RE: CVS Lock Errors
Steven, This is quite a common problem (at least for some people). CVS locks at the directory level on the server, by creating a "lock file". If the server process terminates unexpectedly (eg: kill -9) then the "lock file" is left in place. To "unlock" your repository remove the lock files. CVSNT (open source, GPL, Linux, Unix, Mac, Windows, just like CVS) resolves this by having a separate lock server process. If the client process dies so do the locks. It also means that checkout and update are atomic. CVSNT also includes "chacl", "lsacl" etc for setting access control lists on branhes etc which I notice was another question of yours in another thread). If you are using Tortoise on the client - by default Tortoise uses the CVSNT client (it comes with Tortoise) - you will get better integration if you use CVSNT server and Tortoise with CVSNT... If you are interested in CVSNT please refer questions to the CVSNT newsgroup: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt Regards, Arthur Barrett -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of S I Sent: Fri 6/17/2005 5:35 AM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Cc: Subject:CVS Lock Errors Hi I have a 2nd question: A user using Tortoise window's client using :pserver to the linux box, executed the commad searching for tags. Not a specific tag but all tags in the repository. The command's been running for about 15 hours now, locking cvs, and not allowing anyone else to tag. We can update, commit, etc but not tag. And I do need to tag my build today. When I try to tag, I get the error msg that so & so user has it locked. When I do -cvs admin -U, the server says waiting for the user's lock, etc. On the linux server side, I thought it was a ps process I could kill...but NONE! How can I kill this annoying process? I told him to delete all his working folders, reboot, and check out fresh and anew again. Any suggestions?

RE: Regarding check-in of unicode characters.

RE: login cvs from Linux on windows directory
Xavier, If the windows server is using CVSNT server and the repository is stored in D:\CVS then the repository will also have a "root name", which can be anything, eg: "/fred/". It is the "root name" you want to append to the CVSROOT. If there is no root name defined then use :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:d:/cvs or use :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:d:\\cvs. CVSNT questions are better directed to the CVSNT newsgroup: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt or http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt If it is a CVSNT server, the Linux client of CVSNT will give you more features than the standard CVS Linux client. http://www.cvsnt.org/ Using the directory name "CVS" on Windows or Linux is generally a bad idea (it's a reserved word).

Santosh, This is not the correct group to ask questions about WinCVS. The WinCVS message archives are accessible at http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/cvsgui. There's also a newsgroup mirror at news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsgui WinCVS fires off the "commit" command to CVSNT command line client. The commit will usually fail if there is a "newer" version on the server. The automatic update before commit feature (which is turned on by default in TortoiseCVS I think) would potentially mean you merged in changes without testing them first...

RE: CVSNT and eclipse cvs cannot connect? (newbie!)
Philliph, You are using CVSNT in "local" mode (F:\cvs), for another computer to use the repository you need to use it in client server mode. Firstly open the "CVS for NT" control panel and check that the CVSNT and Lock services are running and in the "compatibility" settings set all the switches on the "non-CVSNT" clients. This is a fix required for Eclipse. You can also use this control panel to create and name your repository rather than "cvs init". Note: "cvs" is a really bad name for a repository since "cvs" and "cvsroot" are "reserved words", try "myrepo" and "F:\myrepo" instead. The structure of a CVSROOT (the thing after -d) is :protocol:server-name:repository-name, eg: :local:f:\myrepo :sspi:localhost:/myrepo :pserver:localhost:/myrepo This is about the extent of my knowledge (I'm not really technical), if you post your question to the CVSNT newsgroup you will get a more direct response: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt There has been hiccup with the mail server over the last couple of days, so if your post bounces please wait a day and try again.

