Re: CVS Through Proxy

I don't know if Tortoise uses an external cvs program or builtin routines. If it's
an external program you can try to replace it with the one from WinCvs. This
has support for proxies. The main cvs does not.

Use the admin command to change the type, update your sandbox, copy
in the working version and commit it. Look in the manual for the admin
command or the mailing list archives for examples. This question has come

WinCVS locking up on startup

Hi, I appear to have a problem with WinCVS -- when I start it, 100% of
cpu is consumed and around 70mb of ram and it just sits there turning
my laptop into a very expensive heating appliance.

Win2K does allow it -- you just have to convince it... I can do it with

Where did you see the -N flag listed? I don't see it in a FAQ.

importing vendor branch and removed files

[Spiro Trikaliotis]

Hello,

I'm using cvs import for the first time, so I have a question on this. I
started importing a project with is some years old and has not been
managed by CVS so far into CVS. The project regularly sent out full
archives of the source files.

Now, I wrote a skript which untars each full archive and imports it into
the repository using the version number as tag (with "." replaced by
"-").

Everything works, except for one detail: If I checkout the latest
revision, CVS checks out every file, even ones that do not exist with
the latest revision anymore. This does not occur if I specifically check
out the release with the tag.

I read chapter 13 of the cederqvist, especially 13.2 which tells me:

   "Since import has no way to detect removed files, you should do a
   merge like this even if import doesn't tell you to."

So, this behaviour seems to be by design. Anyway, I ask myself if I can
do anything about this to change this behaviour? Section 13.2 seems to
tell me that I can change this in the main branch. Unfortunately, there
is no main branch currently (I want to track the changes without doing
local modifications. The reason for this is that the tar.gz take more
than 1 GB, while the CVS repository only takes 50 MB uncompressed, or 8
MB compressed).

Is there any chance I can change this behaviour? I would even move the
files around (to the attic?) or fiddle with any configuration files if
that would help me.

Any help is appreciated,
   Spiro.

Well, yes and no. The client sends the "Case" command to the server to tell
it to treat file names in a case-insensitive manner. So it's a combination

What problem?

You have a file with a name. My name is Jim. It is also spelled JIM, jim,
jIm, etc. All variations on capitalization refer to me.

So, what's your problem? ;-)

Seriously, though, you could simply rename the repository file from
aaa.ext,v to AAA.EXT,v.

Setuid/gid Error in CVS

Hi! 

I am getting a peculiar problem with CVS.

In the output pane of WinCVS, the following message is coming whenever I
try to commit anything and the commit falls through.

cvs commit -m "Redundant test files have been removed from the CVS
repository.\nThese files had ..." data_section1.asm data_section2.asm

Can't do setuid

cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

* CVS exited normally with code 1 * 



I have got the scripts 'cvslog' and 'cvs_acls' in the repository of the
CVS server and these are being used for Acess control and formatting the
mail to be sent to the users.

The problem occured when I changed some settings and users in the
/etc/passwd file. I am using CVS as a pserver with the passwords coming
from the /etc/passwd file. So that this change made all the users UserID
change. Now when I tried to change the users in the repository also, I
had no problems initially, but after restarting the CVS services, I got
the problem.

When I changed the permissions of the 'cvs_acls' script from 2775 to
2777, the follwoing message is coming, and the loginfo script is not
sending the mails, but commits are going through:

Setuid/gid script is writable by world.

Updating local directory to Match repository

[Saad Malik]

Hi,
I have searched the man pages and googled but was unable to find the
anwser, so I ask it here.

How am I able to make my local directory (module) match exactly like a
repository module. THe obvious answer is to cvs release (module) &&
cvs co (module)...

But what if the module is huge? Like the kdelibs... Basically what I
want to do, is for the cvs update command to somehow get rid of all
the (?) mark files it finds when updating the module. Also kdelibs and
other modules, say "This file is no longer in repository".. it would
be nice if it could delete those too.

I tried update -PC, but it did not remove files that were created by
configure script (and files I manually put in there).



Thanks in Advance.

Meta-CVS, has proper renaming.

   mcvs mv AAA.EXT aaa.ext
   mcvs ci -m "Case-changing rename"

Meta-CVS can also deal with the case of names that do not conflict on
UNIX, but do conflict on Windows.

Suppose that the project contains "FOO.C" and a UNIX user renames
an existing "blorg.c" to "foo.c" and commits. On his machine, there is
no conflict, because "FOO.C" and "foo.c" are distinct names. 
But you are on Cygwin/NTFS and do a ``mcvs up''.

