Re: WinCVS- save settings??
Paddy Thomas, The save settings dialog let you save settings (like the CVSROOT, the compression) per sandbox checked-out on your machine. When you jump from on copy to the other, the settings are loaded automatically and a message is sent on the console window to reflect that.

Re: WinCvs Menu Names
That's true, I guess this remark is not in the bugzilla database for WinCvs : http://devnet.3d.com/bugzilla/ That's why it was not part of 1.2.

Re: Wincvs Checkout only checks out folders!
Jim, You should see whether your repository is all contained in one branch. If it's the case, you need to check-out with the name of the branch, cause cvs is using by default the head branch. If you don't think it was in a branch, try to check-out on Unix, it should do the same thing. It may have to do with the way you used to import the repository.

If you got a .cvsignore file where are located your .class files, and if your .cvsignore contains "*.class", then the import will ignore them. The WinCvs import dialog doesn't handle the .cvsignore (this is missing feature) but cvs will. There is no way to force anyone to do something with cvs as a general manner. The WinCvs import dialog let you ignore the .class files if you wish by double-clicking and setting the ".class" entry to "Ignore". Regards, alex.

Re: WinCVS Pserver. Stratadev Host error
Steve, There is a Macro named "Change Root" which will change all the CVS/Root file of a checked-out copy (usefull if your server changes location and you don't want to recheck-out). If you open this file, you'll see that the macro is not functional unless you uncomment the first line. There is an example of how to do that with a fake machine which happens to be the one you're talking about. I assumed the user opened the file, uncomment these lines, then applied it on the local checked-out copy. On order to retore the correct settings, you got to apply this macro again with this time the good Root ! Regards, alex. Steve Cowling wrote: > > hello, > I am running WinCVS 1.0.6 on Windows2000.

To me it looks like WinCVS just assumes that the client is GMT? Well cvs does that. The date you see in WinCvs is UTC. Just the one stored in CVS/Entries, which is a cvs date. May be WinCvs should try to display a local time instead. Regards, alex.

I think you expect to have the cvs locking informations, while the macro
really provides the "read-only" state of the file, which is now for
something completly different ;-)

I think it's ok to use. The cvs.exe of WinCvs has minor compilation
patches for building against VisualC++. But it's real identical to the
original branch.
For example, you can check-out the WinCvs code and issue a "cvs diff -r
CVSGUI1108 -r CVS1108" in cvsgui/cvs-1.10. You'll see that there are a
bunch of new VisualC++ projects (updated for the latest versions), some
compilations problems, a lot of macintosh code for MacCvs and finally
some changes enclosed in #ifdef CVSGUI_SHL which are compiled only for
the cvs used by WinCvs (a dll, not the cvs.exe) and which are related to
the communication of cvs and WinCvs : as an example, these are the kind
of changes :
RCS file: /cvsroot/cvsgui/cvs-1.10/diff/diff3.c,v
retrieving revision 1.1.1.4.2.1
retrieving revision 1.1.1.4
diff -r1.1.1.4.2.1 -r1.1.1.4

I don't know. I maintain this part of WinCvs. What I do is importing the

Daniel, This is missing feature of WinCvs, and if you got time, why don't you fill up a report in the bugzilla system ? But you can get around it by typing in the WinCvs console : > cvs commit -m "a commit message" -r2.0 WS_FTP.LOG Regards, alex.

It looks like the cvs server returns a permission to apply locally by the client, but I don't know why and on which basis. It would take someone who knows the protocol to know why suddenly the server is returning some permissions to apply locally. I noticed that for my internal cvs server : it doesn't do that while for the WinCvs server, it does. Both run cvs-1.10.8.

Re: WinCvs 1.1b13 problem - workaround
Hello,
Since b13, the toolbars location should be saved : I changed in MainFrm.cpp
:
state.LoadState(_T("Bar State"));
The previous string didn't match the one CJLib expected. Since then, it
works better for me. However if I move the docking windows too much,
sometimes it still disappears. I'd like to blame CJLib, but I'm not sure.
May be I got something wrong. The CJLib mailing list is complaining from
time to time about the saving of the docking toolbars.
Hope it helps,
alex.

What remains to be done, as pointed by you, is the graph window (technical problem with a scrolling window which prevented me to make the picking and add the commands attached to the view) as well as the TCL console (this seems fairly simple) + some details and fixes. The priority is more on the existing clients right now (the shipping of 1.1 of WinCvs), as well as on the MacOS X port of MacCvs and on third parties developments (Jerzy work and an upcoming Cvs shell extension in explorer done by Francis Irving).

David, gCvs is still in Alpha stage, it's not feature complete. What you relate have not been implemented yet. gCvs is going to be advantage for WinCvs users because the interface is going to be alike. However, tkCvs is still the best choice on Unix for now.

No, I think it's related to the option CVS_ADMIN in option.h which cannot work on a non-unix client because it uses the unix group to determine if the user can or cannot make the change. This is a poor behavior of cvs which has been here for years. Yes you're right, the only way may be to twickle the CVSROOT folder. But I don't know how. Yes the command is dangerous. That's real usefull for me, cause along with the command "Select non significant", I can remove all the non-significant revisions (which do not have a branch or a tag on it) for the huge binaries files in my repository.

Re: R: WinCVS external diff
Glen, If you intend to use a tcl program as an external diff, it has to be an executable, not a script file (blame WinCvs, we could implement this option really). As opposed to Unix, Windows doesn't interpret the #!/bin/wish: so you can come-up with a .bat file (let say launchDiff.bat) which contents something like "C:\TCL\bin\wish C:\tkdiff.tcl $1 $2".

