RE: cvs tag: some slightly counterintuitive behaviour
Hi! From what I have gathered from the conversation that was going on, is this, You want to TAG only a few seleteced files which are in the checked out local copy of your machine. Well! Then why go into all this trouble, if you alsdo do not want to remove these files as suggested and do not want to perform a commit then the best thing to be would be to selectively tag the files. Why can't you just choose the files you want to tag and run the TAG command only on those. This way only those files get tagged and not the complete module, which is not want you as it is want to happen. Thus, happy customer, happy repository users, happy You and of cource a Happy CVS Repository Administrator (if that is not you... :-)) Gagneet -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Jones Sent: Friday, 26 March, 2004 14:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cvs tag: some slightly counterintuitive behaviour Jason Carucci No, I believe cvs will tag the files in the repository, the files in your working directory are irrelevant for this operation. I'm not saying that CVS behaved wrongly, just in a way that was counterintuitive. To say that cvs tag requires a working directory, but not the files in it, is surely that. Derek Price `cvs tag' is defined to tag the BASE revisions of the files in the working directory and this is exactly the behavior you are describing. [...] Therefore, I would argue that this sort of behavior is simply too much to expect from CVS. Maybe it is. The point I am making is, it surprised me. Here is what the manual says: tag [options] tag [files.] Add a symbolic tag to checked out version of files Now I've *seen* this particular little gotcha, on re-reading the above I can see that CVS is behaving as advertised. But I think it is fair to say that anyone reading it who had not had this happen to them, might get the wrong idea, as I did. Derek Price The work-around, and a pretty straight-forward one I should think, is to commit your changes before tagging. No, no. I don't want to remove the files. I just want to not tag them. Now it looks like I will have to tag the whole sandbox and then untag a list of about 30 files - not fun. Is it really a pain to change (assuming it should be changed)? Modified files shouldn't be a problem - just ignore them, as now. Anyone who doesn't like this behaviour should be doing cvs tag -c anyway... Of course, the simplest fix is to add a couple of lines to the manual. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a major gripe. I just wanted to flag a small bit of odd behaviour.

RE: cvs tag: some slightly counterintuitive behaviour
Well! In this case the best thing to do is to use a GUI which will enable you to select the required files or dseselect the files which are not required. On GNU/Linux clients gCVS is a very good option and WinCVS is the best for Windows. You can get both from http://www.wincvs.org Gagneet -Original Message- From: Andy Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 26 March, 2004 16:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: cvs tag: some slightly counterintuitive behaviour Why can't you just choose the files you want to tag and run the TAG command only on those. This way only those files get tagged and not the complete module, which is not want you as it is want to happen. Because I have 12,766 files, and I want to tag all but about 30 of them. Working out which 30 is a long and laborious process of checking by hand. It would have been nice if I could have just worried about getting the sandbox to a given state and then tagging that state. What I'll end up doing is compiling a list of the 30 as I go along, tagging everything and then doing something like: cat badlist.txt | xargs cvs tag -d tag As I said, it's not really a big deal, just a small surprise. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Now the problem is that for the characters - 'x' (without
the double
quotes), when I checkout on a Windows system, they are being checked
out properly, but when we checked out the same on a Linux
system they
appeared as - ~Qx~R (without the double quotes).
If you use a hex or octal dump program to actually look at the
text (on the Linux box, the 'od' program with the -x switch
will do the job), I believe you will see that your Windows
text editor is 'helpfully' inserting characters other than the
APOSTROPHE (') character which is hex 0x27 (aka octal 047, aka
decimal 39) and is instead going into some a word processor
mode to give you non-standard encodings for your string.
The Microsoft Windows system has a non-standard character set
that goes by the name of 'Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252'
which is also known as CP1252. It uses most of the standard
ISO-8859-1 character set encodings, but extends things for a
few encodings of its own.
My guess is that you are running into the problem of your
editor being 'helpful' to you and mixing the concept of a LEFT
QUOTE CHARACTER and a RIGHT QUOTE CHARACTER with the
APOSTROPHE character that you really want for your C program.
See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/1252.htm for
the full table, but here is an extract:
1252 Uindex UISOname
...
270027APOSTROPHE
...
912018LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
922019RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
...
The rest of your environment is probably trying to live in the
ISO-8859-1 (aka ISO LATIN 1) character set world.
There is probably a way to fix your Windows editor to avoid
this problem and use a straight ISO-8859-1 character set
APOSTROPHE. However, I am not a fellow that uses Windows and
am not sure of the answer.
I checked up in the Repository files lying on the server and
I got the
same text - ~Qx~R (without the double quotes).
Is this the normal behaviour of the CVS repository files to
change the
- 'x' (without the double quotes) characters into ~Qx~R (without
the double quotes) when getting the files from a Windows system to a
GNU/Linux System.
The condition has been observed only for the lines which are inside
the C block comment lines.
Actual file on Windows Systems:
/* The underscore character '_' is to be replaced in the following
code segment with '-' */ if ('_' == UNDER_SCORE)
{
.

