unneccessary diffs with $Header$

[Johann Uhrmann]

Hello,
there is a strange behaviour in the WinCVS command line client
(WinCVS 1.10.8):
If I use the command "cvs admin -sRel" to mark files as "Released",
the WinCVS client get a "Local Modified" message. It seems that cvs
thinks the windows clients changed the text in the header tag back
from "Rel" to "Exp".
Therefore, if a "cvs admin -sRel" is issued, all windows clients
think that their file state is "Locally modified" instead of "Up to date".
In my oppinion, a state change should not be reflected as a change.
(Eclipse seems to handle it that way, btw.)
Is there something I can change at the cvs server side?
Is this a bug in WinCVS?
Kind regards,
Johann Uhrmann

cvs with mysql

[Ramanuj Singh]

How can we store the cvs operations in RDBMS-MySQL. For eg- whenever
a tag or rtag command is executed the user name, name of tag ,module name, and
the date gets stored in MySQL.

We need to do it for each cvs operations. Is there any tool
or we have to write a script in perl for it

Thanks in advance

OK, the only thing worse than posting HTML in this list is *QUOTING* the
HTML.

Ramanuj, please adjust your settings to post plain-text only. I'm surprised
Mark hasn't already yelled at you for this ;-)

Alexander, please refrain from top-posting, and *PLEASE* trim your posts.

RE: Running standard CVS and CVSNT on the same repository?

[Carucci, Jason]

Why not just keep the CVS installation the same on your server and install
CVSNT on your Windows machines?  This is the setup that I'm using and it
works just fine.

Subject: Running standard CVS and CVSNT on the same repository?


I run a CVS server on FreeBSD, currently cvs v1.11.5 because that's what
came with my FreeBSD installation.  I access this server from the same
FreeBSD box, from another FreeBSD box, and from an assortment of Windows
machines, currently all using standard CVS under Windows.

I'm wondering if I can install CVSNT on the server FreeBSD box and start
letting Windows machines use that as their server instead of the standard
CVS on that box, without causing problems such as repository corruption,
incompatible repository changes made by one server and unreadable by the
other, etc.  I assume I'd be fine suddenly making everyone use the CVSNT
server, but then I'd be worried about updates to FreeBSD itself, which might
make use of the stock CVS.

Comments welcome.

*All* windows clients? Be careful with your generalizations, please. The GNU
command-line client and SmartCVS both show the file as "up-to-date". The GNU
command-line client even shows no difference, i.e. 'cvs di' returns nothing
(SmartCVS, OTOH, flags the line as changed).

This is a problem with WinCVS, not with the command-line client.

It would seem so.

FYI. I am mostly just 'ignoring' all mailing list postings that have
non-public-use license statements pasted into them at the end of the
message. I just have to 'assume' the message is not intended for me and
delete them.

In a few cases (such as this one), I have sent e-mail to the postmaster
of the offending message to complain, but it seems to do little good. 

So, in this case, I have complained to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] along
with Ramanuj suggesting that a different e-mail address that does not
believe it owns the disposition of the text of an outoing message. I
doubt it will help. There are many other folks with reasonable questions
to help, why should I spend MY TIME with those who are using anti-social
company policies?

How cvsgraph/cvsweb extract tags and branches from repository. I have
gone through their codes but I m harldly able to get some information
about the extraction of tags and branches. Or give me a script which
gives information about all the tags and branches along with the date of
creation  and name of author. This is really urgent as I m new in CVS
and working as cvs administrator. Don't tell me about the history
command as it generates reports only for the tags created with rtag
command.
Even CVSWeb also gives the graphical view of branch and tag. If u can
help me in this scenario , I will be grateful to u. Have to generate
this kind of report on urgent basis. 
I need the kind of report as history command generates for all tags. As
I have mentioned earlier the history command is not of great help as
generates report about the tags or branches created by rtag command. So
the tags created by simple tag command are not mentioned in this repor
 
I need to generate report from cvs reporsitory for a project which
displays the fields as I mentioned before. Don't need to just look up in
wincvs and get information. I have to generate report from cvs
repository. Not have to manually see those information and pen it down.
May be a script can do. There are many projects in our repository and
for each project looking at the graphical view and penning down the
information is not the stuff we have to do. I have to submit the reports
about the tags and branches on Monday. I m cvs newbee. So its really
urgent. 
The format for the report which will do is as follows, 
DateName of tag or branch Name of the author 
Right now have to generate report for the project of duration of three
months from march to may, on weekly basis 
So may be now u get the thing wat I want.

