checkout exclusion

[Schwenk, Jeanie]

I know whole directories can be excluded but is there any way to exclude on
a file-by-file basis within directory?

Well, I wouldn't go that far, for precisely the reasons you
describe:

I'd rephrase "there should be no need" to "depending on your
process, you might be able to get away without it".

It also helps to point out that there should be no need to backup the 
sandbox directories.  This, however, requires that the developers be 
trained to perform intermediary checkins of work in progress, which 
itself requires training in branch-and-merge development for larger 
changes (or just to permit checking in still broken files), so it's 
not the simplest thing.  Nonethteless, things do seem to work the best 
that way...

VSS to CVS perl script question

[Matthew Rich]

 I'm trying to move a project from my VSS repository
 to
 CVS.  This project has multipule sub-dirs but after
 running the script it only created the first level
 directory and not all the sub dirs.  What am I
 missing?  I made sure I have vsions of rm and chmod
 that support -R option.  It did go on checking the
 sub
 dirs but I got the following messages:

That won't cause corruption, but lots of people have reported strange
permission problems (probably due to the complexity of mapping Windows
file permissions to Unix file permissions).

[same thing but with the working directory mounted from a different

You're still running the same risk of screwy permission problems if you
use a Linux server, but a Windows server should be fine (assuming that
SMB actually works correctly in all instances).

That's certainly the best choice, at least in terms of reliability and
performance.

Well, you might be able to use import.  Or, with reasonably recent
versions of CVS, I believe you can add everything with a single command:

cd myproject
cvs add folder1 folder1/folder2 folder1/folder2/folder3 
folder1/folder2/folder3/test.txt

That's correct. I misunderstood the original question and thought it had to 
do with how the repository was accessed. Letting CVS touch a repository 
mounted on a network filesystem is a bad idea. Using client-server CVS 
where the server accesses the repository through a local interface is the 
recommended method. The diagram by Alan Dayley shows the recommended method.

Where you put your sandbox is a different matter.

For performance reasons (I/O throughput during compiles and network 
traffic) you might want to put it on a local disk. Policy makers don't 
always understand performance issues, though.

If you're on Windows using WinCVS there is an excellent macro that can
perform recursive add for you.

'cvs add' is not recursive. Read the manual for details.

cvs_acls, alternatives and patches

[Volker Apelt]

I'm looking for access control alternatives for 
the contrib tool cvs_acls, which is in 
/usr/lib/cvs/contrib/cvs_acls.

How is your experience with cvs_acls?
Is it sufficiently fine grained? 
Are there better scripts available?

If I understand  cvs_acls correctly, it has at least
two drawbacks. 
- it doesn't differ directories from files in its 
  permission flags. So anyone who can create a new 
  file can create a new directory, too.
- cvs hands its parameters on the command line 
  to cvs_acls.  So, it can fail if the command line 
  gets to long. 


Some time (?years) ago somebody submitted a patch 
to CVS which changed the parameter input from 
commandline paramters to stdin. 

Is that patch still around? 
Does it still work with the current CVS?

Thank you,

Volker

Add multi-level folder to cvs project problem.

[George xu]

Hi all:
I met a problem, if I create many level directory in a project. I must
add every directory.

For example:
   I create the following directory structure, the test.txt file is in
folder3. if I want to add test.txt to mypoject. I have to add folder1 the
first, and then add folder2, then add folder3, then add test.txt file.

   mypoject-/folder1
 /folder2
/folder3/test.txt

Does anyone know how to directly add text.txt file under the new folder ?

Thank you very much.
Rabbit.