}
Actual file as seen in the GNU/Linux CVS Repository:
/* The underscore character ~Q_~R is to be replaced in the following
code segment with '-' */ if ('_' == UNDER_SCORE)
{

}
Is there some way to rectify this problem so that the
checkout in both
the Windows and the GNU/Linux systems is the same??
The Windows world should be able to live with an ISO-8859-1
character set. I suggest you try to change from CP1252 to
ISO-8859-1 when writing programs. There should be a way to do
this, I just don't know what it is.

Hi! Thank you for the reply. I got the problem. I had set the permissions to 2775 for the CVSROOT folder of the reositories. Now, when I tried to Update , there was no problem, but CVS sets the permissions except for the history and the val-tags files in CVSROOT to read-only. Thus, when the above was set, I got the error message on my GUI window. I think, CVS is not taking the CVSROOT permissions to be set for the group sticky and that is why it is giving the problem.

I edited config to System-auth=Yes so I
connect remote with a system user of the server. I installed the
"cvspermissions 0.3" Scriptsand it let me set permissions on the modules
with some commands...
But the 3 projects are hosted in a Singe
repository! So... all people in the 3 projects can see all files in all
projects... cvspermissions can only manage tag and commit permissions per
modules to restricted users... but the read rights are managed by
repository.
I could set the permissions by filesystem
access ... but I dont know if its the best way. Im new in the Linux world...
so I every post in this list affraid of being dumb!
I think to in create others files under
/etc/xinetd.d and run a repository in each port... but it not seems right for
me.
What I like to do is... multiple
repositories, That I can manage with cvspermissions and access with pserver.
It wold be Must! If someone helpme to take the best or right way... I
thanks.
I thanks you!

RE: Stopping a modified file from being checked in
Hi! Why don't you just copy the file to another folder and make the CVS files uneditable. Then, when you copy the same to the CVS folder, it will be commitable and you can continue working on the local copy without any fear of making a wrong commit. Gagneet -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Avis Sent: Saturday, 13 December, 2003 2:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Stopping a modified file from being checked in I would like to make some changes to a file in my working copy, but definitely not check them in. Of course I wouldn't deliberately run 'cvs commit', and I normally read through diffs before checking in a change, but still I'm paranoid that I might run 'cvs commit' in a parent directory and accidentally check in my local changes. I'd like to mark the file so that it will not be committed. I could do this by setting a sticky tag, but then 'cvs update' will not merge changes into this file.

RE: Installing the new version
Sorry I think I did not read the actual mail properly. As pointed out by Cristian Adam, it is the src file that you have got and not the RPM file. The RPM file is the one without the SRC in it.

