Dear info-cvs reader, I'm looking for a document describing the different behaviour of the different network implementations in use in cvs. Well, I know the pserver one but what about gserver and sserver.

Re: branches off of branches
Likewise.. cvs update -j TEST -j DEV -m means migrate changes from TEST to DEV, and remember the migration. Then, if, inside head: cvs update -j TEST -m this would migrate the TEST changes into head... on a cvs update -j DEV -m it would remember that the DEV changes have already been put into test... etc. etc. You could write scripts that do that with moving and creating new tags. So every time you call the mmerge script it will apply a tag like MERGED_DATE and there is a second tag LAST_MERGE which will be moved to the new position. That way you will have a list of all merge points and also the point of the last merge. Once you have the scripts the call is as easy as cvs update -m. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: testing the new settings
I just tried to create a new repository Is there a way to check if it is really successfully installed and if It is working? You can check if there are the necessary files in repo/CVSROOT. See the manual for what files there should be. If it works you can check by applying a few cvs commands :) But usually if you did cvs init and there was no error then it should work anyway... bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
how to send email notifications on commits

Thanks in advance Tiziana This is one way of doing it: __ If you want to send email notifications on all commits, try putting something like this in the loginfo file in the CVSROOT directory of the repository: ALL mail -s %s [EMAIL PROTECTED] The leftmost text (ALL) matches the directories in the repository. An 'ALL' rule matches every directory, a 'DEFAULT' rule matches anything that doesn't otherwise have a match, and any other rule is a regular expression which matches against the repository directories. The expression ^example, for instance, would match anything where 'example' started the line. The rest of the line is the mail command. It's just using the shell command 'mail' - you may, for security's sake, want to make it /usr/bin/mail or whatever the address of your mail program is. The %s is a variable that the loginfo file parses - see the 'loginfo' node of info cvs, or the relevant part of the Cederqvist manual. There are three loginfo-specific variables. %v and %V are the new and old version numbers, and %s is the filename. [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be replaced with any appropriate mailing list, or you can use CVS administrative file variables, or the contents of a shell script.

Re: I am new to CVS..
Sudheer, I just recently started and got my CVS system to work, just started testing it... I'd suggest starting at CVSNT.org to set up a server, and then either just download the binaries at CVSHome.org or checking out WinCVS.org...

OK a bit more progress here now this message: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from machine: cvs pserver: cannot open dir/CVS/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied I need to provide a bit more info here maybe. I am a member of 2 groups. when I do an ID I get: uid=624(login) gid=22(group1) groups=299(group2) so my main group is group1 now the permissions on the CVS directory is set up so that it is 770 with the group as group2 do you think that this can be causing the problem? Do I need to newgrp to group2 ? I also tried to chmod 777 the config file as well as CVSROOT to see if I still had this problem but to no avail ... any Ideas ?

Re: cvs login
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from machine: cvs pserver: cannot open dir/CVS/CVSROOT/config: Permission denied You're running the server from [x]inetd as root, right? If so, that error means that *root* doesn't have permission to access that directory, not you. That in turn implies that your repository is on an NFS-mounted filesystem which is a major mistake: it's just asking for trouble, and you're already getting it. By default, NFS maps root to an ordinary user (typically nobody in the group nogroup) who doesn't have permission to access your repository. It probably wouldn't hurt to give everyone read permission on the CVSROOT directory and its contents, but you're much better off moving your repository to a local disk. -Larry Jones It's no fun to play games with a poor sport. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

RE: Preventing Commits to a Branch
You may create a program to be called on every commit operation. Your program must analyze the file names, their revision numbers (the third part of revision number identifies the branch - the x in 1.1.x.1 identifies the branch x) and decide if the commit operation is legal or not. Use program exit code to tell cvs what to do - exit code 0 to allow commit operation and exit code 0 to deny it.
