CVS win2000 gurus, are you there?
Hi all wise guys and girls! I'm about to install CVS (cvsnt) on Win2000 instead of using MS SourceSafe. I know that any of the Unix based OS is preferred (as always) for this. Unfortunately a win2000 server is the only server I able to use. I've read some documentation and have been following the discussions. There seems to be to be some pitfalls using Windows. Is that so? What are your main experiences and advice, to a novice CVS cm like me, regarding using CVS on Win2000? Thanks in advance! Cheers, Benni ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: unknown compression
Hi! I think the mailing list that you should post this query to should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Anyway, coming to your problem, you have used the TCP/IP compression in your CVS client. If you are using WinCVS, this option can be disabled by going to the Admin Menu - Preferences and the Global Tab. Try this out and see if it works. Or you can post to the cvsgui group and pose the same question if this does not work out. Also, try upgrading the CVS Server to the latest with security fix cvs-1.11.5. Hope this helps.

Upgrading repository from CVS 1.10.7 to 1.11.5
Hi, I'm hoping for some guidance on moving a repository between the above CVS versions (and also to a different machine architecture Linux Pentium to Linux Alpha). Naively I guess I just copy the files - but is there anything else to be aware of?

How to tell WinCvs where is Python?
Hi, I just installed WinCvs13b10.zip. When I invoked the program the first time it searches for tcl and python After this I installed: tcl823.exe and Python-2.3a1.exe ok this is an alpha release but also with the official version 2.2 NOT in Administrator mode (dlls are locally) everytime I invoke WinCvs I get the ErrorMessage: WinCvs could not find Python 2.1 ... My Operating System is Windows NT 4.0 Has anybody an idea, what is going wrong here, thanks Richard ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: CVS case problem
I've a problem, I have a lot of files with the same name but with different case in the same directory, since I working on UNIX there is not a problem, but now when I tried to check out on NT this return a Conflict and this is fine because cvs try to check out 2 files with the same name but with different content. Yes. You can't do this. There is no workaround. You must either rename some files, abandon Windows, or make a workaround in your own process. Also - make sure your windows editor maintains the case - the windows file systems will actually maintain the case of the filenames (even if it doesn't make them significant), but many(some?) editors will do stupid things like capitalize the filenames before writing it back out. /|/|ike ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

It's a good idea to run ``cvs init'' to upgrade your repository whenever you upgrade CVS, but it hasn't ever been necessary (although it's always possible that it will be sometime in the future). -Larry Jones What better way to spend one's freedom than eating chocolate cereal and watching cartoons! -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

What makes :local: inadvisable is the disk not being local, but rather being on some kind of network filesystem. I don't know of any way to detect that. -Larry Jones It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

We were, in fact, running our repository on a Win2000 Pro box for a while (until the box itself died). We just followed the CVSNT directions to the letter while setting it up. Using it in :pserver: mode. There was no problem with the basic operation. The only minor problems we faced were setting up those famous loginfo and commitinfo scripts to send mail on commits - the Perl scripts were not too hard to set up, but hacking those scripts for NT sendmail was a pain. Now we're on a Linux box, and most of the scripts just drop in and operate well :-). But otherwise no, there shouldn't be *any* problem running CVSNT as a :pserver:. It should even be possible to run it in :ssh: mode (if you have the right SSH server installed on your Win2K box - there are several available, both free and commercial). ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

On my system, signal 4 is SIGILL (illegal instruction), which implies some kind of memory corruption. If you can reproduce the problem with tracing enabled (the global -t option), the output might provide more clues as to what's going wrong. If you can manage to attach a debugger to the process (see the $CVS_SERVER_SLEEP environmnent variable), that would be even better. -Larry Jones We seem to be out of gun powder. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
How to Connect WinCVS 1.3b10 to New CVS 1.11.5 pserver?
We're testing out the new version of CVS 1.11.5 on a new pserver (Solaris 5.8) using port 2402. All of our cross-platform access (i.e., Solaris, Linux Win2K) to this new port and version check out okay **except** for WinCVS. We're using WinCVS 1.3b10. There are two problems: 1) Switching to the new client in the Admin, Preferences, WinCVS dialog box (Alternate cvs executable (NOTE...) Doing any command (e.g., status on a CVS file) yields the following: C:\cygwin\bin\cvs.exe: invalid option -- c Usage: cvs.exe [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments] where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc. (specify --help-options for a list of options) where command is add, admin, etc. (specify --help-commands for a list of commands or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms) where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help) Specify --help to receive this message The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control. For CVS updates and additional information, see the CVS home page at http://www.cvshome.org/ or Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html And WinCVS hangs, even after pressing the Stop button. It has to be killed from the Win2K Task Manager. 2) Using the embedded client, but pointing WinCVS at the new CVS port (2402) This time there is no override for the client, but we add the new port number '2402' to the Admin, Preferences, WinCVS dialog box (General tab, adding 2402 to the front of the 'path' entry so that the resulting CVSROOT line reads something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2402/cvs/path/here An update to any directory shows that the old server is being accessed: cvs update -P -d (in directory C:\cygwin\home\Administrator\cvs\java\) cvs-1.10.7 server: Updating . cvs-1.10.7 server: Updating core cvs-1.10.7 server: Updating view * CVS exited normally with code 0 * It appears that there are two obstacles to upgrading WinCVS to the new version of CVS. 1) Some modifications to CVS are needed in order to be able to talk successfully to WinCVS. Any idea how/where to make these mods??? 2) WinCVS doesn't appear to handle alternate pserver ports. I know there is a sub-dialog box under Admin, Preferences, General, Settings, but that generates a CVSROOT entry that looks totally bogus (i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2402:/cvs/path) and doesn't work either. What's the trick to getting WinCVS to use alternate port numbers? Thanks, pc ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: How to Connect WinCVS 1.3b10 to New CVS 1.11.5 pserver?
[Thu, 23 Jan 2003 16:22:18 -0800] Thus spake Peter Connolly [EMAIL PROTECTED]: We're testing out the new version of CVS 1.11.5 on a new pserver (Solaris 5.8) using port 2402. All of our cross-platform access (i.e., Solaris, Linux Win2K) to this new port and version check out okay **except** for WinCVS. We're using WinCVS 1.3b10. You may have better luck, then, on the WinCVS list: http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/cvsgui My best guess, though, as to your problems, is that wincvs ships with cvsnt (http://www.cvsnt.org/) and not the more standard cygwin cvs. Cvsnt supports a few extra options; WinCVS may make use of those. Also, in a default install of cvsnt DOS line-endings will be used for metadata. In a default install of cygwin cvs UNIX line-endings will be used for the metadata. IIRC you cannot use both clients on one sandbox. (This means that if you were using the default cvsnt before I would expect cygwin's defaults to cause errors when used with your existing sandboxes.)
