Why don't you verify your hypothesis yourself before wasting everyone's
time?  Maybe Kylix project files *are* mergeable; if that is the case,
then there had been no reason for you to write this complaint.

Don't assume that everyone knows Kylix, and the format of its project
files.

Or maybe it's time to use serious, intelligently designed programming
tools that don't use braindamaged file formats.

RE: problem commiting file to CVSROOT

[Daniels, Dave F [PCS]]

I am not new to CVS. When I say 'users', I mean future administrators who
may not be aware there's a problem. I'm familiar with the sections you
referenced, but my problem is not addressed there (or anywhere else I can
find.) I'm not talking about normal source files, I'm talking about
administration scripts used to send email notifications. The checkoutlist
issue may be a red herring, for all I know, but it seemed odd. I'm trying to
understand why the cvs server created a ,v file but not a normal file for
certain files I checked into CVSROOT as an administrator but had no problem
with other files.

RE: Providing the functionality of CVS as a library

[jlcarpenter]

Isn't there a Java CVS client library used within jCVS?  Unfortunately for
me the library is under a GPL which doesn't let me use it within any ant
tasks submitted to Jakarta.

The Microsofties should be able to compile a Java library into a .NET
assembly using J#.  (One might have to touch up the code here and there.)
Then any application running within the CLR or able to use wrapped .NET
code could use it regardless of language.

The non-Java Unix heads could use C++ to access the Java library.  I think
there is an ant task that claims to automate wrapping a C++ interface
around Java code and vice versa.

Surely there is code on CPAN which interfaces with CVS even if it is really
pushing a command line under the covers.  Last I heard ActiveState is
working on getting Perl to compile to the CLR.

I think there is an effort to develop an open-source implementation of the
CLR on Unix.  This might help Unix heads who aspire to be Microsofties.

I take it you mean the _client_ side of CVS as a library? Or are you
talking about serving up CVS functionality from an embedded server?

The first is quite useful - it would make it far more easy to wrap it in
good GUI tools (instead of the somersaults that the various GUI clients
have to go through today to parse the output).

Also, providing hooks to provide standard client-side SCC APIs (like
Microsoft's) also makes it more easy to integrate into IDEs.
Unfortunately, there isn't much of a standard for these things outside
the Micro world..

Good idea..

If that networked drive contains the repository, that's a bad idea.
Most cases of CVS file corruption seem to happen when somebody has
remote-mounted the repository.

If it's your sandbox, well, that's not the most efficient way to
do things, but it shouldn't cause problems.

This is a feature.  Many CVS users have source checked out from multiple
repositories, and if the CVSROOT variable was not overridden by
CVS/Root that would be a real pain.

Right.  Assuming you're on the command line, you can specify the
CVSROOT variable on the command line.  This is a pain, and is why
CVS/Root overrides CVSROOT.

I've never seen a Kylix project file, so I can't answer.  If you could
give several lines of an example (of course, if it doesn't work with
lines, then CVS can't merge it), perhaps we could answer that.

The other technique is to try it and see.

This can be done with (a) CVS's current editor facilities, and (b)
an enforced policy.  CVS is not a replacement for responsible
employees.  If you can't trust your employees not to violate policies
and mess files up, you need to fire them and replace them.  (There's
lots of developers looking for jobs right now, so that shouldn't
be too difficult.)

BTW, if developers edit Kylix project files with a text editor, it's
almost certainly going to be useful for CVS merging.

Easy.  Use the "editor" facility to let everybody know who's doing
what, and have some policies to follow.  If somebody consistently
violates policy, fire him or her.  With the job market what it is,
I'm sure that person will make an excellent example for the others.

If you're not reported by "cvs editors" for what you have "cvs edit"ed,
then that's a bug.  If it doesn't report you as an editor for a file
you haven't "cvs edit"ed, then that's normal behavior.

I just wander if cvs can make merging kylix project files?
My guess is that it will make a mess.

If this is so, then there is a need to restrict concurrent programmers from
editing Kylix project files at same time, but allow editing of .cpp files.

