using .cvsrc in client-server setup
Hi I want to know if the options we specify in the .cvsrc file has effect in a client-server environment i.e. if I give checkout -P in the .cvsrc of the server, will it be applied to a checkout from a remote client?

Re: using .cvsrc in client-server setup
Hi Windows 98 does not allow me to name/create a file as ".cvsrc" I tried naming a file just cvsrc and setting HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.It doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how they accomplished setting global options on windows 98?Any other suggestions? I really really need cvs co -P,update -P and update -d as default options for all users.

CVS error and rsh question
Hi I just downloaded the cvs client 1.11.4 for windows. It is working fine for some of us, but one of the developers is getting the following error CVS.EXE update: reading from 206.14.94.29: Socket operation on non-socket CVS.EXE [update aborted]: cannot start server via rsh: No such file or directory Any ideas what must be causing this on his machine?

PS: he does not have rsh installed on his machine, but then even I don't(when I say rsh at command line, it says bad command or file name).But this version of cvs and the previous ones work fine for me. He has no problems with the older version of client we were using(1.11.1) We are using the :server method of connecting the client & server. That means an internal rsh client.

CVS very slow-both remotely and locally
Hi >From the past few days, our cvs has become very slow. Using remotely, the client takes atleast 2 minutes before messages begin to appear and even then it is very slow. Even from the same machine where the server runs, it is very slow.It will stop while updating/co for a long time before continuing. Also I noticed that whenever a cvs process is actively running(or hanging as it happens often), the server machine becomes very slow in responding to other commands as well.(even ls takes a long time) Our repository is about 45mb in size, when checked out. Previously it used to be over 90mb,but after cvs removing several files not required, the current checked out size is 45mb. My cvs server is 1.11.2 on Unix. Clients are 1.11.4 on windows/linux.

Migrating from Telelogic to CVS
Hi I am faced with the task of migrating from continuous (telelogic)to CVS in the near future. I have been using/administering cvs for quite a while, but am new to Telelogic.Can anyone give me any suggestions, tips , any info at all as to how I should do it? Should we do it manually, i.e just check in the latest revisions directory by directory into the cvs repo? Or are there any scripts available? I don't think we need to preserve revision history.

CVS, RSH and direct access to repository
Hi I want to know if there is any method to prevent users from directly accessing repository.I read of one method, using Openssh and restrict users to one command, but that would prevent the users from even logging on to the machine. Some developers use this machine for other purposes(do their regular development and stuff).We plan to have CVS server on solaris, windows clients using ssh authentication. Pls advice.

Tags usage -- comments please
Hi In our team, one developer wants to make tags for a few files; suppose he is working on 2 bugs, each requiring changes in 2 or 3 different set of files, he wants to tag each of those 2 or 3 files with the bug number, so that he can remember which files are modified for which bug. I think this is the wrong way to use tags, not the way they were intended to be used. I think log message is a better way to use in this case, we can later search the logs for the bug numbers. He doesn't agree. Any comments for/against this are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeeva __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Branch revision numbers -- help
Hi I created a repository. First I imported sources from a release, say rel 1. Then I made a tag. Then I updated this with files from rel 2 by adding/committing. Made a tag again. Then I put another release on top of this and tagged. From this 3rd tag, I made a branch. I see the following when I check out from this branch now. For one file that was added (not imported), the status command shows Sticky Tag: Br_CRMR1_Dev (branch: 1.1.2) and log shows Br_CRMR1_Dev: 1.1.0.2 For a file that has been imported, initially, the status shows Sticky Tag: Br_CRMR1_Dev (branch: 1.1.1.1.2) and log shows Br_CRMR1_Dev: 1.1.1.1.0.2 Is this consistent or have I done something wrong?

Cvs admin command question - using on files existing on branch also

If I deleted revision 1.7 of a file, which also exists on a branch at that revision, what will be the status of that file on the branch? Some files exist on trunk and also branch, and we want to rollback some revisions for these files only on the branch, is there anyway we can use the cvs admin command for to achieve this?

