Re: CVS and Binaries
Ok its clear, that CVS is not for merging binaries.. But can I, theoretically, make my own wrapper which converts the binary into some sort of mergeable text (uuencode for example) which encodes binary before it gets into repository, and reverts ir back when file is checked out? I know it will take up more space, but less than keeping exact copy of each binary version. Sometimes we need to keep binaries in CVS.

Re: CVS, NFS Filesystem, and failover
Just FYI... I once had a CVS repository where the repo itself was NFS mounted from AIX and the server was on linux. Files were consistently getting corrupted, with strings of null characters being inserted. After much confusion, putting the repository on linux instead of NFS mounted from AIX solved it immediately. This was an NFS problem, not a CVS one, but it's something to be aware of when considering NFS mounting CVS repositories. -Fran ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

undo of "cvs commit -r rev"
Dear all, while organizing a cvs-repository, I set the revision number of a project to be 3.0 instead of 2.0 by issueing the command cvs commit -r 3.0 in the working directory. Is there any way to set back the revision to be 2.0? Or a way to undo the revision setting? I browsed the on-line CVS manual/book -- but could not get the idea out of it on how to do such an "undo".

update vs. checkout
We have just installed cvs and are finally starting to get a grip on how to use it. One conceptual problem so far update vs checkout. What is the real difference between the two? I orginally thought that checkout was the only way to get newly added directories (and create the local CVS subdirectories). Now, from this newsgroup, I see that there is update -d which seems very much like checkout. If you always wanted to update -d, is there any reason not to use checkout? Is checkout simply a 'convienient' way of saying update -d (or perhaps with some other switches) or is there a more fundemental difference?

Sure there's a fundamental difference. checkout will create a new sandbox if none exists, update -d won't.

What is > the real difference between the two? You can't update a sandbox until you've checked it out. If you run 'cvs checkout' on an already checked-out sandbox, it will revert and acutally do an 'update'. Update re-syncs your local sandbox with the repository, and checkout is used to get a new sandbox. In a typical 'cvs development cycle', you would do something like: 1. cvs checkout my_module -- get a new sandbox 2. [make some changes] 3. cvs update -- get any new changes from the repository, merging with local changes if necessary 4. cvs commit -- save local changes to the repository 5. goto 2 You only need to 'checkout' if you want to start over fresh. > I orginally thought that checkout > was the only way to get newly added directories (and create the local > CVS subdirectories).

True. I originally thought that update would not add the CVS directories (in the working set) at all, but with -d it will. I guess the real thing is update -d cannot add that *very first* CVS directory. > It never occured to me that you could use co as a synonym for up -d, > mostly because I always want -P in conjunction with -d on update, > but it sure looks like you can.

Re: CVS and Binaries
The uuencode format is an example of an ASCII-but-unmergeable format. In other words, after you've performed a merge between two or three uuencoded files, the output will likely be unrecognizable by the uudecode program. You're better off using something that's better suited to storing binaries. You can use CVS if you're dead set on using it, but you'll want to modify it. On September 16, 2001, I posted to this group a demonstration of one way to do this by swapping out CVS' built-in diff3-based merge algorithm with an extensible mechanism.

I can't get pserver to work either, "Connection refused" Whether it's "already dead", or if this is just a temporary glitch, these interesting times we live in bring to mind an idea I had awhile back, and which I'll mention now in case somebody wants to take the ball and run with it. (or maybe somebody already did?) It occurred to me that lots of GPL-ish licensed software is hosted in CVS servers run by companies which might someday cease to be. For example, what would happen if VA Linux (or whatever it's called now), and thus Sourceforge, suddenly disappeared? For any project of interest, somebody would probably have done a recent checkout, so what's really at risk is not so much the current state of the source code as the history, the tags, the branches, and all the CVS-ish information that is not included in a source tarball. It would be nice if there ware a simple way to replicate a repository. It occurs to me that it is almost possible to write a program to do this requiring no special setup on the server side. The only piece missing (I think) is a way to find all the files which are, or ever were, present in the repository. Assuming you had such a list of files, you could replicate a remote CVS repository in the following way: For every file on the list, do a "cvs log" This would give you a list of revisions, and all the tags. Then you could, one by one, check out (or diff) each rev of each file from the remote repository, and check it into a local repository. First do the trunk then create branch tags off the trunk, then do each branch, then create any branch tags off those branches, etc. Finally apply all the static tags. You'd have to worry about sticky options, and log messages too, of course, but, it is possible to write a script to do all this. The piece that's missing is the list of all files in the repository. "cvs rdiff -s -r 0" almost gets it, but not quite. I guess you could do something vaguely like for tag = every tag found by cvs log do "cvs rdiff -s -r 0 -r tag" >> filelist done little_awk_script < filelist | sort | uniq > newfilelist And get pretty close, reasoning that every file of importance would have been tagged with a static tag at one time or another, But that's pretty brute-forceful.

bad project name
I accidentally add a new project to my CVS repository. The name looks like this: myproj\src\include\utils.

Wincvs and cvs problem after daylight savings time change??
I have a strange problem. I use BOTH the command line version of cvs and wincvs (I like some of the features in both). I've been using both for a while now just fine.

As soon as I do something like, Status selection from Wincvs it says the status is Up-to-date and it changes the date of the entry by 1 hour and doesn't think the file is dirty.

This is a problem that happens somewhere in the date comparison. WinCVS uses the microsoft stat() function to retrieve the file timestamps from the filesystem. I suspect that stat() is doing a bogus adjustment for DST rather than retrieving universal values. I have an unconfirmed hypothesis that changing the routine to use some Win32 function to access the file time stamps could fix the problem. One way to reproduce the problem is simply to check out the files using WinCVS, and then flip your timezone setting.

I would add that instead of thinking of "checkout" you should think in terms of updates and commits. Before you start working on something, update your source.

more weirdness with wincvs and cvs
Hi All~ A couple of days ago a developer and I noticed the following weirdness with WinCVS and CVS. He was using WinCVS to check in his files. Once checked in, about 1/2 hour later I went to my sandbox and ran an update on a Unix box to pick up his changes. But, my update failed to pick up his changes. As an example, CVS was insisting that version 1.7 of a file was the latest when 1.9 (he had checked in multiple versions) really was. When I removed the directory and re-checked it out, CVS saw the light and gave me the proper versions of the files. Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

The way CVS behaves with deleted directories in the repository (which behavior is, imho, broken, but that's a whole other can of worms that really doesn't need opening right now) makes it such that any directory ever cvs added will be recreated on a subsequent cvs update of the sandbox even if the directory (and its contents) have been cvs deleted. -P makes those empty (and misleading) directories go away.

The server is definitely up - we moved it to a new network location on Friday and had some resulting routing issues, causing some hefty downtime then, but it should be back up. If you get a clearer idea of in what way the system is "down" for you (DNS won't resolve or goes to an older IP address, IP address can't be reached, IP address is reachable but connectivity is poor, or IP address connectivity is good but nothing's listening on port 80) then let me know and I'll look at it.