RE: how can I see what changes a cvs update would merge
Hi! For your first question search the archives for the BrowseRepoTk script made by Oliver Giesen. This will work with the WinCVS client. You could modify it to be used on a command line with only TCL... :-) A quote from his mail in this respect, There is no newer version of the WinCvs product package available (unless you count 1.3.13.2 - the *only* difference to 1.3.13.1 is support for Python 2.3.x and the version of the bundled CVSNT client though). The feature you are quoting is a macro I wrote. If you want you could pull it directly from the CVSGUI repository via CVS or use the ViewCvs link given in http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/readme.html#BrowseRepoTk . Note however that if your server is CVSNT there already is a much more powerful interface available right now. Just click the elipsis button next to any edit box requiring you to enter a module name. However, *if* all goes well, WinCvs 1.3.14 will be released within the next two weeks at latest (including that macro). Be aware however that A LOT has changed since 1.3.13 and it is anticipated that a short succession of bugfix releases will follow so if you want to play safe, you should as always wait until a new release is advertised on the WinCvs homepage. Let me add however that I'm using a self-compiled version of WinCvs for several months already and it hasn't ever crashed or done bad things on me during that time at all. YMMV. For your second question, Currently if you are using the WinCVS client, then click on the checked out module folder and pres F4. Others will be able to guide you better for command line processes.

Hi! Further to my previous mail, for the cvs command line you can use the following command to get the status of the files which have changed. cvs -n update -P M File1.dsp The above tells you that the file name 'File1.dsp' has been locally modified. Now you can diff it with the previous version on the server by: cvs diff -wb -i File1.dsp And find out what has changed. Hope this helps.

RE: Spam: RE: new cvs server issue
Hi! Effectively that is all that you have to do. Just check into which folder you will be putting the unzipped folder and also change the user group permissions accordingly. (This is a compulsory step and is required) In the cvspserver file if you are using the same folder as earlier no change needs to be carried out otherwise you need to just change the path of the repository. That should do the necessary changes required and also you will have to change the path on the clients to reflect the new path. Then just checkout the modules and start working. Do not overwrite the older checked out copy as that might contain the address or path of the older server in the CVS folder created in the local copy.

RE: File ownership
Hi! The repository files are marked according to the user who logins into the CVS server for making commits. But before that the user has to checkout the files in his/her name and then only can he check them in. The other way for a user to do this is to use a script to change all his local settings and then commit them in another users name. But, first of all what type of authentication are you using. Is it the 'pserevr' type?? If so then are you using the system passwd file or the CVS passwd file? In both the cases, is the user allowed to change his passwords or do all the users have separate passwords?? As any user having the password of another user can make commits on the users name. But, this is done intentionally only and not accidently. It can happen accidently only when the user is logged on to the repository on hois system and forgets to logoff before leaving and leaves his system also on to be accessed by others. A definite way to check on this is to take note of the time the problem occurred, from the CVS file commit time and then confront the user on his whereabouts at that time. Currently there is nothing else that youy can do... Or till the time someone gives a better suggestion... ;-)) You can put this up in the cvsgui mailing list also at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gagneet |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf |Of Mark Jaffe |Sent: Tuesday, 04 November, 2003 6:49 AM |To: CVS Mailing List |Subject: File ownership | | |While browsing one of our repositories, I came across a part |of the tree that did not belong where it was.

RE: setting up project restrictions
Hi! The main problem here is that you have to define group permissions to the repository before it can be accessed. Also, if you plan to use the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file then you need to uncomment SystemAuth=No line in the config file in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/ folder. Only then can you use the passwd file, else you will have to use the system passwords for logging in. Read the Cederqvist Manual for better details. Also you can visit the FAQs created by Oliver at http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/newfaq.htm, if the location has not been changed by him.

RE: help on pserver connection
Hi!
I think the error lies in the xinetd service, did you try and restart
the service after creating that file. If so then, have you already
created the repository with the required user permissions. This could be
a problem with the permissions on the server files also. Plz check that
out.
Usually the CVS repository is accessible by the group which has its
modules in it. This has to be an nherited permission for the group to
all the modules.
Another thing, are you directly accessing the server and if so what are
you logging in as as 'root' is not allowed to perform operations on any
of the CVS repositories. Plz confirm this fact too. You can try and
remove the env tag also and then try. Also, renmove the env line and
then try connecting to it when logged in as a normal user and not 'su'
or 'root'.
You also seem to be using the raw IP address, have you tried activating
Samba and using a NetBIOS name instead, sometimes that too helps on the
Red Hat systems.

