Re: Standard directory tree model
CVS just versions files. It doesn't really care how you organise those files. A word of caution, though, moving versioned files is a pain when using CVS so put some thought into where you put them before adding them to the repository.

[help] cvs rm -f question
Dear all, I'm a newbie to cvs, please excuse me if my question is in FAQ. My problem is: - i have a local cvs server - after checking out a project, many changes has been made - because the changes include deleting files from the project, i must have used "cvs rm -f [filenames]" - unfortunately, instead of this command, i used "cvs rm -f" (without any file names!), and all files in the project directory are accidentally removed :-( Please help me recover deleted files, if it is possible.

I know with the linux and OSX system that I use comment files are always shown by having the # in front of it. Is there a way to make this possible using cvs?? the problem that the developer presented to me is pasted below.

Re: Symlinks and CVSROOT
This command was working last week. The only known change is that the repository was copied to another disk yesterday because of disk space problems. And that's the cause of the problem. CVS doesn't like it when CVSROOT is a symlink rather than a real directory. You may be able to use some kind of loopback mount rather than a symlink. If not, you'll have to change everyone's CVSROOT or live with the things that don't work. -Larry Jones My system uses links to the CVS repository, and I have never had a problem with the links. The repository resides on a LINUX computer and is accessed via pserver from both LINUX and MS computers. This is a RAID box that also has my home directory on it. At the moment the repository is in my home directory for ease of maintainablity. There is a soft link at /usr/local/cvs that points to my directory. I have already tested moving it and just changing the soft link. On my system this all seems to work great.

I do not know of any inherent size limits in CVS, someone else could well give you a better answer to that, but the message you are getting appears to be a system error, not a cvs error. HTH This looks like a standard Unix error message, so it is happening on the CVS server, and CVS is complaining that there is no space left on whatever device it is using at the time. If you can log into the server machine, you can probably get a listing of available disk space with df -k. There are two devices to note in particular, the one where the CVS repository lives and the one where /tmp lives. If not, ask the person who administers that to check those. The last time I had that problem, it turned out that some broken connections were filling up /tmp with outdated CVS files, and so the admins set up a cron job to use find to remove files from /tmp that were more than two days old. I can supply more details if you need them. If the repository is full, which I would guess from the error messages below, then you'll need to either get a bigger disk or clear out more space on the one it's on.

Hi We are currently running cvs version 1.10.7 on linux 2.2. We want to upgrade to version 1.11.2 of cvs. I would like to know if the following steps of upgrading is correct: 1.I have downloaded cvs-1.11.tar.gz 2.Type on commandline: gunzip cvs-1.11.tar.gz 3.Type on commandline: tar xvf cvs-1.11.tar.gz 4.Type on commandline: cd cvs-1.11 5.Type on commandline: ./configure 6.Type on commandline: make 7.Type on commandline: make install Do I need to set up everything again (the whole cvs)? Or will the existing repository and users acces etc still be ok? (I don't want to break anything!)

Corrupted files in ATTIC
Tools: Linux 2.4 (red hat 7.1) CVS 1.11.1p1 I have some files in Attic directories that have their 'state' set to 'Exp' for the head revision. The revision prior to the head revision has the state set to 'dead'. For example: 1.5 date2002.01.14.14.42.52;author foo;state Exp; branches; next1.4; 1.4 date2001.11.19.13.46.18;author bar; state dead; branches; next1.3; I'm not sure how this happened (well, several people have write access to the repository), and I would like to know if there is a way to fix the problem using cvs commands (of course, I'd rather not delete the latest revisions using 'cvs admin -o'). Is my only option to simply edit the ,v files? If so, then will changing the state from 'Exp' to 'dead' make the files valid, or is there some side effect I'm not seeing? By the way, I'm using CVS 1.11.1p1 now, but during the life of the repository, we have used 1.11 also.

CVS vs VSS
We are just beginning to use CVS for our project development and there has been a little friction from users who have used Microsoft Visual Source Safe before. I have somehow become the source of information for CVS and I am looking for answers to a few complaints I have received. First, one of the biggest complaints is that when tools are used within our IDE (JBuilder) to refactor code, files may be moved and deleted. The problem is that when a commit is made, the new files are not automatically added and the old files are deleted locally, but not in the repository. I know there are plenty of manual ways to do it, but the argument being used is that this approach will not scale as we add more developers and the repository will be filled with old files and lack new files. Second, is there a way to compare all of local files with all of the files in the CVS repository and get a list of files out of sink, files that exist locally and not in the repository, and files in the repository and not locally? Third, what happens when a file is moved in the repository and someone with a local copy does an update? Does their local file get deleted? If not, do they have to delete it manually? Fourth, can you control who controls can write to what files? What type of permission control can be added? Basically, the biggest two problems are lack of control and lack of tools to automate processes. If I could solve these problems, then it might be acceptable. We are using a combination of Win CVS and Tortoise CVS. There is a tool for JBuilder that provides much of this integration, but only comes with the enterprise version ($3000). I would appreciate any answers or places where I can find answers. Thanks, Aaron