Is that advice still correct ? I have cvs-1.11.19 (binaries obtained from cvshome website) on my Windows 2000 box, and I have cvs-write permission to a sourceforge project. With 'pserver' I can 'login', 'co' and 'update' - but I can't 'commit' any changes I make. All I ever get is: cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write access to the repository Well I do have write access - I assume the problem is that fact doesn't get established. Any ideas on what I can try ? - something that's going to have the process prompt me for my password ? - or maybe some way of incorporating my password into the 'commit' command ? Following some advice I googled up I tried: cvs -d:pserver:my_username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] commit -m "message" file.ext But still exactly the same response as quoted above. I also found some advice on how to set the HOME environment variable in the win32 shell - which I did. I can see '.cvspass' in the specified directory - but still the same error. If what I'm attempting is unlikely to work, then I'll go back to using my linux box (where everything works fine). But that's a messy and fiddly alternative, so I thought I should first check that I'm not overlooking something simple re cvs on Win32. The list archives also turned up some posts that indicated that 'commit' is not going to work from the Win32 box, but the ones I saw were a couple of years old. I'm hoping they're no longer correct.

RE: CVS and tracability
CVSNT (also GPL, free, Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac etc) has a -B bug switch for "cvs edit", "cvs commit" etc etc. This can be captured by the various triggers so that each time a commit is done the information is available. You can either "log" the info there, or integrate it directly with your defect tracking system so a log message is applied to it when you commit (this is what we do). You can also cvs commit -b bug to "commit by bug number".

If you can switch to CVSNT (free, GPL, just like CVS) for Linux,
Windows, Unix etc then you can use the CVS ACL's.
Use the command cvs chacl -H for more information, eg:
cvs chacl -R -a notag -u developers

[no]{read|write|create|tag|control|all|none}

RE: cvs administration questions
Frank, WinCVS uses CVSNT as its default client. You may want to consider using CVSNT server on Linux as well (its free and GPL just like CVS - but includes access control list support). http://www.cvsnt.com Use the command cvs chacl -H for details on how to set ACL's. It is very simple to prevent write access to a branch this way... The only way you can actually remove a file from the repository is with access to the server or you can remove versions with the cvs admin command. By default CVSNT restricts these to administrators only. The CVS remove command is versioned and is therefore a "logical" delete. Note: I dont think there is a simple way to prevent "cvs remove" however you could suggest it on the CVSNT mailing list: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt There was recently (a couple of months ago) a long discussion about the "best" way to use CVS, and in particular if branches should be active and the trunk stable of vice-versa. It's quite complex and strong arguments on each side, I strongly suggest you go through the archives and have a read before committing to your strategy. You may decide to keep your strategy but you will be better informed about the pros and cons. Please direct all questions about CVSNT to the CVSNT newsgroup (links above).

Subject: CVS on OS X, Tortoise client on PC
Hello
I have been trying to get this configured for two days...I have a CVS
repository set up on my OS X box. I want my PC developers to be able
to use Tortoisecvs [http://www.tortoisecvs.org/] to make new modules
and check in/out source from the X box. We have not used CVS before,
so this has been tricky to figure out.
I have CVSNT for mac installed [www.cvsnt.org] on the mac, and the CVS
client is accessible from the command line for our development user
account (just one account for now is fine). I can create new modules
in the repository locally and check files in and out without problems.
SSH runs fine, the account can log in remotely without issue.
Ok, great. So I install Tortoise CVS on a test PC. I right click on a
test directory and choose "Make new module". I've tried many settings
but these are the ones i *believe* should be correct:
Protocol: Secure shell (:ext:)
Server: 192.168.10.2
Port: [blank]
Repository folder: /Path/to/repository
username: correctusername
I click OK. Sometimes TortoiseCVS just gives a failure message. Other
times it hangs in the "Import" window and has to be force quit ("Abort"
doesnt even work). I have no idea what to do. Has anyone gotten this
kind of configuration working properly?
Thanks,
Matt

The ACL groups and users can be tied to the operating system groups and users if you desire.