Merging question - from and to
Hi I have a question about merging. I thought merging with two -j options was 'from' revision and 'to' revision. This is what happened in my working area from trunk. I have a file soa.pc, branched out at 1.2, now at revision 1.2.4.1 on branch, and 1.2 on trunk. I check-out from trunk, then do cvs update -j 1.2.4.1 -j 1.2 soa.p Nothing happens. I then tried cvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.2.4.1 soa.pc RCS file: /cvsrep/cvsroot/ACE/ace/audit/care/soa/soa.pc,v retrieving revision 1.2 retrieving revision 1.2.4.1 Merging differences between 1.2 and 1.2.4.1 into soa.pc I also tried in another way, cvs update -j Br_CRMR2a_Dev soa.pc Nothing. Then cvs update -j HEAD soa.pc RCS file: /cvsrep/cvsroot/ACE/ace/audit/care/soa/soa.pc,v retrieving revision 1.2 retrieving revision 1.3 Merging differences between 1.2 and 1.3 into soa.pc I don't understand how this works?

Is this procedure correct
Hi Pls tell me if the procedure below is correct to create,checkout from and add to a branch. I need to create a branch with all latest project files and then add some new files and directories to the branch and later merge. I check out the latest revisions of all the files c:\Wd\cvs co Mni And create a branch in the working directory c:\Wd\cvs tag -b for-new-rel And then do c:\Wd\cvs update -r for-new-rel Now the branch for-new-rel has the entire project with all the latest revisions of files. Now whenever I do a add/commit from my working directory,they will be automatically added to this branch. Other developers can access the branch as follows cvs co -r for-new-rel Mni Now whenever they add/remove a file/directory to this working directory,it will be changed in the branch and not the main tree.They don't have to explicitly specify the branch name everytime they do this,right? Now to merge,from the working directory cvs update -j for-new-rel cvs commit -m "merging" Pls point any steps I have missed as I need to implement this immediately in my project.

Making Tag on a branch-question
Hi I have a question regarding tags made on branches. I have branched our tree with the branch name 2.0. After some days,I wanted to make a tag on the branch for QA testing purpose.I checked out from the branch and then tagged it from that working directory with cvs tag -r 'tag_on_branch_name' modulename Is this the correct procedure? One developer insists that when he checked out from the branch,he doesn't get the latest files from that branch and has to do a cvs update -r tag_on_branch_name to get the latest files.As a result,he cannot commit because of the sticky tag. I told him that he should get the latest files from the branch by checking out from the branch regardless of the tag.Isn't this correct? Pls clarify. Thanks a lot, Jeeva Sarma __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: CVS server process still running long after command is executed
Hi How do I log the output from cvs?My server is FreeBSD. I am not very familiar with system administration. cvs is not running as a daemon.I don't understand how the remote client accesses cvs. Is it thro' rshd, which is a daemon? So to trace cvs process,should I trace the inetd daemon which inturn starts the shell daemon(rshd)?If so,what specific commands should I look for? Pls give me some pointers as to where to start. Also if someone can explain how cvs client and server communicate and how inetd knows to call cvs when a client runs a cvs command?

Issue with identifying scripts within a repository
Hi I have a problem, pls see if anyone can give any suggestions how to go about it. We have a repository to store scripts which are run against databases. When the developers check-in the scripts, no one knows if that will go all the way to prod. It has to pass qc, or may have some other issues, so everything that is checked in may not go to prod. All approved scripts will run once in 2 months.So we need a way to identify all these scripts from the others in the repository.Pls note that the number of these scripts is very high. One approach is to modify the log message each time a script is approved, so we can query them and check out only those that they need to run finally. The problem with this is it may be too much work. Another approach is to check in the approved scripts into another repository or folder so we can easily pull out those. This is obviously duplicating the scripts. Can anyone suggest any other solution? Hope I was able to accurately describe the issue. Thanks . Jeeva __ Do you Yahoo!?
