Re: Standard Styntax for TAG

[Muhammad Shakeel]

Thanks for the information, but there should be a version number of the module
in case of release level tag. I designed the following syntax. Any comments/suggestions
?
Release Tag Syntax:    
Rel_ProjectName_x_y_State
e.g.
Rel_Mpeg4_1_0_Final
 Branch TAG Syntax:
B_ BranchName_ProjectName_ TAGName_State
e.g.
B_ Group2_ H263_TestOK
Devoper TAG Syntaz:
ProjectName_TAGName_State
e.g.
Mpeg4_Test1OK_Alpha

I don't know of any universal standards, but I try to enforcethe following on projects I am involved with.Also, I have several scripts, like cvs-make-branch,that automatically mandate some of these"standards".All branches should have "branch" in them,e.g. the branch tag should be suffixed   	*--branchAll branches should have a tag "branch-base" associated with the contour they branched frome.g. the branch tag, suffixed   	*--branch-baseLess often, but more and more recently,I use the words "contour" to distinguish tags that identify a self consistent set of versionse.g. some meaningful name suffixed	*--contourI nearly always want to have the date and timein my tags. I indicate this as	*---MM-DD-HHhMM--*I only use local time at the moment, althoughhave been forced to use GMT in the past.I only do not put the year and date  a) 
for floating tags	e.g. regression-test-latestalthough for such floating tags I usually havea timestamped version	e.g. regression-test-2002-05-17-16h10or b) for long-lived tags, typically branches,e.g.	windows-branchvs	linux-branchHowever, overall I find long-lived branches a bad idea,and prefer to unify them via the build system.I more often regret not having the timestamp in a branch tagthan I regret having it in a tag.At the front of a tag, of course, I try to put something meaningful.I have learned that it is best to put the most distinguishing partof the tag first rather than last, so that name completion toolswork well  --- e.g.   meaningful-text--2002-05-17-16h20--branchrather than tag-2002-05-17-16h20--branch--meaningful-text.I have tried to enforce naming conventions wrt merge points,where other branches are merged in, but have never found a goodone.

This is because you do not have write permissions for that
directory.  I don't know why you wouldn't, and there are several
possibilities.  Are you supposed to have full or read-only access
there?  What access method are you using?  Do you have a real
account on the server machine?  What OS is the server running?
Is the administrator using Unix groups to control access, or
ACLs?

Derek,

It is hard to be certain, but your message leaves me with the impression
that you were looking at an older version of the patch.  There
are several versions at the web page, you want the latest version,
which is currently editCheck-25feb2002.diff:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=471046&group_id=4680&atid=304680

The 25feb2002 version includes much of what you ask for: sockPlayer
is gone completely, (you can always get it out the older version if
you want [might be useful when overhauling the test
suite??]), and the patch itself is split into logically seperate
subpatches within the file.

Take your time - as Noel said "Hey, so long as it's not being
ignored outright ...".  Thanks for looking at it, though...

Are you sure your CVSROOT variable was pointing to the test

If taginfo did not change in your test repository, then it sure sounds 
like it got commited to some other repository...

Try to enable the 'Logout automatically after:' option

When using ssh you don't do "cvs login", that's only for the pserver
protocol.

Try, from Linux, the command "cvs version", you should get the version
of cvs running as client and the one running as server (this last one
uses ssh, so it should prove that the setup is working.)  The result
is something like this:

  $ cvs version
  Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server)
  Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)

To test ssh, just make sure that CVSROOT starts with :ext: , and don't
do login.

As long as you cvs add & commit the new file from within a work tree
pulled 
from the branch, (i.e. cvs co -r BRANCHNAME or cvs up -r BRANCHAME),
then
CVS will know to add that new file specifically to the branch.  

The new file will get placed into the Attic and only exist on the branch
- 
source pulled from the main trunk will not contain the new file.

Hi all,

We are currently working on a branch called ZONE to add some new
features. This development will take a long time and we wouldn't
disturb the other teams working on the trunk.

So on this branch we have to delete some files and to create others.
For the delete operation, no problem the files will be deleted during
the merge but how can we add some new files ONLY on this branch for
the moment without they appear in the trunk for the others until we
decide to merge de branch ?

Thanks in advance

Diffing previous revision

[Vince Rice]

I am constantly needing to diff a source file against
the previous revision.  That currently means I have to
do a log/rlog to determine the previous revision, then
do the cvs diff.

Is there a way to do this automagically, i.e. be able
to say "previous revision" in the -r, without having
to do the log/rlog?  And if there's not, would someone
consider it as an enhancement request?

Perhaps
  cvs diff -r PREV source.c
or something.

It probably means that you forgot to do

  ^^^ 

to tell cvs that you're adding this file to the repository.  Also
possible is that you've misspelled the filename or that you're in the

to me (i could report this as a bug, cause cygwin's \r\n-conversions are

problem when using shell script to checkout huge binary files (>70MB)

[Veronica Zhu]

Hi,

I use Java Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to execute a shell script.
This shell script does cvs checkout of project repositories 
into user directories for web based file browsing.

It works great for all files EXCEPT huge binary files whose size is
about 70 Mega Bytes. The directory, which should contain those 
large files, was checkout as an empty directory. (No errors observed.)
However, at the same time, other directories with smaller files 
were checkout normally with expected files.