RE: help on pserver connection
Hi!
I think the thing you have done wrong is to not visit the latest of the
CVS Cederqvist manual.
It shows that after the RedHat 7 distribution the control for cvspserver
had shifted to the xnetd services avialble as separate files under the
/etc/xinetd.d directory. Here you create a file named cvspserver and
feed in the following contents to it.
# default: on
#
# service cvspserver
#
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
id = cvspserver
env = HOME=/home/cvs
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
port= 2401
wait= no
user= root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/cvs pserver
}
Where server_args is the place where you give the path to your
repository.
Hope this helps. For better understanding read the Cederqvist Manual on
CVS 1.11.5, this can be found on http://www.cvshome.org/

RE: [cvsgui] Duplicating CVS repository from one server to another?
Title: Message Hi! You just need to copy the files with the existing permissions to the new server. Also, there is a GUI available with WinCVS, if that is what you are using which allows the client to change the 'root' on the local machines. (this is helpful if you have changed the name of the server as well). The Macro is available under the Macros Menu - TCL - Change CVSRoot (GUI). The copying will be for all the users, groups and repositories you created with all the existing permissions intact. I think there should exist a script to do this work also, but for that you will have to wait for the others to answer this query..

This can

If you are using Red Hat systems after distribution 7.2, then you are
required to put this file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory. The format of this

Re: Vijay - two questions on CVS
Hi! Regarding | a) How should we delete a complete module form a |respository ? You just need to delete the repository module from the server, the server can be either a WinNT machine or a Linux / UNIX variant. You do not need to stop the XINETD service, but it is always a better practice to stop it. The server does not cater to the modules in the repository, only to the repository, hence it does not know if there is any change. Only the repository knows about changes if the 'modules' file has been initialized, either automatically or manually by the Repository Admin. Even then, the repository does not complain, but only if a user wishes to checkout the deleted module from the client side, he gets a error/warning that the module does not exist in the repository. | b) We ususally access the CVS Server ( on Linux ) from the | Windows 2K prof box by using WinCVS 1.3 or 1.2 This is actually a better question to put to CVS GUI group.. ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway! When working with WinCVS, the user who logs in and checks out a module creates a 'CVS' folder in the checked out module. Inside this folder are the settings for the user. If you checkup the 'Root' file (opening it in any test editor) you will find the complete path to the repository along with the user name. Thus, when you have the checked out module selected and 'Login', winCVS picks up this name and uses it for further CVS operations. WinCVS 1.3b10 onwards there is a feature which comes in the form of a window when you 'Login'. This is a checkbox in the lower portion of the 'Login Settings tab. This says 'Force using the CVSROOT (-d)'. If this option is checked and you put the desired user name in the General box, the new user can login, without bother about the settings in the previous module. Or you can select any non-CVS folder on the left hand side of the WinCVS pane and login with the username desired. As this won't have any CVS setting, but do remember to change the General Settings (in Preferences tab) to the desired username first. Hope I have answered your query.

Re: Problem connecting to remote repo from wincvs
Hi Daniel!
I think the problem is that the machine you are using does not have a host
name defined for it. also, it might not be visible over the network. There
are two remedies for this problem as far as I can see. Please correct me if
someone thinks I am wrong.
1. You need to define a host name for your CVS server. From what I made out
you are working on a Linux System. This can be done by running the 'neat'
aplication from console or if you do not have graphics then you need to edit
the network settings file. And set the host name for the machine. I think
this file should be someplace where the DNS name or 'bind' files are
defined.
2. Configure samba for your machine and set the host name in the samba
configuration file. This is in the /etc/samba directory if red hat
distribution has been installed. It might vary for other distributions.
Any problems, please do get back.

