Re: Info-cvs Digest, Vol 27, Issue 40
Hi all, I am using eclipse cvs repository view for downloading the cvs repository jar files. Could any one pls tell me how the jar files can be downloaded after importing them to the cvs repository. You need to make sure they are of type binary, either when importing or later with the admin command. Once this is fixed you need to check if the files in the repository are ok. As they are probably not you need to commit working versions. After then the checkout should work fine. Please search in the archives, look for binary files, this has come up many times.

Re: Updating revision number on a branch.
Heh, I think you misunderstood my second message. I meant that we wanted to make the change for cosmetic reasons, not that it WAS a cosmetic change. After reading on how the branches are created, I understand why you don't want to mess with those. However, I don't understand what the problem is with updating the revision numbers on the main trunk. Am I seriously missing something because I see people doing this all the time? :) Or are all these people just treading into dangerous waters? And yes, we know how to use symbolic tags and have been using them, so the issue isn't that we don't know how to do that. This is just a curiosity thing at this point in time. As a general rule, I resist any changes for cosmetic reasons to a non-cosmetic process, tool or data. Another possibility could be to start a new module/repository. Then it's quite clear where the files come from, even if they only have 1.x revisions. Of course that needs some work as well, new checkouts... bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Urgent help needed: recover lots of files from Attic
I've accidentally removed a whole source tree, which contains 500 source code files (plain text only, no binary). I searched the web, and found ways to recover files from Attic one by one, namely: - use cvs admin -o 1.x (deleted file), or - use cvs update -j 1.x -j 1.y (deleted file) both methods I can successfully recover one file. However, the problem is I have 500 files, and they are separated into about 200 folders. Is there a batch way that I can recover all files in one go? If the files are still in the repository, why don't you checkout/update to a time (-D) just before the removing? Like that you should get back all missing files.

RE: loosing branch when updating to a tag on the branch
This brings up a question I've had for quite a while: is there a way to close a branch? The only thing I can think of offhand would be to mark the tip of the branch as dead, by using 'cvs remove'. It won't prevent anyone from resurrecting the branch, though. It defeats version control, but can't you remove all versions on the branch and then remove the branch tag itself? That is of course only if the branch was just for some work and the work is now in the trunk. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Creating a CVS environment
However, the issue I have is that we have no access to a Unix Server as we are completely PC based, sharing files on a common group drive, and it is my understanding that you cannot locate a CVS repository on a shared windows server. Is that correct ? This works fine. You only can get issues if you use different OS (or even different versions) on the server/client computers. In order to get around this, I have been thinking of implementing the following environment: RedHat Linux running under VMWare on a Windows XP machine CVS server running upon the virtual Linux machine CVS repository residing upon common group drive configured via Linux Client PC's running WinCVS to access the central repository running on the Virtual Linux machine Don't know if that would work either but sounds overly complicated.

Re: ignored 'core' directory
Another thought: Since people or surprised especially on import, wouldn't it be nice to warn the user whenever a file or directory is ignored? This way, the user at least is informed that something went wrong. That already happens, cvs prints a message for each file with description. So it looks like I Whatever/file (that's a capital i in front) if the file is ignored. But of course one needs to examine the output which can be big. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Global option ignored
I know that the -l was removed from recent versions but I never created or changed a .cvsrc file. Can I prevent this error except by upgrading the cvs tools? Only by not using the global -n and -R flags.

Re: Bug with entering Log messages using editor other than vi
the cvs would open a gvim editor window. AND at the same time say log message empty or unmodified a)abort c)continue I guess it's about how editors handle files.

Re: Can't change ascii/binary type of file
A few months ago I mistakenly committed a Crystal Report (*.rpt) file into CVS as an ASCII file. This broke the file, but no one noticed for a while. Recently, I realized my error and tried to correct it by removing the file from CVS, then re-committing it as binary. It appears, however, that CVS remembers the original version of the file was ASCII, and is treating the new version as ASCII, even though I explicitly uploaded it as binary. This is manifest in the fact that the report is still broken. All our other *.rpt files work properly, because we reconfigured CVS to treat these files as binary by default. Is there any way to get CVS to treat this report as binary? 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.

