Cvs implementation example.
Hi, I have to implement a cvs for a multiple developers environment. I have installed it without problems and I've tested the major functionalities and it seems working fine. It's my first time on this kind of versioning system and I don't know the good practice in term of sources organization for a project. For example, I'm asking if we have to create a repository for each project or create only one repository and under it, create one module for each project. Maybe somebody can tell me what are the good practices or where I could found examples or typical and practical implementation of cvs in multiple developers environment. Thank in advance for your help. Denis JULIEN ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Maybe somebody can tell me what are the good practices or where I could found examples or typical and practical implementation of cvs in multiple developers environment. Thank in advance for your help. at our company (5 workers, Linux), we use 3 Repositories: /home/cvsroot containing normal projects, one module for each project. /home/webroot containing web projects, one module for each project + one module called common also used by other projects /home/sysroot containing a module sysroot for the administration of the machines and the user management. I don't know wether that can be considered best practice, but it works well for us. To restrict rights, for each repository there is a group. To access a repository the person must be group member. Access to CVSROOT is restricted by using the sticky bit. Some modules are restricted furthermore by having a group for them. directory rights for repository and module directories are set to 2770 (rwxrws---).

I don't know enough about it yet to know what to choose (rsh, ssh, other?) Maybe if I tell y'all the basics of the system, you can say which.

Does this point one way or the other? (or is there more info that would help?) I made best experiences with ssh. I have tried: local access / NFS, pserver and ext (with ssh). I have not tried: ext with rsh (it's unencrypted, but else doesn't differ from ssh), Kerberos etc.. The disadvantage about rsh/ssh access is that there must be user accounts. Best case one account for each cvs user, so you can tell the users from CVS ($Author$ etc.). With local access / NFS or pserver I often ran into Lock problems. (Waiting for XYZ's lock in directory abc). That never occurred to me with ext. I use ssh instead of rsh because a) the connection is encrypted b) Authentication can be done on a Private Key / Public Key basis, which I consider much more secure than .rhosts at rsh. When using key authentication (using ssh-keygen and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) it is not neccessary to type in the password (same as with pserver and login, but more secure for the connection). On the other hand, giving everyone an account in the system could be considered insecure, unless they need or already have accounts anyway. Then pserver is better because you can create non-system-accounts that exist only within CVS / pserver. I have also heard that it's possible to tunnel pserver through ssh or http or https, but I do not know wether that is really possible, even less I know how to configure that.

Files beginning with a minus sign
Hi all, I added a whole directory to CVS, and everything is working great, except for one thing: I checked in a file starting with a - (the minus sign). Now one of my collegues uses wincvs to edit this new project, and he wanted to delete the file. Marking the file for deletion was ok, but the commit is not working. The cvs commit command at first complained about this file with unknown option, so I called cvs like this: cvs commit -m message -- -filename.txt So now the cvs command itself ws happy, but the server complains with: up-to-date check failed for -filename.txt Can anybody help me how to get rid of this? Or do I need to say to everybody: don't use files starting with a minus sign, and delete the file manually from CVS?

If the file is tagged, that means that it has a sticky tag, which in turn means that you are not working on the tip of the branch. `cvs rm` will only remove files at the tip of the branch. This is correct behavior, since removing old revisions would break all builds of the tree starting at the revision removed. What you should do is to select the file and hit the green arrow button to update it. If necessary, hold the shift key down while clicking the green arrow to get the update dialog box. Click the get the clean copy box, then proceed. You will now have the current version of the file, which you can remove and commit. It would probably be a good idea to get clean copies of the entire tree while you're at it. It is bad to have sticky tags and not know why.

Repository File Corruption
We had an interesting experience last night. We have a RH Linux CVS server that holds several (hundred?)thousand repository files. A large number (50) of the CVS files got corrupted (truncated) when (according to the history file) one of our users in Germany did a Tag request. The files affected were contained only within a few directories, but didn't seem to follow any pattern. This happened once before, last year. Same repository but a different machine (which we promptly executed and buried in the back lot). We now have a new superfast multi-processor raid-5 server. We would REALLY prefer this not happen again. One interesting coincidence was that most of the files needing to be restored were on the backup tape that was started just a few minutes before the corruption occurred. 10 were corrupted on this tape and we had to restore from the previous nights tape. Is it possible that somehow our Veritas back up program is confusing CVS somehow?

Improving CVS Performance?
Hello We have a 2 GB repository running on a Linux system for over an year. It has a few thousand files (approx 10,000 ) and has started progressievly become very slow. We have a lot of tags (daily builds with a tag for each build) and a few branches ( 10). Can you folks suggest what are the things I can do to improve the overall performance of the system? For example, a cvs update takes close to half an hour for the entire repository on the local box itself.
