Here's what the current development version of the manual says:
If your system uses xinetd instead of inetd, the procedure is slightly
different. Create a file called '/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver' containing
the following:
service cvspserver
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver
}
(If cvspserver is defined in '/etc/services', you can omit the port
line.)

viewing the history
I've been using cvs history -e to view the all the activities made to my repository. However, it seems it only shows transactions made with the current user ID (mine) and not those made by other people. For example, when I do a 'cvs history -e', I get this: [dislam@caiprs CVSROOT]% cvs history -e O 2002-04-12 15:18 + dislam CAIPRS =CAIPRS= remote/* T 2002-04-12 15:18 + dislam CAIPRS [CAIPRSMain:A] T 2002-04-12 15:19 + dislam CAIPRS [CAIPRS7670:CAIPRSMain] T 2002-04-12 15:20 + dislam CAIPRS [CAIPRS7770:CAIPRSMain] O 2002-04-15 13:25 + dislam [CAIPRS7670] CAIPRS =branch= remote/* But when I view the CVSROOT/history file, I see activities by another user, melgemai: [dislam@caiprs CVSROOT]% more history O3cb6fab5|dislam|remote/*0|CAIPRS||CAIPRS T3cb6fadb|dislam|remote|A|CAIPRSMain|CAIPRS T3cb6fb1c|dislam|remote|CAIPRSMain|CAIPRS7670|CAIPRS T3cb6fb42|dislam|remote|CAIPRSMain|CAIPRS7770|CAIPRS O3cbad4e5|dislam|remote/branch|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|branch O3cbadfc9|melgemai|remote/*0|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|CAIPRS O3cbadfc9|melgemai|remote/*0|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|CAIPRS O3cbadfc9|melgemai|remote/*0|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|CAIPRS O3cbadfc9|melgemai|remote/test|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|test O3cbae1e6|melgemai|remote/test|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|test O3cbae1fe|melgemai|remote/test|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|test O3cbae383|melgemai|remote/test|CAIPRS|CAIPRS7670|test Therefore, how should I run the 'cvs history' command so that it shows the entire history (i.e. for all users) in a readable format, similar to when I do a 'cvs history -e'?

synchronizing local with repository
Hi, I'm trying to automate the following: Commit all modified files. Add all files present locally but missing from repository.

I'm trying to eliminate as much human error as possible due to developers forgetting to keep the repository consistent with their local environments. I'm assuming that this is possible with cvs. Is it possible to achieve this with existing cvs commands or will I have to add intermediary stages e.g. generate a list of all files requiring adding and then iterate over the list adding each one.

You should get a list of files requiring addition, or you'll get alot of annoying warnings. It's better to not generate errors than to generate ignorable errors :) You could take the output of 'cvs -n update', and for each line beginning with '? ' do a 'cvs add rest of line', then 'cvs commit -m $1' ( assuming you're getting input from the developers on commit messages ... ) This is one way that may work, I'm sure there are others ( maybe more direct than parsing the output of 'cvs -n update' ).

Re: synchronizing local with repository
I would recommend use the following command: cvs -n release dir The release command checks that no uncommitted changes are present. It indicates that a directory is no longer in use and safely cancels the effect of cvs checkout. Use the global "-n" option so that release will not actually do anything, but only report all uncommitted changes. -Anjali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to automate the following: Commit all modified files.

update -C option says locally updated
Hello, I have been using CVS quite successfully for sometime now. I have been using wincvs as a front end. Last time when I used update with get clean copies option (-C) it moved most(do not know if all) files to .#filename_revision stating it is locally modified. I know I have not modified most of these files. Later when I tried to update, update failed on one file or other stating it is not possible to modify one of the .#filename_revision files. Why CVS does this?. Is this normal?. Where can I find detailed description of how -C option works?.

Managing multiple changes and branches
My question is regarding the best way to use CVS to manage different changes to a project. Our project has recently reached a maintenance phase, so we have a few people working on bug fixes and small enhancements and we have another couple of people working on one major enhancement. So everybody needs access to the repository, however we don't want the major enhancement to affect the maintenance team's work. At the same time, it would be nice if the enhancement team could be up to date with the maintenance team's work. What we thought is we would create a branch for the enhancement, and let the maintenance go along like normal. The problem with that is that in a test repository, I could not get the branch to be able to get the changes from the trunk. The answer may be to use the branch for the maintenance work, but in order to not get enhancement code into regular production builds, we would have to maintain the single branch until the time when the enhancement is finished and they can be merged. The manual seems to warn against using this approach in favor of just creating new branches. Our only requirement is that the enhancement code not affect the maintenance code, yet the enhancement code needs to be up to date with the maintenance code. Did I make any sense at all? How have other teams approached this scenario? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you. matt. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

The cvs rdiff -rrevA -rrevB syntax handles this problem correctly, going from revA to revB even if from trunk to branch. As long as point A is an ancestor of point B, then there is only one way to get to B from A. But rdiff doesn't care whether A is an ancestor of B or not, it compares *any* two revisions. The complication is determining whether A is an ancestor of B, B is an ancestor of A, or neither is an ancestor of the other. Granted. I agree that the problem is not trivial.