It doesn't look like the Java problem, because I can use the
same Java function to execute a shell script that copy the huge
file from one folder to another one. Well, cvs checkout
works OK for the large files when doing so in win-cvs windows.
The server is Red Hat Linux 7.1 and uses 
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server).

I have searched mailing-list of cvs with no luck.
Any one has any ideas ? 
Any input will be greatly appreciated!!

Veronica

Read section 2.9.3.1 of the Cerderqvist CVS manual.  Then you may want
to get a copy of htpasswd (from the Apache httpd server distribuiton)
or an equivalent tool (search for cvspasswd) to generate / manage that
file.

Cvsweb has nothing to do with this.

That means: don't show files names ".cvspass" or "passwd" in your
listing.

RE: possible bug

[Josh Grebe]

Jeremy,
I was having a cvs problem and saw your post to info-cvs mailing list. I
was having exactly the same problem, where I could do any operation but a
checkout. I used truss to determine that cvs was for some unknown reason
trying to access the directory of my cvsroot on the local solaris box!
Which in my case was inside /home, which Solaris does stupid tricks with.
My solution was to umount /home (even though there wasn't anything mounted
there). It looks like you could also change your cvsroot path to something
outside /home.
If you use truss:
truss cvs checkout [module]
the last line I got is:
readlink("/home/cvs", 0xFFBEF7C8, 1028) (sleeping...)

I think that /home gets borked again on reboot though.

win2k pro and wincvs and ssh

[Ming the Merciless]

I can connect fine via ssh and can do my work, however, any time I execute a
command it keeps the dos window open until I close it manually. I read an
article about ssh and how it doesn't close the connection under certain
circumstances. Anyone know how to make the dos window exit after the command
is run?

AW: Modifying a repository

[Ellgoth, Hubert]

Thanks for your help.
Your suggestions are understood so far.
One more question:
What administrative files are affected - surely the "history"-file and the
"val-tags"-file. Is there another one?
And, how have i to modify for example the "history"-file? The information
stored there is separated with "|"-bars. Some of these information are
understandable for me, some not.
Larry, you said that i only have to merge the contents - does that mean
that the information stored in the "history"-file, for example, are
"one-way"-couplings, only affecting the working directories so that these
are o.k. if i check out the new repository to a new working directory?
And that it is insensible to the sequencing of lines?

[BRANCH] How add a new file on a branch ?

[Matthias VIRY]

Hi all,

We are currently working on a branch called ZONE to add some new
features. This development will take a long time and we wouldn't
disturb the other teams working on the trunk.

So on this branch we have to delete some files and to create others.
For the delete operation, no problem the files will be deleted during
the merge but how can we add some new files ONLY on this branch for
the moment without they appear in the trunk for the others until we
decide to merge de branch ?

Thanks in advance

Bye

Matthias

I followed instructions at http://www.geektimes.com/macintosh/os/x/and/cvs_install.html
but when I login the server responds:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to localhost:2401 failed: Connection refused

Any idea or helpful links?

My apologies Caroline, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not answer CVS
help requests.  Please use the public [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list or,
if you are in a hurry, would like to guarantee a discussion with one of
the registered CVS developers, or if you would simply like to help

purchasing a CVS support contract from Worldwide Information
Technologies, Inc. .

Thank you for your time.

You mean cvs-1.11.2.tar.gz

It's tar xvf cvs-1.11.2.tar
or do 2 and 3 in one step: tar xzvf cvs-1.11.2.tar.gz

Test the new program before installing (run at least src/cvs
--version, and src/cvs version);

Also at this point you may want to disable access to cvs (from other
people in perhaps other machines).  If you use pserver then comment
the line in /etc/inetd.conf that starts cvs, and send a SIGHUP to
inetd; if you use ssh/rsh then rename the program (i.e. mv
/usr/bin/cvs /usr/bin/cvs.old).

You can see if any cvs process is running, that means that somebody is
using it.

> 7.Type on commandline: make install

That should work for a standard build, installed under /usr/local.

Some versions of Linux (like RedHat for instance) install it under
/usr.  You can have 2 copies and work with that, or use "./configure
--prefix=/usr" to replace the old version.

No.

Yes, the repository and user access doesn't have to be changed.

Ok, that explains it. I just couldn't find any documentation on that, so
I considdered it as a bug.

Do you know how to customize the naming of the backup files? The
preceeding dot is smart in fact that it hides the file during normal
"ls" calls.

Thaks again.

CVS Question ?

[salai]

Is there a way to lock a tag so that no one can make 
any commits into that tag?

After the release, we need to kind of freez that tag.

Make sure you have a -f option in your [x]inetd configuration (just
before the --allow-root option is a good place).

I've posted a question about CVS migration two days ago and with your help 
I'm able to successfully login to the server, but now I've a new problem.

cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied"

I've read the CVS manual but didnt understand the solution.
I'd really appreciate if any of you can please guide me on this issue.

The addition of documentation and test cases is great, but this patch is 
still way too big.  I'll keep trying to deal with it if somebody will 
chop it into little bite size chunks, one bug fix or feature, its doc, 
and its tests per chunk.

For instance, the bug fixes Mathew Ogilvie mentions he made as he was 
working on this should have their own patches.  Making edit report 
editors should be in its own patch.  Advisory locks should have its own 
patch, possibly several when it makes sense, but I didn't read enough to 
give further advice.  The sockPlayer separation is nice too - keep it 
separate.

Sorry about that, but I really don't have the time for so much unpaid 
work at the moment.

Derek