Re: Deleting from CVS repository
We have Eclipse/WSAD clients accessing our CVS server on AIX. When you delete projects/files from Eclipse, files seem to goto the Attic folder on the actual repository, but projects still remain there after deletion, only get deleted from the local developer's workspace. Do they have to be manually removed from the CVS server? Is there no way to permanently delete projects through a CVS client? Also, when you delete from the filesystem itself, is it preferred to do like a cvs delete command or an OS command like rm -rf will suffice to ensure the project and its associated files have been completely removed? Also, are they any config changes that can be made on the client/server side to enable permanent deletion of projects/files through the cvs client? Can you retreive Attic files through the client? cvs will never delete repo files. Otherwise you couldn't checkout older versions of these files, that's why they are in the attic. You can even retrieve this dead version from a cvs client. If you really want them deleted you have to do it yourself with rm. They are also recorded in the history so you might want to change that too. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Case insensitivity ad nauseum
I was investigating case sensitivity, thinking that it was somehow necessary for the support of Windows clients, when it occurred to me that the _only_ value-added feature this provides is that Windows users don't need to specify the case of files and paths correctly in remote commands. We once had the minor problem that somehow files showed up twice (e.g. doing an update). It turned out that the case of the file itself didn't match the entry in the entries file. So cvs once reported the file from the entries file and then again while looking for unknown files. It behaved correctly, it just did the file twice. But that's something the local client needs to handle (I guess) and not the server. So I don't know if this has something to do with your actual work, I just thought I'd mention it.

Yes - if you use a poor editor it will not preserve the case of the filenames. FAT32, NTFS both preserve the case, even if it doesn't actually USE the case... It is entirely feasible to leave CVS case sensitive and make a note somewhere that the responsibility of preserving the case is on the user. The strange thing here is that cvs is inconsequent. It should report the file from the entries as missing and recreate it (though not possible on Windows) and further should report an unknown file in the directory. But what it did is really updating the file, so it could make the connection between the different cases partly. Either it's case sensitive or it's not. And that was with a local repository, so no client/server issues. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

If I had to do this I'd update B from (Home+A). Like that you have the A-changes in B too but now Home knows about it. Just treat A and B as if they didn't know about each other.

Re: problems with a unicode file

Re: branches off of branches
Likewise.. cvs update -j TEST -j DEV -m means migrate changes from TEST to DEV, and remember the migration. Then, if, inside head: cvs update -j TEST -m this would migrate the TEST changes into head... on a cvs update -j DEV -m it would remember that the DEV changes have already been put into test... etc. etc. You could write scripts that do that with moving and creating new tags. So every time you call the mmerge script it will apply a tag like MERGED_DATE and there is a second tag LAST_MERGE which will be moved to the new position. That way you will have a list of all merge points and also the point of the last merge.

Just imagine you'd have to compile first the whole MFC every time you make a new VC project. As the IDE knows all files which are in this project it's not a big problem to call cvs with every filename separately, even for seemingly recursive operations. So I don't have to rely on import or add to ignore some files. But still when I can use them I do. But deleting all the object files just for some big cvs command and then recompile everything again is not an option. I wouldn't have a problem with that, I often do recompile everything. But for the end users it wouldn't take long for them to start complaining about it. (Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso:) The only thing they know is to click buttons in a specified order. (snip) But I advise you to use this approach just for this almost extinct specie of end user. Extinct? You wish! We need to deal with them all the time. No, we can't teach them as they don't want to, they just want the software to behave as they expect. And as we rely on them as paying customers we have to try to do it their way. I can understand the objections against cvs add using the ignore list from a technical POV. I also often have to thell the users that this and that is difficult to do or not possible at all. But from the user POV this new behaviour would be more consistent and understandable. Cvs ignores everything in the ignore list, ALWAYS. I also ran into problems when I started to use cvs, I just have learned since then that it's not so. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Moving Repositories
I am in the process of moving a UNIX CVS repository from one company (and country) to another (still UNIX) and would like to avoid problems, yes I am new to CVS. I have read the book by Cederqvist etal, but am still have questions. What exists is /home/sfw/cvsroot/CVSROOT with the *,v files at /home/sfw/cvsroot/project1/source/module_name. where the source directory contains only subdirectories (modules) which have the *,v files. What I want to end up with is /home/source/CVSROOT and the *,v files at /home/source/project1/source/module_name where there will be many projects (project1 is only one of many) and source is the same as before, a list of subdirectories (modules) which contain the *,v files. (1) is this possible; (2) and how do I set up the CVS, i.e. how does it know where the *,v files are? (3) what other pitfalls am I going to encounter? I think you will find other mails with questions (and answers) like that. In short: If you only want to move it (no internal changes) you can just tar it up (to preserve the permission bits) and move it to the new place. Just make sure that all sandboxes have their changes committed. If you want to include your repo into another you can copy the project* dirs and need to manually merge the content of the CVSROOT/* files. There are two versions of the CVSROOT files: the ,v are needed to store the history version, the other files are actually used to work with by cvs itself.