Re: cvs update -p behaviour in WinCVS
Harald, You can not expect to redirect the stdout because of TCL (the shell used in WinCvs) lacks this. However you can probably do the same thing with TCL, but it's complicated. Instead, you can open-up the graph for this file, and ask to compare against the version you're interested in. If you have a good diff utility, you can do the merge right away. Or you simply look where is the file checked-out (probably in C:\TEMP\myfile.revision.c) and you can use it to merge it manually. Regards, alex.

[BUG] A nice one... cvs making it twice
In main.c of cvs-1.10.8 we have :
/* Create the list. */
assert (root_directories == NULL);
root_directories = getlist ();
/* Prime it. */
if (CVSroot != NULL)
{
Node *n;
n = getnode ();
n->type = NT_UNKNOWN;
n->key = xstrdup (CVSroot);
n->data = NULL;
if (addnode (root_directories, n))
error (1, 0, "cannot add initial CVSROOT %s", n->key);
}
But "getlist" has already added a default node inside of type "HEADER".
So we got *two* nodes in the list when cvs goes the main loop :
while (
#ifdef SERVER_SUPPORT
server_active ||
#endif
walklist (root_directories, set_root_directory, NULL)
)
The side effect is that the loop is executed *twice* !!! It takes twice
the time to update, commit...
A quick fix is :
static int
set_root_directory (p, ignored)
Node *p;
void *ignored;
{
>if (current_root == NULL && p->data == NULL && p->type == NT_UNKNOWN)
data == NULL)
{
current_root = p->key;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

Re: Q:WinCVS - how to selected files in multiple dirs?

That's one capability I'd like us to add : a tab window with a search capability. You can search files, drag files in a container and after you can issue whatever you want on these files. Should not be that hard to do. Ideally we could have several of these containers and they would be persistents (the content would be saved). But you're right, right now it's not possible.

Greg is not It's important to have an API in cvs. The protocol is enough for those who choosed to use it. Now we want (our users and contributors on wincvs.org) an SCC version, a COM version, possibly integrate it into other applications (ex. Metrowerks, VisualC++) and so on. And the protocol is just not enough. It's just *not* reasonnable to rewrite all the handling of the protocol for *each* client. Look at gcvs : it uses the gimp (http://www.gimp.org) mechanism for plug-ins in order to expose a C-API of cvs to a client (a GTK application). A C-API for CVS makes sense. Just you don't care, that's different. Regards, alex. http://www.wincvs.org
Re: About buttons....
Richard and the others, I'd like to say that this sort of discussion discourage both Richard, me, Jerzy, Greg and everybody who is welling to spread cvs. I'm personnaly stoned by the number of people who turned to cvs due to the efforts of projects like MacCvsPro, WinCvs, jcvs and others (I noticed that according to the mail box of WinCvs.org and the stats on the pages). Just make some querys on the web, you'll see. It is just fair to begin to think a little bit like the regular Windows-Web users who turns to cvs : they want some high level stuff. On the other hand, I don't want to discourage the old contributors like Greg, because they worked a lot to make cvs work and we still need great volume of work on cvs. But it has to exist a middle position which allows everybody in the cvs community to take advantage of new developments, capabilities... a much faster way than that we can see now. I'd like to blame someone, but I could blame me as well. None of us guy has the time to do the job that Jim was doing on the list. And may be one person is not enough. We lack some tools like bugzilla, a TODO, some develpments archives, some exp. branches, a proper make mechanism (cvs is not using automake at all...) and a good web site for cvs !!! I'd like to see some discussions in this direction before we can get to the real stuff. If there is a fork to do, that's on the web pages. A good web site for cvs. This would help messy people like me to think twice before asking to add new buttons ;-) Regards, Sorry for the English, ale.x Richard Wesley wrote: > > >[ On Friday, February 18, 2000 at 17:38:32 (CST), Win32 M$ wrote: ] > >> Subject: About buttons > >> > >> There is few more, but I think that will make the point.

[Q] gpg + cvs (instead of ssh) ?
Hello, A lot of users are coming to wincvs.org and asking for ssh on Windows and Mac. I know this is supposed to work with cvs on Unix, but it's a hell difficult to configure on Windows and also it's not available on Mac (and it's a commercial product). Those who are not interested in improving cvs on several platforms can quit right away this thread. Recently I discovered gpg (http://www.gnupg.org). I wonder if someone would be welling to try to integrate that with cvs. It has all the advantages of GNU and it would be a hell of an enhancement to have encryption coming along with cvs. The problem is that gpg doesn't come as a library, but I guess it would be possible to add a pipe interface to gpg in order to decode/encode streaming TCP/IP along with cvs. If someone is already thinking about that, please contact me. If you guys are welling to be part of a new project consisting in integrating gpg with cvs, please contact me as well. I'm perhaps not the right person, but I'm tired to have people asking over and over for the same kind of features every day on all the wincvs.org clients. Regards, alex. http://www.gnupg.org : The GNU Privacy Guard http://www.wincvs.org : gCvs, MacCvs, WinCvs
[ANN] gtkcvs, gcvs, whatever... version 1.0a1
Hello, I'm pleased to announce the first snapshot of gcvs 1.0a1. Check-out the download pages of http://www.wincvs.org. The idea is to get a GTK front-end + a cvs process : * The GTK front-end : written in C++, wrapped around a "pseudo interface library". The idea is to be able to port that on others frameworks (like KDE). The widgets are designed with glade. * The cvs process is built around the current source code of cvs (1.10.7) patched in order to support the mechanism of the gimp plug-ins. Still, you can use it as a regular cvs. So far is available 50% of the WinCvs features. Well I'm not sure about the name "gcvs" since other projects my claim this name, so I was thinking for the next versions about "gtkcvs" or "marcel" or "dude-cvs" ;-) Enjoy, alex.