RE: Stop branch creation
Rajesh, Yes if you are using CVSNT (it is free/GPL/open source just like CVS and comes with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS or can be downloaded separately). There is both tag and merge control. The tag limits can be per branch (can't create a new branch of branch 'a') or global to the file. They can be overriden per user/group, etc. just like other acls. The merge control locks out merging between specific branches, so you can stop someone accidentally merging the development branch into the stable branch for example, unless they're a release coordinator. http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Setting-permissions.html The ACL's can of course also limit a users access to a pranch (can't commit on a production branch).

RE: DOS Command to get current branch?
Jae, If you are using DOS then you are probably using CVSNT (it is free/GPL/open source just like CVS and comes with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS or can be downloaded separately). A single sandbox (or even a single directory) can contain files form more than one repository and more than one branch. So it is not possible to find the branch for a directory. To find the branch file the file use the "cvs status " command. Alternatively if this is a script to run in a trigger then the feil CVS/Entries (in the current directory during script execution) can be examined to determine what branch the current file is on.

I'm new to CVS (having converted from the VSS world), and I'm still getting used to a lot of the concepts and commands. One of things I'm having trouble with is figuring out if I messed up when I do Updates. My question is: Is there a DOS command that let's you know what branch name the sandbox you're currently is? For example, suppose I created a new directory called "Branch A" from the main trunk. I now go into the Branch A directory, and do an update using a command line (and praying I didn't mess up the switches or names while doing so). Is there an easy way to verify that I actually got "Branch A"'s latest files/label by typing in a DOS command that tells me what the sandbox REALLY is? NOT what I think it is (I think it's the branch, since I named my sandbox "Branch A", but I'd like to be sure). I need to use DOS because I'm running some scripts to automatically bring down and build source code. I'm sure there's some nifty GUI ways to do this, but right now I'm really concerned about the DOS command (actually, it would be nice to know if you can do this using shells).

RE: Can't synchronize between WSAD and CVSNT correctly
John, The correct newsgroup for CVSNT questions is here: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt You will need CVSNT Server 2.0.58c or later (preferably 2.0.58d) to work with WSAD/Eclipse.

Ultimately if you want to develop directly on the iSeries then you may find that you require a CVSNT client for AS/400.

So I thought I could put the HTMLs under version Control to CVSNT and use WSAD as CVS client. These templates are on a test-environment on an AS/400, we develop directly there, and we see immediately the result of the changes (I know, it's not a good practice to develope onthe server, but at the moment it is so.) Resumee: - The tHTML tremplates are on a test-environment on the AS/400 - The CVSNT Server is on a Windows XP Server. - WSAD is on a Windows XP Workstation. Now the idea: I made a "linking import" in WSAD to these templates of the AS/400, so now I see the HTMLs that resides on the AS/400 in my CVS client in WSAD (Note: The files resides not on my local workspace C:\). Then I shared the project containing these HTMLs on the CVSNT Server. The idea is that when I work on a file, and click on "save", the file is saved directly on the AS400 and I can see immediately the change the effect in the browser. What I expected however is that when I synchronize the folder containing the HTML templates, the CVSNT should show me the differences, and the I should be able to commit or merge the files in the CVSNT repository. Instead however, I get the message that the Workspace on the AS400 is identical with the repository of the CVS Server. So I cannot see any version history and I con't load an older version from the CVS repository. The files on the AS400 corresponds always to the files on the CVS repository and this happens without making a commit, but simply making a "Save". Do I make something wrong or is it however possible to realize my idea? In practice I don't want to have a local workspace on my C:\ , instead I want to use the server on the AS400 as "locale workspace". Any suggestion to this procedure/idea? Thanks for your answers.

