Distributed CVS

CVS mirror via pserver
Hello, I'd like to use some kind of a tool which is able to mirror complete CVS repository using pserver protocol (*,v files all directories). Is there something like that? Normally I use CVSup to mirror CVS. It's pretty nice but requires cvsup daemon running on the CVS server. I have no account on CVS server. I just can use pserver protocol. -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: file permissions
Hi Lu, Please check cvspermissions http://www.magic-cauldron.com/cm/cvspermissions/cvspermissions.html if it doesn't meet your requirements.

Re: wrong commit/ seeking branching advice
Hi Ed, Is there a way to reverse the changes, or at least move the changed revision from the main trunk to the branch? CVS is like the toilet paper - once you use it, it's not clean to roll it back ;-) To get over it just make a desired branch from a current main trunk, then ckeck out recent main trunk, export (cvs export) the version you want to be `on the top' and commit changes. it to use MySQL on a central server. In this case, is it natural to use the branching technique to differentiate the non-Mysql app to the MySQL app? Or should I just forget the branches and use a seperate repository? It depends up to you. Generally speaking branches are good for several versions of the same software. If your apps share the same source files, branches would help you. If this is not the case you can use modules to have everything together but relatively independent. Separate repositories expect no links between projects. You can define independent permissions, pre and post-commit actions etc. but you are not sharing the same sources.

consistency checker
Hello, is there any *,v file(s) consistency checker? I use cvsup to mirror a huge CVS repository. Since a certain day cvsup complains: Invalid RCS file: 290608: Num expected -- will transfer entire file or Checksum mismatch -- will transfer entire file whenever some original files are touched by cvs (eg. when these files have a new tag) Since likely corrupted files are really big, cvsup makes useless traffic... An advice is welcome. Thank you. -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Turning modules into repositories
we host a cvs server that uses only one big repository. Different projekts are handled as different modules inside this repository. Now we would like to open a new cvs server with several repositories. Is is possible to just copy the modules from their old position (as part of the big repository) to their new positions so that each module will be a repository of its own? Can this be done by simply copying the module on the server or is it better to check out the modules and import them into their new repositories? Are there any traps that have to be regarded extra carefully? The simplest way IMO is to export all desired modules and import them to the appropriate repositories. (use `cvs export' rather then `cvs co' to avoid creation of CVS auxiliary dirsfiles) Nevertheless, this approach can be used only if you don't care about history. If you have to keep the history of modules you can copy the whole content of current repository to several places and invoke standard removal. If you just copy the module you lose administrative info which is held in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT dir. -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Any way to _only_ checkout/export of all changed file(s)between2 tags from cvs
Hi Chris,
I don't know 'pure' cvs solution but I think you can use such a trick:
cvs -Q rdiff -s -r TAG1 -r TAG2 module_name|awk '{print $2}'|xargs cvs co
where module_name could be a directory name also.
Step by step desc.:
cvs -Q rdiff -s -r TAG1 -r TAG2 module_name
generate a list of changed files in following format:
File foo/bar.c changed from revision 1.8 to 1.9
awk '{print $2}'
filter all but file name
output: foo/bar.c
xargs cvs co
build and execute command(s) from std. input
eg. execute cmd: cvs co foo/bar.c

Re: a list of changed files
Hello Larry, could you tell me how could I obtain a list of all files which were changed during a certain period limited by revisions/dates? These files should be only from a specified module (including theirs path from $CVSROOT). Is it possible to do it without checkout? You should be able to get what you want from cvs rlog -S. Unfortunatelly, this seems not to be the clue. There is no such option for rlog in version 1.11.1p1 (which I use). # cvs rlog -S rlog: invalid option -- S Well, I can upgrade if it helps. If you meant cvs rlog -s, it is still not what I need, because states of files are to be applied (IMHO) on working copy of files. I imagine st. like this: cvs my_cmd -D mydate1 mydate2 mymodule and it should generate a list of files which were changed between mydate1 and mydate2 in mymodule If it is possible only in a newer version than 1.11.1p1, I can upgrade. If there is no such feature within cvs itself it would be grateful to know about a script which can do it. Otherwise, I should write such a script. -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

RE: synchronizing multiple CVS-repositories .... ?
Hi, CVSup doesn't depend on CVS (it can work with non CVS files). But for CVS (more precisly RCS) files is more efficient. Thus, it's only up to you which part of cvs repository you will synchronize. Let's suppose your $CVSROOT contains: CVSROOT - cvs admin files global - files to share local - files for local purpose only If you synchronize only global dir, you can only see changes. Adding CVSROOT you can do check-out but not check-in (you can do checkin via pserver to the original rep.) For details see: www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html As far as I understand CVSUP lets me get a copy of the whole source tree from a remote server. This will give me one version of every element (file). correct? What I want is to be able to synchronize the complete repository between sites. So every site would have the complete history for every file available (for checkout of a different version *without* having to contact the server.) (I know that there are issues with concurrency and simultaneous changes. I can control these ... by doing it the way Ratinal's Clearcase Multisite does it.) But is there a technical way to synchronize only the pieces that I need to ... ? -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: How to only checkout files (not being able to commit)?
Hi, I have a CVS folder which I don't want to be checkoutable (this has been achieved simply by chmod the appropriate rights). However, it has a subfolder which I do want people to be able to checkout/update from BUT not being able to commit to. Is this possible to do? That's quite strange but possible, perhaps. You can add a line to the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitinfo like this: pattern $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitscript If pattern matches your checkout-only subfolder, commitscript is invoked. If the script returns non-zero value, commit is cancelled. Sample script: #!/bin/sh echo You are not allowed to commit changes to this directory exit 1 Developers/users should see: cvs commit: Examining ... You are not allowed to commit changes to this directory cvs commit: Pre-commit check failed cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first! I've tried using LockDir in CVSROOT but to no avail.

cvs repository mirror
Hello, I would like to solve following problem. Since we have a huge amount of code and a relatively slow line, we need st. like repository mirror. (to avoid hours lasting checkouts) In fact we need the local and remote repository. In the ideal case we have everything from remote repository (changes,tags,rtags,branches...) in the local one plus possibility to make local-only branches in the local repository. So, to tar+gzip the whole remote repository periodicaly (and unzip as a local rep.) isn't a solution because we lost a possibility to store local branches. Could you recommend me any technique, please? Having 2 CVSROOTs at once for checkin would be perfect but only hypothetical unless we write an cvs wrapper... -- Best regards, Dusan Juhas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