Cvs version 1.11.2 is not capable of during that selective restriction.
I think there is a time to write serious version control that will allow
using Kylix by more then one person for programming.

If you ready know HOW TO MAKE restrictive editing for only some files
using cvs, then post it on the news.
I think this is impossible with cvs, and we need better tool.


PS Do you now that by "cvs checkout your_project" in another directory
you are now longer reported by "cvs editors" despite you have

We need more serious accounting in version control software.

Terminology is very important when trying to communicate with others. 
If you say you're "importing" files, then we all assume you mean you're
using "cvs import".  When I say you usually "add" files instead, I mean
you use the "cvs add" command.  It still isn't clear to me which you're
doing, although it doesn't really matter; there's nothing *wrong* with
using import, it's just unusual and probably a bit more complicated.

The checkoutlist needs to reference the new files if you want to

checkoutlist is version controlled -- you need to check it out, make
your changes, and commit it.  If you just checkout the entire CVSROOT
directory, you can make the necessary additions to checkoutlist, add
your new files, and commit everything at once.

That is, indeed, the correct way of resurrecting a file *after*
committing the removal.  It's a good idea to commit the file immediately
after resurrecting.

Because that's the only method that gives CVS sufficient information to
do the job.

That's one of the motivations for the CVS client/server protocol -- the
intent was the people should write new clients rather than trying to
wrap the existing command-line client.  Librarifying CVS would likely
require a complete re-write.

capture branch name with loginfo

[Daniels, Dave F [PCS]]

Is it possible to capture the branch information for an email created from a
loginfo script? I'd like to include the branch a change was made to, not
just the module.

Thanks,
Dave

problem commiting file to CVSROOT

[Daniels, Dave F [PCS]]

I have several files I'm trying to commit to a subdirectory of CVSROOT, but
only the ,v file is being created. I'm concerened about this because some
users may make changes without realizing the files aren't being updated
correctly on the server. To work around this problem temporarily, I've
manually created the necessary files on the server, but I'd like to
understand why this isn't being done by cvs.

-I'm trying to import files to CVSROOT/commitmessage/filename
-These files appear to import correctly, but only the ,v file is created on
the server.
-I have successfully imported other files to this directory.
-The files appear to be valid from the client. 
-The checkoutlist file contains entries for the files that are being
imported correctly, but not for those that aren't. I tried to manually add
the ones not working, then make a change and commit, but my manual entries
were removed after the commit.
-I've had this problem with (I think) the same files on two separate
servers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Problems restoring a file

[Adam Cohen]

I'm having trouble resurrecting a file that was removed.  I've read section 
7.2 of the cederqvist manual, but it doesn't solve my problem.  The problem 
is that after removing the file and committing the change, I try to 
ressurrect it by typing "cvs add oldballs" (oldballs is the name of the 
file), which gives me the following message:

cvs add: re-adding file oldballs (in place of dead revision 1.3)
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

Which looks like it worked, but when I type "cvs commit", I get the 
following error:

cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `oldballs'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I've searched the archives, and it 
seems as though I'm using the correct procedure, but it doesn't work..  
After searching the web, I came up with the following solution which _does_ 
work, but I don't think it's the correct way:

cvs update -j1.3 -j1.2 oldballs

when "running cvs status -v oldballs", I get the following output:

===
File: no file oldballs  Status: Up-to-date

  Working revision:No entry for oldballs
  Repository revision: 1.3 /src/master/cscc09/ass3/Attic/oldballs,v

  Existing Tags:
   No Tags Exist

So if anyone can tell me why the "add" command doesn't work, I would greatly 
appreciate it.  Thanks,

Adam

Nubie question

[Dmitry Suzdalev]

Hello all!

Can anyone explain me how to get latest STABLE release of some package
from CVS? Manual says that i have to use tags. But all examples in it
contain tag's name, such as

cvs update -r Release-02

But what if i dont know this name? Can I find it somehow? Is there a
CVS command that lists all tag names?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