Neti, If you are using WinCVS on the client then you are most likely using the CVSNT client to connect to the server (it is bundled with WinCVS). CVSNT Server is free (GPL - just like cvs) and available for Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac OS X etc and may be configured to run as any user at run time. http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Runas-User.html Regards, Arthur Barrett "Malhotra, Neti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] All, I am looking for an opinion on the correct way to configure my server so that I can access CVS locally from the server as well as from a PC using WinCVS. Here's the dilemna. Before upgrading to cvs 1.11.17, cvs was owned by a user on our system called cvs (id=9001), and group also called cvs (id=2525) with the sticky bit set (i.e. 4755). Therefore most of the files in the repository are owned by 9001:2525. With 1.11.17 configured as before, running cvs locally works, but running in pserver mode fails. I think what is happening in pserver mode is: - Inetd kicks off cvs as root:root, so the relevant ids are: real user is root:root user is retrieved from password file as root:other effective user is 9001:root - Cvs tries to setgid to the group id retrieved from the password file (other). I'm guessing this fails because the effective user is 9001. I tried to fix this by unsetting the sticky bit on the cvs executable, i.e. keep it owned by 9001:2525 and keep perms at 755. That worked just fine in pserver mode, but now causes cvs to fail (unable to create cvslock) when running it on the server. I decided then to change the ownership of cvs to root:2525, with the sticky bit set (perms=4755). This seems to work for both pserver and server modes, but now the files in the repository are owned by root. I don't know that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it makes me a little nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions/opinions on the correct way to set this up? I guess another option may be to kick off cvs as the 9001 user in inetd. Do you think that's a better option?

RE: Supply of password for connecting to cvs from windows.
Ragothaman, If you are using TortoiseCVS client then you are using the CVSNT client. Are you sharing a single sandbox with several developers? If this is the case I think that the SSPI protocol may suit you better since the username is not coded into the CVSROOT (it comes from your windows login instead).

Hi, I have cvs installed on Linux and TortoiseCVS installed on windows clients. I have configured pserver on cvs and connecting through windows. It is working perfectly. This setup checkouts or checkins using password authentication by the pserver. However, since I am having a large number of users working across several projects, I need to get the password from the user and then update. This is required because the user not connected with a project may simply checkout or change and commit using a known username and this needs to be avoided.

RE: WinCVS General tab missing
Robert, Further to my earlier e-mail here is a response form Jerzy Kaczorowski from the WinCVS bug tracker. --- General tab is not missing - it was removed and replaced by the explicit option for commands that need it (e.g. import, checkout). The settings of General tab were largely ignored anyway (the cause of notorious FAQ like "how do I change CVSROOT" or "I changed the settings and it didn't work") since the CVSROOT value is taken from the sandbox metadata anyway. Current implementation also supplies fully automatic CVSROOT wizard based on "cvs info" command that is superior to the hardcoded approach of General tab. It will also remember and suggest values for any given (sub)folder if it was previously used so it very easy to operate and doesn't require re-typing the same for consquent commands. "Type once use everywhere" approach. BTW: cvs-info is not the best group to look for WinCvs help.

Re: cvs cannot process Chinese characters?
Peng Jian, As far as I am aware - traditional CVS only accepts characters in the US-ASCII codepage unless it is marked as binary. If you mark it as binary then you will not be able to do diff/merge. CVSNT is an open source (free) replacement for traditional CVS available for Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac OS X etc etc, that supports multiple code pages and also Unicode files. You can download it here: http://www.cvsnt.com This page talks a little about it: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Substitution-modes.html If you are using CVSNT 2.0.58 server and client then most likely you will not have to change any settings - it will simply work properly the first time.

Deborah, This page describes the major differences between CVSNT and CVS: http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/compare.htm CVSNT is available for Linux, Windows, Unix, Mac OS X etc etc. It is identical on all platforms, however some platforms have features which others do not eg: if your Unix does not have an ssh library, and Windows does not support case sensitive filenames (yet). CVSNT has been developed over six years independantly of CVS, and supports modern memory models and modern configuration management best practice - including more advanced resreved edits (locks) as well as atomicity and transaction control.

