RE: "Stale" CVS locks
Hi, Back to the network-mounted repository issue after a long time. See Larry's reply below. What is wrong with accessing a repository from Windows using ":local:", when the repository is mapped to a drive letter (using Samba)? Recently we get many problems of the form: cvs [tag aborted]: cannot rename file //,filename, to z:\...\filename,v: File exists I assume this is because of the network-mounted repository, but I don't understand the reason for these problems. Can anyone explain this? Also, do these problems never happen in a Linux client which accesses the repository with ":local:"?

The problem occurs so rarely in practice (at least on Unix-like systems) that removing the stale locks manually has been a perfectly reasonable way to address the problem. It sounds like you're using a network- mounted repository (Samba?), which is practically begging for trouble, so you shouldn't be surprised that you're finding it. You really should switch to client/server CVS -- why do you say you can't? -Larry Jones Hello, local Navy recruitment office?

RE: CVS, emacs, shh, cygwin
Sorry for the incomplete information. I already made the fix such that CVSROOT is /cygdrive/f/ I included the info about f:/ because the afs module also maps the /afs structure on f:/. So I would think both work. So, I now specify CVSROOT as /cygdrive/f/, but other problems continue. -seth --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]7122 Wean Hall www.cs.cmu.edu/~seth School of Computer Science phone: 412-268-3828Carnegie Mellon University fax: 412-268-4801Pittsburgh, PA 15213 > -Original Message- > From: Mike Ayers [mailto:mike.ayers@;earthling.net] > Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 5:23 AM > To: Seth Copen Goldstein > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: CVS, emacs, shh, cygwin > > Seth Copen Goldstein wrote: > > I am having trouble using cvs, emacs, bash, etc. on my windows XP > machine. > > My configuration is: > > > > CVS: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) > > Emacs: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)\n of 2002-03-19 on buffy > > Cygwin: not sure version, cygwin1.dll is dated: 2/25/2002 > > Ssh: (from cygwin): OpenSSH_3.2.3p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL > > 0x0090604f > > > > I have afs (version 1.2.2b), but would also be ok with using SSH. > > However: > > > > If I can't set a CVSROOT to :local:f:/path (it complains about path not > > being absolute) > > Correct.

Unix's philosophy of ownership and permissions doesn't match well with Windows' philosophy of ownership and permissions. Although Samba tries to do the best it can to map one to the other, what's best for one situation may well be very bad for another. The default mapping doesn't work very well for CVS, you tend to get obscure permission errors like the one you mentioned: > Recently we get many problems of the form: > cvs [tag aborted]: cannot rename file //,filename, to z:\...\filename,v: >File exists If you absolutely have to access the repository via Samba, check the Samba web site for directions on configuring it to better work with CVS, but the best thing to do is to avoid network filesystems altogether. Run a CVS server on the machine the disk is physically connected to and use client/server mode to access it. > Also, do these problems never happen in a Linux client which accesses > the repository with ":local:"? Not if the repository is on a locally mounted disk as opposed to some kind of network file system like NFS. -Larry Jones What's the matter?

CVS Server problems
Hello,
I hope this is the right mailing list, since this might be a somewhat
technical question.
I currently have a CVS pserver running. It is configured with xinetd
stating this:
root@solatis2 xinetd.d # cat ./cvspserver-tcp
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv = PATH
disable = no
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/var/lib/cvsroot pserver
}
root@solatis2 xinetd.d #
I have inited cvs using the statement:
cvs -d /var/lib/cvsroot/ init
which resulted in a directory created called /var/lib/cvsroot/CVSROOT
with quite a few files in it...
Now, I checked if the server was actually online by using nmap... it
showed this:
2401/tcp opencvspserver
so I assume it is running... however, when I try to do a cvs login, it
gives me this:
lmergen@solatis2 lmergen $ echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/cvsroot
lmergen@solatis2 lmergen $ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/var/lib/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer
lmergen@solatis2 lmergen $
and when I try to telnet to it at port 2401, PuTTY tells my that "the
software caused the connection to abort" .
Does anyone has any idea at all what is causing this?
Sorry if I have provided too much information, but I just want to make
sure that I provided enough :)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards,
Leon Mergen

You should also have a -f in server_args.

That usually means that xinetd was unable to start the server, probably
because the path is wrong in the config file. Check to see where your
cvs is, it's probably *not* /usr/bin/cvs as you said in server above.

Check your syslog for error messages from xinetd and/or CVS. If there aren't any, try running xinetd in debug mode. Check the permissions on CVS. Try telnetting to port 2401 (telnet localhost 2401) -- if the connection immediately closes, then either xinetd is unable to start CVS or CVS immediately dies.

RE: CVS Server problems
Hello Larry,
Thanks for responding. Well, if the following output doesn't make clear
that my cvs is in /usr/bin/cvs I have no idea what I'm doing wrong :
root@solatis2 xinetd.d # which cvs
/usr/bin/cvs
root@solatis2 xinetd.d #
:)
I have edited my cvspserver-tcp file, and added -f, restarted xinetd,
but the problem still persist.
Do you, or anyone else, have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Leon Mergen

Be that as it may, the error message you're getting means that the revision in your working directory is *not* the most recent revision in the repository.