Re: Ignore local changes?
Always, and only ever, modify a copy of any file if you don't want CVS to see your changes to it! I can't imagine I'm the only developer that makes local changes to try something out, but wants to be sure those changes do not end up in the repository. Maybe you could setup your system that on every update (at least of this file) it makes a copy of the checked out file. You would then work with the copy and on commit the original file is still intact. And on next update your local changes get overwritten again. That way your changes don't get committed (well, you looe all of them) but you still get updates to the file. If your app expects a special name for this file you need to rename it for cvs (like myfile_template or myfile_original) so the generated copy can have the expected name. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

RE: Commit inconsistency: Up-to-date check did not fail thoughit sho uld have !
Hmm, this is interesting. I have always been (and still am) of the opinion that one should always commit individual files, and never ever do a 'cvs commit' on the top level of a module. Why? Because top level commits usually create poor log messages (same for all files), and because it makes it far too easy to commit files that you have just made temporary modifications to (e.g. changing a make file to compile with debug flags) that you really don't want to commit at all. Oh well, I guess I must be a total idiot then... Well, I also commit single files for the same reasons (even if that makes me an idiot too). But before committing I sure do a test/update if there has anything changed in the repo. So I do the same as cvs ci on whole sandbox, just manually. Like that I never had any problems (well, with committing, don't mention the committed source files :) bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Discouraging :local:
Well, generically speaking Ethernet's FCS field is a 32-bit CRC of the whole data frame. However if I understand the math correctly that means that only 32-bit or shorter errors (remember Ethernet is serial) can be detected reliabliy and only about 99.955% of error bursts longer than 32 bits can be detected. Ethernet frames containing TCP or UDP IP packets can be large -- up to ~1500 bytes. I think you got that wrong about CRC. It's much better and especially suitable for serial streams. Every bit goes into the calculation and it's close to impossible (don't know %) that you can correct even one wrong bit to get the same result. Similar use is MD5. One could presumably enhance this by encrypting the connection (eg. SSL) so that the encryption system supplies another layer of error detection. Anyone know how much, if any, that improves the result? As far as I followed the discussions here I think that the problem is not the main transport over ethernet but the real (not fully lockable) cvs operation on the server if you access a NFS repository with :local: Only if the server cvs does the operation itself it can lock it and therefore the need for a cvs server protocol. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Empty val-tags file
Although you switched to forward slashes in the command, you'll not that your root still contains backslashes. Is n: really a local drive, or is it some kind of network share? If it's a network share, then the problem is almost certainly some kind of bug or incompatibility in the network filesystem. If the repository isn't local, you should use client/server CVS to access it, not network shares. No, it may look funny but it's really local, I have C, F, and N as local drives :) The root with forward slashes (in all cvs meta data root files as well as environment variable) didn't help either.