Re: What does this warning mean?
What does this warning mean?Harold, This was asked on the CVSNT group some time ago, I found this answer by Bo Berglund: I asked and was never answered. AFAICT the problem comes up if you check out a module to a shortened path. Say that you have a sandbox and now you want to check out a different module as a subdirectory in it: cvs co -d Charlie Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie This will get you the contents of the Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie folder into a folder with the name Charlie in the current sandbox. This structure seems to make the messages mentioned pop up at various times. I don't have a full analysis on these cases since I just moved on at the time, though CVSNT is the default CVS client that comes with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS.

Re: using WSAD 5.1 with WinCVS
Ajay, WinCVS comes with CVSNT (a free/open source/gpl multi-platform CVS server and client). It's this that actually does all the "work". Eclipse/WSAD requires a quite recent version of CVSNT. You can download the latest (2.0.51d) from: http://www.cvsnt.com The WinCVS and CVSNT teams work quite closely together and it's OK to upgrade CVSNT and still use the older WinCVS (but give it a little test to be sure).

Re: Total Heresy: CVS & Windows MS Office Docs
(I sent this to your e-mail address - but it bounced...)
Yes CVS certainly can version office documents...
As Doug mentioned - it cannot do any merging.
CVSNT which is a multi-platform, open source (free) replacement for
traditional CVS has some additional features which may help you, in
particular the efficient storage of binary files (based on binary deltas).
You can download CVSNT Server and Client here:
http://www.cvsnt.com
You can combine this with a "GUI" like TortoiseCVS (CVSNT client comes with
Tortoise) to even show diff's between word documents (may require some
additional software). GUI's like Tortoise do this by getting the two copies
that you want to see the differences between from CVSNT and then calling a
"3rd program" to display the differences. This can be Word (called by COM)
or any other tool.
Many people do not like the versioning built into Word because it stores all
the previous revisions in the same document - so if you "lost" the one
document you "lose" all the documents. Also anyone who has access to the
document also has access to all the previous information which the document
contained.

Arthur Barrett

Press Release (CVS Professional Support and CVSNT)
PRESS RELEASE *** Supporting versioning systems across the enterprise *** March Hare announces complete CVS support offering Complete support, training and installation services for world's most popular version control system, CVS 17th August 2004: International IT consultancy March Hare has launched a full portfolio of support, training and installation services for the world's most deployed version control system, CVS (concurrent versions system). Since its inception several years ago, CVS has become the dominant open-source, transparent version control solution, allowing developers to create and amend working versions of source code without the worry of overwriting each other's changes or losing archived versions. As a key player in CVS' continued development for the last five years, March Hare now offers a mixture of support plans to suit all organisation types - from small communities of users to large international development teams - helping them to realise the cost savings attached to deploying a version control environment. "Today's development communities often span multiple time-zones in multiple enterprise locations whilst collaborating on single projects," explains Tony Hoyle, Development Manager at March Hare. "CVSNT's popularity has increased exponentially as a means of managing multi-developer teams within Windows, Unix, MAC OS X and Linux environments. The control system tool [CVS] is widely available free of charge. However, it became apparent that companies needed to minimise risk and ensure the security and stability of the software that keeps them running. Our support and training packages are designed for this purpose." All support plans provide customised security issue notification, regular patch delivery, telephone support (worldwide) and input into feature development. Training for users and administrators is also provided. "Effective version control is essential for the management of successful enterprise development projects", adds Adrian Gosbell, Uniface Product Manager at Compuware. "The value that March Hare offers to organisations successfully building and maintaining mission critical Uniface applications has been expanded with the inclusion of CVS as part of their offering to the development community". "For an organisation new to CVS it is essential that CVS installation is aligned with the company culture and its requirements. One of the features of CVS is its flexibility - which can translate into decision paralysis for an organisation new to corporate configuration management. March Hare assists with its proven QuickStart Requirements Analysis programme, in addition we can integrate defect tracking systems, build management and tree management systems into the environment," finishes Hoyle. Support services start at £2000 for a single site. Platform support will continue to be expanded to include MVS, OS/400, VMS, 64 bit Windows, Windows Clusters and more. http://www.march-hare.com/ -Ends- ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

