CVS _ Help
Hi, I am pretty new to CVS and Linux. I need some help to figure out something. I have been digging into documentation and have installed CVS on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 machine. I have also managed to connect to the CVS Repsoitory on the server using a WinCVS client. At present, I have created a single user 'cvs' which can connect to the server. However, I would want multiple users to connect to the CVS repository. What do I do to achieve this? Also, I would like some of the folders in the CVS repository to be unavailable to some of these users. I understand that this has something to do with groups and permissions to be set up on the Linux box, but since I am new to this, I am not able to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Perhaps not, but the point is to understand what might be missing from existing tools and to see if maybe those same features might better be included in existing tools or if a new tool is needed to accomodate them. This is particularly important when it comes to user interfaces since enhancing existing interfaces has the potential to help one heck of a lot more people. > 1.

I wish you'd said those things in this forum in the first place. (As for MISRA C, well good luck! Those idiots (hope you're not one of them!) should have looked a little further outside their own field -- there are lots better languages to develop safety critical code in, and even some that look and feel enough like C to give good C programmers a head start. Yes I know they recommend not using C wherever possible, but just the same) -- Greg A.

RE: Info-cvs Digest, Vol 5, Issue 5
To force a Makefile file to be uncommitable, but still stay more-or-less up-to-date with the current branch, you could put this in your build script: " cp Makefile Makefile_ cvs up -C -rANY_FIXED_TAG Makefile cp Makefile_ Makefile rm Makefile_ " Then if anyone tries to commit changes to the file, they will get an error since they are committing to a non-sticky tag. And of course, never use "cvs tag" to tag versions if you are using this technique (use "cvs rtag" instead).

You're not the only developer that has had to deal with a problem like this. I agree with others who have said that allowing CVS to circumvent its own controls is not a wise idea. My advice is to be more specific when you commit. You don't need to commit from the top-level of your project. You likely already know where you made changes you do want to commit. If you've arranged your tree well, this configuration file should be somewhere else. In this case, commit closer to the real changes and CVS won't try to also commit your configuration changes. If you happen to make changes in the same place as the configuration file, then commit files one by one. -- Steve Madsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tadpole Computer, Inc. http://www.tadpole.com ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: OpenSource CVS-related project Needs Developers!
I myself was weaned on Emacs. As far as CVS interfaces go, I always run my CVS session from my shell. Creating a new tool isn't redundant if it offers new features, and in this case I am going to be addressing a couple issues. 1. I deal with certification for safety-related products. IEC 61508 requires pretty strict software lifecycle practices. Among those are a tight SCM process and change tracking (bugs). ASMAI takes its own bug handler and integrates CVS to create a base SCM system. 2. ASMAI is being designed per IEEE 12207 and IEC 61508. This means that a project being audited for its tools usage can point to ASMAI and state that the tool is compliant to these standards, as well as beig coded per MISRA C for safety. 3. It's fun to try new things! I would love it if someone had created a tool that blended bug tracking, version management, build generation and project requirements all together with a simple shell interface. Why not? Stallman wasn't crazy when he started Emacs, but I know a lot of people that said he was stupid for bothering ; ) Take care. -Original Message- From: Kaz Kylheku [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 3:08 PM To: CVS-II Discussion Mailing List Cc: Christian Bryant Subject: Re: OpenSource CVS-related project Needs Developers!

Why don't you just learn to deal with the fact that not everyone is going to develop software the way you do?

Why don't y'all just learn to use Emacs and its PCL-CVS front-end to CVS? Seriously. Even if your fingers are programmed with VI keystrokes don't let that be a deterrent to you -- Emacs has a perfectly usable VI emulation Then if you find there's some feature you'd like that's not in PCL-CVS it can maybe be added without too much fuss. Using Emacs with PCL-CVS for coding and version control is, IMNSHO, better than many of the so-called "integrated development environments" I've seen out there over the years. Using Emacs also means that your programmers are already trained to use the same tools they can use in a GUI environment too -- Emacs works fine in X11 and is easy for X11 users to use. -- Greg A.

Hello, Please send only plain text messages to technical mailing lists. No HTML or Rich Text, please. I had a look at the WinCVS home page at http://wincvs.org and could not tell if there is a French version shipped. I do know, however, that there are many French users of it. I suggest you join the WinCVS mailing list (link is WAY at the bottom of the home page), and ask there.