Empty val-tags file
Hi I've used now cvs for quite a while and never thought I'd run into such a problem. But anyway here it is. We tag our sources from time to time as it should be. But for some reason not all tags go into the val-tags file. In some repositories it's even empty. According to docu this shouldn't matter as cvs will refill it next time a tag is used. Problem is now that I get a no such tag error on some operations if it is not in the val-tags file. And I don't know what to do to get it in. Some operations work (log file, checkout module), some do not (diff, checkout file). But those that work don't update the val-tags file. If I manually add the tag in the val-tags file in the repo then also the other commands work (with exactly the same settings as before). But a different user had the same problems and adding the tag didn't help in his case (assuming he did it right). cvs log file: symbolic names: Version16: 1.10 VERSION15a: 1.9 VERSION15: 1.7 VERSION14: 1.7 VERSION13: 1.5 VERSION12: 1.4 cvs update -rVERSION15 file cvs.exe [update aborted]: no such tag VERSION15 A cvs init didn't help either. Apart from this problem everything else works (with the newest revision). I use cvs 1.11.1p1 on Windows, repo is local or network, no difference. I can't use 1.11.2 because of its problems on Windows and I haven't tried a cvs version. There are no problems with access rights. I'm sorry if this is a simple FAQ or newbie question or if it has been solved in the cvs version, but I couldn't find more info.

But a different user had the same problems and adding the tag didn't help in his case (assuming he did it right). He didn't. To determine if a tag is valid, CVS first checks the val-tags file. If the tag does not appear there, the specified files (NOT the entire repository) are scanned for the tag. If it appears in any of them, it is valid and is added to the val-tags file (unless you've specified the global -n flag). If you're getting no such tag, then the tag really doesn't exist in any of the file you specified for the command (although it may exists in other files that you haven't specified). Commands like log don't require a valid tag -- you get generic log information in any case -- but you *do* get a warning that you perhaps overlooked. I think I did it right and there was *no* warning. But maybe you can help me with this output.

Case problem
Hi all I work with cvs 1.11.1p1 on NT4.0 with a local repository. Usually it works quite well. But sometimes it has a problem with filename cases like the following: cvs.exe -q -n update N:\Temp\Pec3kcvs4 U N:\Temp\Pec3kcvs4/OS/Src/CINOSFixed32.cpp U N:\Temp\Pec3kcvs4/Os/Src/CINOSFixed32.cpp cvs.exe update: warning: N:\Temp\Pec3kcvs4/OS/Src/CINOSFixed32.cpp was lost cvs.exe update: warning: N:\Temp\Pec3kcvs4/Os/Src/CINOSFixed32.cpp was lost I found out that this can happen if the name in Entries (here OS) is written with different case than the actual file-/dirname, or maybe the checked in name. I don't know why cvs looks at this file/dir twice, but it does it with different case and doesn't recognize the same filename. No need to tell me that *ix is case sensitive whereas Windoze is not.

Ignoring (binary) files in update/commit
Hi I've read through the archive and there are quite a lot of postings concerning one or the other aspect but I still have a problem. My first intention was to store the binary project files in the repository as well as the source code. But this only to have a compileable project after a checkout. I don't want the project to get updated as it is changed on every open. This would blow up the repository for nothing. 1. How can I exclude a (local) file from being updated or committed if it is in the repository? Neither -I nor CVSIGNORE helped on this. They only work if a local file is NOT in the repository. (I haven't tried .cvsignore as it is not that easy to create such a file under Windows...) Then I thought I could store them in a second module in the same repository. So I'd have version control without checking it every time as it is in a different module than the source code. I could set it up but had problems in checkout. 2. Can I checkout from different modules/roots into the same directory? When I tried cvs complained as there already were cvs files so it couldn't handle files in the same directory from different modules. After reading the archive about this I decided it wasn't a good idea to store the project files in a repository anyway. I can hold it some place else and copy it to my checked out source files. Works but not very neat. 3. How do the professional cvs projects handle this problem? I mean even cvs itself is organized as cvs project. When I check out the sources are there also project files? Don't they get updated or committed if they change? FYI I'm using the downloaded 1.11.1p1 under WinNT4 on a local repository. Thank you F.