RE: /#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for
Jim, Quite a number of the questions on this list are from users like yourself with WinCVS or TortoiseCVS who don't realise they have CVSNT. CVSNT uses additional metadata stored in the client CVS folder that CVS (cvshome) does not know about. This is to support the additional features of CVSNT. CVSNT can work with a CVS (cvshome) server - but some of the additional features are not available. http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/compare.htm Therefore any CVS clients that use a sandpit generated by CVSNT will not behave in a consistent manner. CVSNT is available for Linux/Unix/Windows/Mac so this is easily solved. CVSNT does not require cygwin or any other non-GPL (commercial) software. You should commit on the same platform you did a checkout to ensure consistency and ensure that CR/LF pairs and LF only line endings are not mixed in the one file.

RE: /#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for
Jim, Apologies for not replying sooner - but I've been following the discussion closely and talking with our developers to ensure that I understand what our position on this issue is. You are using WinCVS which is a "front end" to CVSNT - CVSNT is the default client for WinCVS and TortoiseCVS. CVSNT is also GNU/GPL/Freeware, and runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, HPUX etc etc (and soon on IBM iSeries too!). March Hare Software provide commercial support for CVSNT - hence my interest in finding the "correct" answer for you. Using a sandpit with CVS (cvshome) and CVSNT clients is dangerous and not supported. Since CVSNT is available for all platforms I suggest you use it on the linux box and client. You can use a CVS (cvshome) server and CVSNT client(s) however some of the more advanced features of CVSNT are not available: http://march-hare.com/cvspro/compare.htm You also mention the "line feeds only" setting (-kL) - the reason why you did not get much reaction on this is that this setting is ONLY available on CVSNT. My suggestions to resolve your problem mostly concurr with the other responses: 1. Use the same client on both Linux and Windows (CVSNT 2.0.51c is a good choice here since it is the default WinCVS client). http://www.cvsnt.com/ 2. Always commit from either linux OR windows. 3. you can automatically keep two sandboxes in synch using the POSTCOMMIT trigger in CVSNT (server). I hope this information is helpful. If you have more questions please do not hesitate to ask on the free open source newsgroup for CVSNT: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt or http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Professional support, training and installation is available from March Hare Software: http://march-hare.com/cvspro/?land=EN&pdf=3 Regards, Arthur Barrett -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jim Page - emailsystems.com Sent: Wed 8/18/2004 1:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject:/#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for I found a post in an archive regarding this issue which came quite close to an answer, but not quite. I thought I would share my efforts in case it saves someone some time. Here is the root of teh original thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2002-09/msg9.html Environment: Running unix/Windows cvs clients on source located on a volume shared between OSs, shared using either Samba or Windows Services for unix NFS (I tried both). specifically, unix client: cvs (various versions 1.11.2 up to the latest stable release, under linux). Windows clients: WinCVS and the PushOK cvs proxy for VisualStudio. The server is a linux box running cvs 1.11.17, on slackware 9. Symptom: Running pretty much any cvs command on a client (unix or windows) results in something like the following: ... cvs stuff ... cvs status: Examining . /#cvs.lock): No such file or directoryctory for `/home/cvsroot/blah 'vs status: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/home/cvsroot/blah cvs [status aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Fix: Run dos2unix (or similar) on the CVS/Repository file in the client directory. Note this problem is on the client, not the server. The problem is that the DOS EOL at the end of the path in CVS/Repository is interpreted as part of the path. This may be an incomplete fix, as I am a newvie running a cvs server, but it seems to have worked for me with no ill effects.