Re: CVS vs VSS
Aaron Kelley writes: Second, is there a way to compare all of local files with all of the files in the CVS repository and get a list of files out of sink, files that exist locally and not in the repository, and files in the repository and not locally? cvs -nq update Third, what happens when a file is moved in the repository and someone with a local copy does an update? Does their local file get deleted? If not, do they have to delete it manually? The local copy gets deleted unless it's been modified -- if it's been modified, it's up to the user to decide what to do. Fourth, can you control who controls can write to what files? What type of permission control can be added? You can use normal filesystem permissions to control access on a per- directory basis. People need read and execute permission on the directory (and read permission on the files) to read stuff, they also need write permission on the directory (but not the files) to commit changes, add tags, etc. If you do want to allow read-only users, you'll need to use LockDir= in CVSROOT/config to put the lock files somewhere other than in the repository since read-only users still need to be able to create lock files. -Larry Jones Mom would be a lot more fun if she was a little more gullible. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: Organising tags for an automated build system
Andy,
Use the -F option with tag or rtag to Move tag if it already exists.
cvs tag -F -r rev tag [files...]
like
cvs tag -F -r HEAD AUTOMATED-BUILD [files...]
Use tag for updating tags of files in your work area
or use rtag for updating tags of all [files...] in the repository.
Usage: cvs tag [-bcdFflR] [-r rev|-D date] tag [files...]
-b Make the tag a branch tag, allowing concurrent
development.
-c Check that working files are unmodified.
-d Delete the given tag.
-F Move tag if it already exists.
-f Force a head revision match if tag/date not found.
-l Local directory only, not recursive.
-R Process directories recursively.
-r rev Existing revision/tag.
-D Existing date.

Subject: RE: Organising tags for an automated build system
If I use a date-based tag format like AUTOMATED-BUILD_{DATE}
I end up writing scripts that figure out which tag is the
most recent tag
for every module.
If I use a general tagname like AUTOMATED-BUILD I think I need
to remove such a tag before a new one is created ? Or does
cvs automagically
assumes that I need the most recent one ?
I've always had to embed the date in the tag.
In addition, I may have a floating tag without a date,
but it has to be moved.
I *wish* that CVS would allow multiple instances of the
same tag for a file. I would use the latest, or,
if I have a non-current version checked out, possibly
the most recent tag.
I.e.
for a tag that occurs multiple times in the same file
select
* most recent version of that tag on the main branch
* most recent version of that tag on a specified branch
* most recent version of that tag on a specified branch
(or its ancestors)
that is older than a given version or time.
* ... newer
* most recent version of the tag on any branch
... newer/older
I spend an awful lot of time trying to figure the above out
from the log myself.
I *wish* that CVS recorded the date/time at which a tag was
applied.
However, this doesn't obviate the need for creating a tag
that has the date or something else tying it together...
Most of us create our own script for that.

RE: CVS generates new files
Rasmus,
In http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC152 under
A.16.2 update output for the C status, it states:
CVS protects you by keeping an unmodified copy of your file
in your working directory, with the name `.#file.revision'
where revision is the revision that your modified file started from.
On a Redhat7.3 they must be using `file~revision~` for the
backup copy. Since it ends with a tilde (~) a cvs add should
ignore the files.
If you modify a file in your work area and do a cvs update of the
file with someone elses changes being merged into it you may be
happy someday that you have CVS creating backup files for you.
If the update created a lot of conflicts in your file and you
wished you had not done the update, you have something to fall
back to. I suggest ignore the file or set up a crontab to remove
the tilde files from time to time.
On our system the files are named using `.#file.revision` and I
clean my Master Build Library (MBL) once a month to remove these
files that are over one month old with the following cron entry:
# --- clean CVS build area .#* files first day of the month
30 11 1 * * find /sdhs_code/MBL/alpha /sdhs_code2/MBL/sco -ctime +30 -name
'\.#*[0-9]' -exec rm -f {} \;
You could look for files that end with a tilde (-name '*~')

Subject: CVS generates new files
cvs has began to generate new files when I run cvs update or cvs
checkin.
Fx. I have a file, helloworld in version 1.7 in my working catalog,
and the file is newer on the server. When I run cvs update, the file
helloworld is beeing merged with the file on the server, but the old
version (1.7) is copied to a new file automatically:
helloworld.~1.7~
(in my working catalog).
Also when I checkin the helloworld file, a new file is
generated in my
working catalog: helloworld.~1.7.~.
Why that? I don't want all these extra files. How can I avoid them?
I use Redhat7.3, cvs-1.11.1p1-7, xinetd.
Thanks!

failing login to remote server
I did identical reinstalls of ssl and ssh on both the hpux (test700c) and linux (aster) machines as I discovered there was a problem getting into aster. The current status is I can ssh from aster to test700c. I can ssh from test700c to aster. but cvs still craps out (aster to test700c). I've tried pserver and ext.