Latest stable CVS binary

[Ben Smith]

All, 
I am trying to obtain the latest stable build of CVS for Solaris 8
(1.11.16?) but the FTP server at cvshome.org does not appear to be working.
Does anyone know of an alternative site that I can download this from? The
latest version available on the Sun website is 1.11.5.

Thanks,
Ben

You'd probably be better off to build the binaries yourself from source. I
think the tarballs are available. It's not too painful - really ;=)

newbie question on initializing repository

[Bret A Cooper]

Hello,

This is a first time user question.

We have collected all of our source
files within a directory structure and are ready to initialize the cvs
repository.  There are a couple
thousand files.  Roughly 20% are binary type files and are scattered
around throughout various directories.

My original plan was to run the cvs
init command from the topmost directory and be done.  However,
I now believe its not that simple, as
the binary files(only) must be initialized with the -kb option.  
Is that correct? If so, any suggestions
on the simplest/easiest to go about this?

Thanks,
Bret Cooper

Title: Message



In 
this case, I'd import a blank project, and then use "cvs add" in a script to add 
the
files, 
using the -kb option accordingly. Here's a 
c-shell pseudo-code
 
# 
Assume *.h and *.cpp files are text files, and the rest are binary 
files...
for f 
in `find .`; then
    if [ -f $f ]; 
then
    # found a 
file, test if binary
    if [ $f == 
*.h || $f == *.cpp ]; then
   
# add binary file
   
cvs add -kb $f;
    
else
   
# add text file
   cvs 
add $f;
    else
   if [ -d $f ]; 
then
  
# add directory
  
cvs add $f;
   fi;
    fi;
done
   
 You get the idea. Gurus may have a better 
solution though

I think you mean cvs import -- init just creates a repository, it does
not populate it with user files.

If you can distinguish the binary files from the text files by their
names (e.g., *.gif files are always binary), you can use the CVS
wrappers facility to automatically handle the files correctly -- see the
manual for details (and note that you can specify -W as many times as
you need to on the import command):

  % cvs co -d fixed -r Release_0_1_Bugfixes MyProj

password authentication problem

[Jean LEE]

Hello all,
 
There si one week that I try to make a WinCVS 
client (192.168.0.2)  working with a CVS server (192.168.0.1) on Linux 
but without success. I think there is something that I have really do not 
understood. Here is what I done with pserver (I know that it is not secure but 
it seems to be the easiest) :
 
installing CVS on Linux (Redhat 7.3) in 
/usr/local/cvs/
add to PATH : 
/usr/local/cvs/bin
 
cd /usr/local/cvs
mkdir cvsroot
set CVSROOT to /usr/local/cvs/cvsroot
 
cvs init
I tried somme things locally and it works (import, 
checkout, commit,)
chmod 777 -R /usr/local/cvs (not secure but to be 
sure I have the rights...)
create passwd file in 
/usr/local/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT which contains only :
 
station:
 
set SystemAuth=no in the 'config' file in /usr/local/cvs/cvsroot
 
in /etc/xinetd.d, I created the file cvspserver 
with the lines :
 
    service cvspserver
    {
        
port                
=2401
        
socket_type    =stream
        
protocol  =tcp
        
wait                
=no
        
user                
=root
        
passenv  =PATH
        
server         
=/usr/local/cvs/bin/cvs
        
server_args = -f 
--allow-root=/usr/local/cvs/cvsroot pserver
    }
 
restart xinetd service
verify that xinetd is listening on port 2401 with 
netstat
 
 
on WINCVS :
 
Admin -> Preferences -> 
    Authentication : 
pserver    Path: 
/usr/local/cvs/cvsroothost address: 
192.168.0.1
    user name: station
 
Admin -> login
When asking for a password, I type enter without 
any password
 
Then, I received the message :
 

CVSROOT: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs/cvsroot (password 
authentication)

Which is the file or directory which is not found

Any advice would be great..