Re: Help with moving repository
We are in the process of moving our cvs repository (pserver) for reasons of size and speed, and have so far asked our CVS users to ensure everything is checked in to the existing repository, remove the existing working copies then modify their CVSROOT or -d options and check out again from the address of the new repository (which is actually a mount point for the moment from the old one, until everyone sets up correctly, then it will be copied to its proper location at a convenient point). Is the CVS Server on a Linux/UNIX system? What are the clients being used? Are the users working with Windows (WinCVS) Clients or using CVS on UN*X boxes? Some of our developers are complaining that this is going to take them too long (don't ask, I've already had the argument with them). OK, will not ask... ;-) Is there a utility available anywhere to perform global changes to the cvs metadata in a users working copy. For instance change the entry in cvs/root from :pserver:user@oldcvs:/cvs/cvsroot to :pserver:user@newcvs:/cvs/cvsroot. I can imagine that someone somewhere has done this before. There is such a utility available for WinCVS clients, I do not know about UN*X clients, but should be easy to make using awk and grep. For the WinCVS utility visit Oliver Giesens page on: http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/readme.htm Also, Oliver has given a full FAQ on CVS at: http://people.freenet.de/ogiesen/newfaq.htm If such a thing were available, it may just save me a few headaches.

Hi! Yes, they do require a real account on the CVS pserver if you are not using the SysAuth=no in the 'config' file in the CVSROOT/ administrative files.

xinetd is what RH 7.2 uses instead of inetd.
Here's what I had to do:
First, you need to check that port 2401 is active for cvspserver. Go
to /etc/services to check. In my file, I had listed
cvspserver 2401/tcp# CVS client/server
operations
cvspserver 2401/udp# CVS client/server
operations
If this isn't there, I believe you can edit the file to include it (but
I didn't have to do this).
Then, you need to tell xinetd to use cvspserver. Go to /etc/xintd.d and
copy one of the existing files to cvspserver in the same directory.
Edit it to read something like this (server reflects where cvs is
installed, and server_args is where your CVSROOT is):
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/var/cvswell pserver
}
Once you've saved that file, then type the following at the prompt:
chkconfig cvspserver on
You can check that it is working by typing:
chkconfig --list |grep pserver
And it should list that cvspserver is on.
After I did all this, WinCVS connected just fine.

Do I make the changes in the xinetd.conf file or do I create the 'inetd.conf' file and what do I do about the 'inetd' service. Thanking you, Gagneet Singh ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: CVS integration with Windows Clients.
Sir, In your reply to the integration of CVS with Windows Client you have mentioned about the file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver. This file is to be created by administrator, but what are to be the contents for this file? Also will the Linux Server have to be sharing the repository files via a Samba Server (create a share of the CVSROOT in the smb.conf file??!) Would be grateful if you could elaborate on this. Thanking you Gagneet There is no problem with this at all - I have such a network here and I have clients doing it routinely. You simply need to set up the Red Hat 7.0 server with a /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file, so that it will work. WinCVS works with this setup beautifully.

'inetd.conf' Not found!!
Hi! I was wondering if anybody could help me with this. I have installed the latest version of CVS on the RedHat 7.2 distribution and have followed the installation instructions to the order. Starting from ./configure, make, make install. But the next instruction to edit the file /etc/inetd.conf, could not be carried out as there is no such file available. Also the inetd service is not available although i have search the complete distribution for it. Please do inform me if this file can be created manually or should I use the xinetd.conf file and the xinetd.d servive for running my CVS server. Thanking you in advance, Gagneet [EMAIL PROTECTED] yahoo ID : komputr_nerd ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
'inetd.conf' File Not Found
Hi! I have installed the cvs-1.11.1p1 version on my Linux server. The instruction says that I have to edit a file named 'inetd.conf' and then restart the service 'inetd'. The problem is that I could neither find the file /etc/inetd.conf nor could I find the service for 'inetd' either in /etc/init.d or anywhere else any file by that particular name. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what is to be done in this case so that I can run CVS as a Server. I am getting the message that: cvs95[login aborted]: connect to LinuxServer(LinuxServer): 2401 failed Thanking in advance, Gagneet ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
CVS integration with Windows Clients.
Sir, I have been assigned a project for implementing CVS in our network. The Linux Server I am using is RedHat distribution version 7.2. The machines in are network are mostly working on Windows 98, while some are on Windows 2000 and RedHat distribution 7.0. I have been assigned the task of integrating CVS with the Windows clients. I have in my search come across WinCVS. Is it possible to use a Linux Server with Windows client and implement CVS? I would be grateful if you would help me out in this matter.
