RE: cvsweb
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to allow users to authenticate to a webserver (Apache?) via their Unix login creditentials. You can do that by compiling Apache with auth_mod_shadow: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-shadow -Original Message- From: M.

I would like for users to be able to use the same user name and passwd as they would if they were to login via command line or wincvs. Also, download does not work.

Re: CVS Behaviour
Patwardhan, Rajesh writes: Is it a known issue or is it expected behaviour that if i issue a command cvs co -r1 full_path_to_dir/file_name ( 1 as a digit ) and I noted that for any file. I get the head revision of the file. When you specify a branch number with no revision (which is what 1 is), you get the most recent revision on the branch. Under normal conditions, the trunk is branch 1, so the results are not unexpected. However, the official definition of the head revision is the most recent revision on the default branch, which is not necessarily the trunk (it might be a vendor branch instead), and even if it is the trunk, there's no guarantee that the trunk is branch 1 (the user may have forced a higher number), so there's no guarantee that it gets you the head revision. -Larry Jones Girls are so weird. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: speed: pserver vs mount of repository
Richard Pfeiffer writes: Would anyone happen to know of any test comparison cases (pserver connection vs actual mount) regarding this or have any opinions on the subject? Check the archives -- I'm sure there have been reports in the past of pserver being faster than NFS.

Different behavior on VPN
Very perplexing to say the least! Does anyone have experience in accessing CVS over a VPN? We have a developer who called in from home saying he could not see all versions of a file in WinCVS. A colleague in the office looked in the same source tree and could see multiple branches where the guy at home could only see a single path from the trunk revision! How is this possible? I had the guy at home do an update and he still could not see. He was doing a graph command on a file, so it should not matter what he had checked out. As CVS admin, I am accountable; what do I tell them? = Mark Jaffe| (408) 972-9638 (home) Chief Wizard | (408) 807-1530 (cell) Computer Wizards | (425) 795-6421 (FAX) ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Official defenition of revisions
Hi, I know there is an official definition of the head revision as the most recent revision on the default branch. That's good. How about another useful (from my point of view) definition '-1' which means just previous revision before selected one? It is common practice for us to compare two consecutive revisions and we have to enter revision numbers manually which is time consuming.

RE: Official defenition of revisions
You may find cvs rdiff -t to be useful in that context. -Larry Jones Yes, sure. With couple of issues. 1. How can I use my favourite external diff tool? 2. It works only on trunk. How to see the difference in branch? This command fails: cvs rdiff -t -r dev /MetaBldr/MetaBldr.pl cvs [rdiff aborted]: must not specify revisions/dates with -t option! * CVS exited normally with code 1 * Any other ideas?

unicode files
Hi all, I know cvs on linux does not support unicode files, but how should I add these then, when wincvs wants to add these as unicode? For now I added them as text files, I hope this is ok ... Franky ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

A colleague in the office looked in the same source tree and could see multiple branches where the guy at home could only see a single path from the trunk revision! The only possible explanation for this is that either the home developer had removed the other revisions from the graph via the log settings or log filters, or else he was looking at a different repository than the office developer.

I use CVS in this configuration all the time (CVS over a VPN to a pserver (I know!) inside the company firewall), and it all works quite transparently. CVS doesn't care about the actual implementation of the connection, so VPNs should have absolutely no effect whatsoever.

viewing conflicts without really doing update -j
When you do a cvs update -j branch_name, you see all the files in the module fly by and it tells you whether there is a conflict or whatever.