When reshaping the tree, Meta-CVS will try to create "FOO.C" and
get an error from the filesystem. 

This is turned into a condition about a local file being in the way.
Although this is not quite accurate because it's not really a local
file, if you choose to terminate, the behavior is fail safe.

$ mcvs up
cvs update: Updating .
M MAP

The following error has occured:

some moves or adds want to overwrite local files or directories.

You have these alternatives:

?) Re-print this menu.
I) (Info) Print list of adds or moves which want to overwrite.
C) (Continue) Go ahead and overwrite the target files.
A) Auto-continue all continuable errors.
T) Recover, clean-up and terminate.

>I
move blorg.c -> FOO.C
>T
restoring blorg.c

$

The filesystem reshaping is rolled back, and so now you have an
inconsistent tree; there are outstanding changes in the MAP which are
not reflected in the tree structure. You now have an opportunity to fix
the MAP to eliminate the inconsistencies, either by hand or using the
command interface.

Check this out. You rename your file out of the way, and now that there
are no problems, the tree restructuring completes itself. Two files
are in fact moved, because after your local move request, there are two
outstanding moves, which can now complete without conflict:

$ mcvs mv foo.c out-of-the-way.c
* moving foo.c -> out-of-the-way.c
* moving blorg.c -> FOO.C

The tree reshaping is done and everything is now consistent and cool
as far as version control is concerned. 

We need is a more accurate diagnostic in Meta-CVS, since this is not a
case of a local file being in the way, but a case conflict.  Choosing C)
in the menu would be a pretty bad idea (overwrite the file). That choice
must not be available when it's a case-insensitivity conflict between
two versioned files.

EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file : How to delete problem file?

[Fred Phase]

I imported some MP3s into CVS by mistake (yes I do own the
copywrite!).

With my limited knowlege I only know how to delete them by checking
the project out and using "cvs delete" to remove the MP3s one by one.

However, there is one that produces the following error message...
"EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file
/var/cvsroot/intranet/audio/Mon27Oct03e0723.mp3,v"

This sort of thing is not unexpected because I told CVS all about
jpgs, gifs & pngs being binary but not MP3!

If I can't check it out then how do I delete the thing? I heard that
doing stuff directly in the CVSROOT directory is most inadvisable and
could break stuff if I am no careful.

Anyone know how I can get out of this pickle?

specify "." (current dir) as working dir via "-d" in modules?

[Jeff]

Is there any way to set up a module so that it will be checked out into the
current directory rather than a subdirectory of it?

For example, suppose a repository contains the following three projects -- 
"src", "fooweb", and "barweb":

"src" --
src/org/foo/FooClass.java
src/com/bar/BarClass.java

"fooweb" --
fooweb/index.jsp
fooweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
fooweb/WEB-INF/lib/foolib.jar

"barweb" --
barweb/index.jsp
barweb/WEB-INF/web.xml
barweb/WEB-INF/lib/barlib.jar


suppose further that my ultimate goal is to aggregate one of the two
webmodule projects with the "com" and "org" sub-projects of "src" using
ampersand modules to make Netbeans happy and put WEB-INF in what Netbeans
believes to be the rootdir of a mounted filesystem (it won't recognize it
any other way), and put "com" and "org" in WEB-INF/classes (to keep
Netbeans' web module autodeployment from breaking).

In an ideal universe, the following additions to the "modules" file would to
the trick nicely:

_com -d ./WEB-INF/classes/com src/com
_org -d ./WEB-INF/classes/org src/org
_fooweb -d . fooweb

foonetbeanswebapp &_fooweb &_com &_org

then, from the command prompt:

cd c:\cvs
cvs co foonetbeanswebapp

which would create the following files:
c:/cvs/foonetbeanswebapp/index.jsp
c:/cvs/foonetbeanswebapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
c:/cvs/foonetbeanswebapp/WEB-INF/classes/org/foo/FooClass.java
c:/cvs/foonetbeanswebapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/bar/BarClass.java
... as well as CVS' own workfiles, of course.


The problem is, it doesn't work. Attempting to run "cvs co
foonetbeanswebapp" produces the following error message:

cvs checkout: existing repository c:\cvs/CVSROOT/Emptydir does not match
c:\cvs/foonetbeanswebapp
cvs checkout: ignoring module _fooweb

Ironically, the _com and _org aliases DO work... FooClass.java and
BarClass.java both end up exactly where I want them. It looks like "-d"
doesn't mind "." unless it's sitting there by itself.

