This has made me think... Are there any good tools that can generate HTML reports from CVS ChangeLogs?

I am using pserver to connect to a remote repository, and would like to find out what files have been edited over a particular time range. CVSps http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/ is a handy tool for this type of reporting. You could get the logs for all commits by foo_user with cvsps -a foo_user This will dump summaries of each patchset. You can then dump the diffs for any number of patchsets, and also restrict the selection to a range of dates or tags. Very nice, IMHO. NOTE: some operations don't work so well over pserver, as they can flood the server with connection requests. CVSps uses a caching system that may help mitigate this, but it's something to be aware of. -Matt ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Checkout files to the same working directory
I'd like to be able to checkout files from different locations in the repository to the same working directory. I always get complaints that the repository locations are different when I try and check the second project out in the same location as the first project. I would have thought it would be relatively easy for the information about file location to be stored in the CVS/ directory inside the working directory. Is this possible?

Branch Merging
Although I've been using CVS for several years I've never used branches. Well, I was posed with yet another opportunity where branching would fit and decided to finally take the plunge. Unfortunately, the results are a bit worrisome to me... here is the scenario: I've got file x.c which is currently at revision 1.22. The last released version was revision 1.21. There has actually only been one line added near the top of this file between those two revisions. A bug came up in this file so I thought I would create a branch and try to fix it that way. I created a branch tag against my version tag using rtag as it says in the manual: cvs rtag -b -r v3_1 v3_1-patch mod (obviously v3_1 is a tag with includes rev 1.21 of file x.c) Anyway, I then checked out the branch, updated the file with the fix (couple lines near the bottom of the file) and checked it in which gave me a new revision of 1.21.2.1. Then (just to test it out) I went back to my main working directory (where all the latest files are, i.e. no sticky tags etc) and tried to merge the changes in to the main trunk as they will need to be there eventually anyway. So I run the merge command: cvs update -j v3_1-patch x.c (x.c was still currently at revision 1.21) The update went fine (I think) file was merged etc. But just to make sure I did a few diffs on the files etc. and noticed that yes it did move my new lines near the bottom of the file but it completely dumped the latest changes from the main trunk (that one line near the top). Is is really supposed to do things this way. It seems that it merged with version 1.21 and then just put that version on the head. I would expect it to merge with 1.21 but then to merge 1.21 with the head to try to get everything up to date. Am I just asking too much? --- Eric Fritz [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

It's been around for a while and is well tested, and implements full ACLs (per directory, per file, and per branch) within CVS, and has a lot of users. well I wasn't aware of it before I started coding, but yeah I looked at it, it looked a little bit more complicated/'batched up' than I wanted (ie: you've got other changes that don't relate to acl.) Also I wanted something simple, wasn't sure how easy to use your solution was. Yes, it has a few other things, too. It's not terribly difficult to use, but it may be difficult to use it to achieve what you want. Anyways, I'm not against your patches (ie: if they are the standard acl for cvs, I'd be more than happy to use them), but I had a couple of questions: 1) is your acl mechanism backwards compatible with existing cvs clients/servers? Yes. You can't do ACL operations, obviously, but the ACLs are enforced. 2) how do you use your acl? Each directory has an owner and a set of permissions. The owner (or an admin) can set the permissions for directory/files/branches or assign a new owner for the directory. Permissions can also propigate directories (you can assign them at a base directory and with a command-line option to the server have the propigate to subdirectories. propigation can also be blocked). Maintenance of ACLs is through new CVS commands. It is not centralized, though. #1 is key for me - I need something where I don't need to download a new client for everyone who wants to use ACL. #2 is pretty important too - I want something centralized, one file that I can check and see at a glance who has access to what. If #1 and #2 holds for your patch, then like I said I'd be more than happy to use it. For single file centralized access that the users don't have control over, I believe you could easily set up a shell script to handle that. No need to modify CVS. I've never done it, but if that's what you want, I'd recommend trying the shell-script approach. It will be easier to maintain in the long-term. -Corey ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I've never done it, but if that's what you want, I'd recommend trying the shell-script approach. It will be easier to maintain in the long-term. Ok, how? From what I saw in the source code, there was nothing preventing files from propogating to the users; and there was also nothing preventing users from seeing what directories/files existed on the server (ie: there was no filter that prevented the traffic back to the client, even if the client would not get the files.) I looked at shiela, but again, it looked too complicated for my use - programming a bunch of hooks into different info files per operation. Plus it required a not insignificant overhead of installing perl, and a non-trivial setup. As for maintainability, simple ACL is really not that bad - all I did was put a filter into 'do_recursion' - which pretty much every command touches - and voila! instant ACL. If you don't have a aclinfo file, the command is a no-op - hence it defaults back to vanilla CVS. My intent was to make 'aclinfo' ubiquitous, like all the 'info' files, like /etc/passwd on unix. You want acl, you put your information in aclinfo and you are guaranteed that not only will users not get the files, they won't even see that they are there. And I maintain that its more unmaintainable to have several, incompatible shell wrappers implementing acl in subtly different ways than it is to have one, centralized version.