RE: "Local access to network share not supported" Error
Shamim,
WinCVS uses the CVSNT client by default. By upgrading WinCVS you have also upgraded
CVSNT.
I believe that you are using a CVSROOT like this (where h: is a network drive):
:local:h:\cvsrep\
Is this correct? If so then this is considered a non-optimal way to use the product.
We discovered that many people were trying this and it can result in serious damage to
your source code. In order to encourage people NOT to do this the error message was
added. As described in the message you can override it with the -N option (or put it
in your CVSRC file if you must).
For most windows users the SSPI protocol is simple and quick to set up. Merely install
CVSNT on the server and use the CVS control panel to set up your repository. Users
are authenticated using Active Directory (just like your windows share).
The latest version of CVSNT can be downloaded from:
http://march-hare.com/cvspro
March Hare provide free downloads and also commercial support.

Hi there,
I've just upgraded my version of WinCVS from v1.3.13.2 to v1.3.17.2
Our repository is stored on another server and is accessed directly accross
our LAN. Before the upgrade everything was working quite well, however now
it seems every time I try to perform any operation (update, commit, diff,
etc.) on a file the action is aborted with the following error message:
cvs [ {action} aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use -N
to override this error).
where 'action' is either diff, log, commit etc.
I've looked through some old posts about this error but they only seem to
address the issue on a unix/linux configuration. I'm new to CVS so I was
wondering if anyone else has had this problem after upgrading to a newer
version of WinCVS.
thanks and regards,

RE: upgrading cvs version
Scot, If you are building from source because you cant find a recent binary - the Red Hat binaries from www.cvsnt.com are the latest as at Saturday (2.0.51b)...

I use the latest yum updated version of cvs on it. However, I want to go to the latest version of cvs from source. What is the reccommended practice. Should I do some sort of yum uninstall of the version currently on the server, then build the source version. Or should I just build and install the source version over what is there?

RE: encoding problem
Ewald Geschwinde, CVSNT is an open source implementation of CVS for Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac OS X etc that also support Unicode. With the "-ku" option the file will be checked in/out in UCS-2 (or UTF-16) encoding and internally stored as UTF-8 by the server. If you can use unicode files for your multilingual documents then CVSNT will handle line endings, diff's and merges etc across all platforms. Use: cvs add -ku mydoc.txt cvs commit -m "Add a new unicode document" You can get CVSNT from http://www.cvsnt.com/ Regards, Arthur Barrett -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Ewald Geschwinde Sent: Mon 8/9/2004 9:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject:encoding problem I have an encoding problem in CVS we are developing a java application and have som umlauts like ä Ä and so on The cvs server runs on a fedora core 1 and in the shell I can type this umlauts Is there a parameter which I can set the encoding type of the cvs repositories Regards Ewald Geschwinde ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: Setting up a server
Tim, WinCVS actually uses CVSNT client by default (CVSNT is open source but optimised for Windows servers and clients). It has a separate mailing list for reporting problems too, and if you use CVSNT for your server (Unix,Windows,Mac,Linux) then it supports more other (more secure?) protocols.

RE: problem with cvs trying to remove directories
Allen, It sounds like you are using the command "cvs update -d". This will attempt to remove directories that exist on the local copy that no longer exist (on this branch) on the server. Are you using CVS or CVSNT? CVSNT is open source but optimised for Windows servers and clients. It has a separate mailing list for reporting problems too.

When I do an update, it updates the files and directories just fine, but it keeps saying cvs server: cannot remove directory: Directory not empty now, I don't want the directory removed and there are things inside it that cvs updates just fine.

Re: Shadow passwords on Mac OS X (Panther)
John, CVSNT is a more modern and feature rich version of CVS - and is still open source. The company which I work for provide professional support and parter with the open source team to create new ports and new features. We recently ported CVSNT to Mac OS X. On Windows CVSNT supports Windows native authentication and we would like our OS X port to also support "native" authentication. If you can assist (even with your knowledge of Mac authentication methods) please contact me and I'll put you in touch with a more technical person in our organisation. You can download cvsnt from our web site: http://march-hare.com/cvspro Information about professional support, training and installation is also available at this address.

RE: Binary for Digital Unix V4.0D / Tru64 Unix
Thanks for your help, I now have the binary! The particular machine is in a bit of a state which prevents compilation of the code.