Is there any way to make this work? By hacking another one of the files in
CVSROOT or creating a dummy/decoy directory named Emptydir somewhere,
perhaps? By using a special directory name like ROOT (the way Tomcat does)?
By doing it under cygwin so there won't be an issue with forward slashes vs
backward slashes?

I wish it were possible to just let the fooweb module check out into
c:/cvs/foonetbeanswebapp/fooweb... but unfortunately, there's just no good
way to do it. Netbeans won't recognize a web module anywhere besides the
rootdir of a mounted CVS filesystem, and putting the class sourcefiles
anywhere besides WEB-INF/classes breaks Netbeans' whole automated
webapp-deployment subsystem (it's a long-standing design shortcoming of
Netbeans that's apparently scheduled to be fixed by the end of 2004). So
trying to find some way to forcibly merge classfiles from one or more
projects with a web module that itself is another project via ampersand
modules has kind of been a holy quest of mine for the past 3 years or so
[something I work on for a few days whenever I'm about to start a new major
project, seem to come within minutes of solving, then wind up back at square
one again, bashing my head against the wall in rage before giving up and
just dumping the whole web module into a single CVS project for lack of a
better alternative ].

If my idea STILL won't work due to deeper issues with CVS, might it be
somehow possible to hack things further using symlinks (or NTFS junctions)?
Say, checking out "fooweb" into c:\cvs\fooweb, "src/com" into c:\cvs\com,
and "src/org" into c:\cvs\org, then creating NTFS junctions so the imaginary
directory c:\fooweb\WEB-INF\classes\com will point to c:\cvs\com and the
imaginary directory c:\fooweb\WEB-INF\classes\org will point to c:\cvs\org?
Or will CVS crash and burn (or just ignore the change) if I do something
like edit FooClass.java then do a cvs commit from c:\cvs\fooweb (because of
some subtle rule or architectural limit of CVS?)

Thanks :-)

I have a project which contains many dirs and subdirs.
Now I want to compose a new module containing some arbitrary subdirs in 
different dir levels to a new module.
BUT the dirs in the new module should be also in different levels.

E.g. (I checkout moduleSrc and see)
moduleSrc/dir1
moduleSrc/dir2
moduleSrc/dir1/dir11

I want to have: (when I checkout moduleNEW)
moduleNEW/Test/dir11 (ampersand module of moduleSrc/dir1/dir11)
moduleNEW/oneDir/twoDir/threeDir/dir2 (ampersand module of moduleSrc/dir2)


How can I accomplish this ??
If i use ampersand modules I can not tell the new path in the new module!!


Thank you for any help.

Network filesystems are notoriously unreliable, particularly when
dealing with large, somewhat randomly accessed files, which is a perfect
description of what's in a typical repository.  You usually share a
repository by placing it on a server machine and using some form of
client/server CVS to access it (with the CVS server running on the
machine with the repository).  However, all of the reported problems
have been interoperability problems, so if you have a completely
homogeneous environment (e.g., all Windows machines), you probably won't
have any problems using a network share for the repository.

cvs admin -kb [yourfile]

Subject: EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file : How to
deleteproblem file?

I imported some MP3s into CVS by mistake (yes I do own the
copywrite!).

With my limited knowlege I only know how to delete them by checking
the project out and using "cvs delete" to remove the MP3s one by one.

However, there is one that produces the following error message...
"EOF while looking for end of string in RCS file
/var/cvsroot/intranet/audio/Mon27Oct03e0723.mp3,v"

This sort of thing is not unexpected because I told CVS all about
jpgs, gifs & pngs being binary but not MP3!

If I can't check it out then how do I delete the thing? I heard that
doing stuff directly in the CVSROOT directory is most inadvisable and
could break stuff if I am no careful.

Anyone know how I can get out of this pickle?

In this case, if you can't delete the file through cvs, and you're *sure*
you really don't want it there, manually deleting the file is fine.

Re: Setuid/gid Error in CVS

Standard CVS has no such message.

That implies that you have a commitinfo script that's failing -- my
guess is that the above error message is comming from the script.

That implies that the script is setuid, probably to the wrong UID now
that you've changed them.  (And note that a world-writable setuid script
is a gaping security hole.)

Something COULD happen today.  And if anything DOES,
by golly, I'm going to be ready for it! -- Calvin
