nobody was ever interested before, so I dont' want to waste the time to try to find them unless someone is actually interested.) -- steve

The thing I like about pserver is the fact that users can be mapped to system users and CVS records the non-system users. I haven't found a way to do this using SSH. However, if SSH were changed to set an environment variable to the remote user, the CVS server could be changed to use this info. SSH would then become an authentication agent in this scenario. Also, if SSH were enhanced to support SRP, the task of key maintenance goes away. Noel This communication is for informational purposes only.

How do I see a list of files being edited?
Title: How do I see a list of files being edited? Greetings all, Darn it, I had this working I thought, but now it isn't and I can;'t tell why. The goal: To enter a command (cvs editors?) and get a list of all the files which are someone is editing. The environment: I have a cvs repository on Solaris 2.5.1. For Unix development I access it via CVS 1.10, downloaded prebuilt from sunfreeware.com. For WinNT projects, the Unix box runs SAMBA, and I access it via CVS 1.10, the command line version for NT. I have "cvsread=true" in my environment, my sources are read-only until I do the "cvs edit" command, then the read-only attribute goes away. The behavior: It works fine on the Unix projects. But when I run "cvs edit" on a file, and then run "cvs editors", the command produces no output. Wait!, I just tried it again, and it works this morning! E... Caveat: I've used RCS under MS-DOS pretty extensively in a former job, but never used Unix or CVS until just recently. Question: Well, since it works this morning, I'm not sure what my question should be. Anyone have any comments on all of this?

How to host a CVS server over Internet?
Hi - Does anyone have recommendations on how to set up a CVS hosting server over the Internet for a small group of widely distributed developers? I have a LAN with a Redhat Linux server running PSERVER with Win98 clients and connect to the Internet via a Cisco675 router. It runs great locally and and it seems like I have the pieces (except for a static IP address) to enable others to access it via the Internet. However, I'm not sure of the best way to get this connected nor do I necessarily want to spend a lot of time maintaining it. I'm thinking that a Virtual Private Network is probably the way to go but perhaps there are better solutions. I'd like to get the system up as quickly as possible and would be willing to work with an affordable hosting or consulting service to get it done. In other words, I welcome and and all suggestions!

Re: modules with lots of files
I was hoping no one would ask me that ;-) I'm trying to migrate from a LOT of old legacy code, including a lot of perl4 wrappers, text database files that do something similar to tagging a list of files for code revisions, and a hacked up version of CVS 1.3. I'd like to move them to a straightforward development system with 1.10.8, and doing something like this with modules is the best way for me to get them straightened out in a relatively short and painless way. Although I agree that restructuring the repository might be better, I think that project may be a lot more difficult then it is worth for the time being. Hopefully that would be a next step after cleaning up what is there. Are there any other problems I may run into doing something like this, as long as the module files were well maintained when adding or removing files from a set? thanks, David Larry Jones wrote: > > David writes: > > > > I need > > to be able to list several thousand files in a module, and can not > > simply recurse a directory because some files may belong to another > > logical set. > > I think you need to rethink the organization of your repository. > > -Larry Jones > > What's the matter?

Re: CVS access using SSH
I decided to get into the CVS code myself and look around as to what could be happening. Here is what I have found. I'm not certain how to fix this or if it can be fixed, but could someone tell me if I'm on track or way off base. In looking at the file client.c, it seems that CVS is using CVS_RSH, CVS_Hostname, and CVS_username to create the SSH command that is then executed automatically, assuming that CVS_RSH is equal to SSH. However, in order to make CVS work properly, you must set CVS_hostname equal to cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net. SSH requires that cvs_hostname must be simply projectname.sourceforge.net. It would seem to be a simple process to remove the "cvs." from the hostname prior to executing the SSH command. If this isn't correct for all users, maybe add a switch or option flag to CVS to indicate whether this should be done or not. I'll check with Sourceforge as well.

Re: CVS access using SSH
A more general solution (that wouldn't break anyone's setup) would be to introduce another variable. If this variable's set, use it, otherwise, use CVS_Hostname (or however it's capitalized).

The most significant modification of original code is the removal of about 600 lines from server.c, yet it is still way, way too long. There is an obvious task to improve server.c by splitting kerberos- and GSSAPI-related code from it thus creating cvs-kserver and cvs-gserver. There is probably also need to create cvs-sslserver (I have not investigated yet whether we could get along with ssl-tunnel'ed server (we surely can not get along with ssl-tunneled client as it almost has nothing to tunnel)).

Re: CVS access using SSH
That would certainly work too. I tried setting CVS_Hostname, both in Autoexec.bat and by forcing it in the code, but these didn't work as it is apparently used other places.

Here is what I have found. I'm not certain how to fix this or if it can be fixed, but could someone tell me if I'm on track or way off base. In looking at the file client.c, it seems that CVS is using CVS_RSH, CVS_Hostname, and CVS_username to create the SSH command that is then executed automatically, assuming that CVS_RSH is equal to SSH. However, in order to make CVS work properly, you must set CVS_hostname equal to cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net. SSH requires that cvs_hostname must be simply projectname.sourceforge.net. It would seem to be a simple process to remove the "cvs." from the hostname prior to executing the SSH command.

Updating a module with revisions based upon a release tag from another module.
I have checked out a module into my work area. I would like to check additional files into the same directory structure where the module was created, overwriting some of the files that are there. For example, I check out to my work area module XYZ based upon a release tag of YYY. I then would like to check out from another module, PDQ, (with the exact same directory structure) files with a release tag of ZZZ. The ZZZ files are configuration files that are used to set environment variables such as Development, Test, Production, etc. The way that the process is currently done is to tar the PDQ work area and then untar it over the XYZ work area. This is time intensive when it needs to be accomplished 8 different times for the various enviromental settings. Can't the tool accomplish this?

It looks like the cvs server returns a permission to apply locally by the client, but I don't know why and on which basis. It would take someone who knows the protocol to know why suddenly the server is returning some permissions to apply locally. I noticed that for my internal cvs server : it doesn't do that while for the WinCvs server, it does. Both run cvs-1.10.8.

The problem seems to be with WinCVS (maybe related to tcl/tk string parsing?). Things work fine on the command line. I added a file called "long name.c" (note space in file name) to a CVS test project. I then checked in 2 changes to get a rev. 1.3. I then used the below command to change the message log via the command line and via WinCVS. * command line * Here is the exact command and its output: D:\CVS\palm\test\sb1\test>cvs admin -m 1.3:"Made sec. change" "long name.c" RCS file: /home/cvs/test/long name.c,v done * WinCVS * cvs admin -m 1.3:"Made second change" "long name.c" *CVS exited normally with code 1* cvs admin: while processing more than one file: cvs [admin aborted]: attempt to specify a numeric revision Olaf P.S.

Re: CVS access using SSH
You are correct in that "cvs server" is at the end of the command, but it's the command executed by CVS (on the client side) that is the problem in that it autocreates the format. And I can't change how it looks. CVS creates the following command, which doesn't work: ssh cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net -l username cvs server About the only way to make this work is to place my public/private key on the cvs.projectname.sourceforge.net server and hope that works. I'm looking into this as well. Thanks for the help.

NEW - UNKNOWN HOST
I am using WIN NT to login to a LINUX CVS SERVER when I type CVS LOGIN at the c prompt I get a "UNKNOWN HOST" error. I have everything set up according to the documentation, and I can ping my host machine so I'm not sure what the problem is. Has anyone solved this when they started using cvs from NT environment?
