RE: Unknown Host error
John, Since you are not specifying the CVSROOT with the -d option the value for CVSROOT might be different in the script then at the command line. The script might be setting the CVSROOT environment variable or the CVS_RSH environment variable, for example. You must have CVSROOT set on your system or you would need to use the -d option on the command line. Check the script to see if it is setting those variables. If the script is running as a different user I guess it's also possible it might be using a different environment, too, but given Windows I doubt that is the case. -Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Molesky Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:44 AM To: info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: Unknown Host error All- I imagine this question has an obvious answer, but it is escaping me...

RE: Sorry about this newby question
You have to be able to access the CVSROOT even for an add. The server will check to see if the file was previously deleted and if so retrieve it from the attic. Also, if the file were in a new directory the directory would be added to the repository. In general you should expect most cvs commands to cause the client to communicate with the server. I am not sure why you included the bit about cvs init. You are obviously checking out files from somewhere other than your local machine. You don't need to create a repository on your machine to use the client.

Re: Re: System username and :ext:/SSH
Hi, There must be at least one operating system user for you to use ext with ssh because ssh is a remote login method. The purpose of ssh is to allow a user a remote login so it does not make sense to not have a user. That being said, the ssh user account can be configured to have very limited permissions. The user's shell can be set to null in /etc/passwd and the user can be restricted from an interactive login session and can even be restricted to allow just a single command to be issued - namely cvs server based on sshd configuration. With all of this set up the remote user can't do much other than execute cvs commands on the server. -Mark - Original Message - From: Lazy Dumbness [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CVS-II Discussion Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 8:32 PM Subject: Re: Re: System username and :ext:/SSH I also have a question.Maybe you have told about it but only I'm not understand.

Re: CVS server set up
Krishna, I realized that didn't make sense after I sent it. Sorry about that. If you are using plink you can pass the location of the private key file with the -i argument to plink. This is the same argument you would pass to ssh. Of course, you would need to have the key in the Putty format. If it is not already then you can read it in with Puttygen and then save it out in Putty format. If you want plink to work with cvs then I suggest you create a saved session in Putty and then reference the session from plink. When you save the Putty session make sure you specified you are using a private key under Connection/SSH/Auth in the tree to the left in the Putty main window (use the Browse button to find your private key file). If you set your CVSROOT to use the session name then it will work automatically. I believe you can look at the Putty documentation for this. In my case the saved Putty session is called cvssession. So I set my CVSROOT environment variable to :ext:cvssession:/cvs This tells cvs to connect using the program referenced by CVS_RSH and pass it the value of cvsession to access a cvs repository located at /cvs on the server. Plink will know how to access the session from the Windows registry by name. Note: You should include the cvs list on your posts so that others can benefit from the discussion.

Re: CVS screwing up Word documents
Neil, If the keyword expansion is not correct for your Word files then one of two things must be happening. Either you are using the -k option with the checkout, add, or update commands or there is something wrong with your cvswrappers file. Make sure that you are not passing a -k flag when checking out or updating files (or using the -k flag on adds) since it becomes sticky when it used with these two commands. Alternatively, specifically use -kb explicitly whenever you are adding binary files such as Word documents. Cygwin programs can operate on files in either binary or text mode as explained in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html. You might want to try adding tty binmode to your CYGWIN environment variable to ensure that Cygwin programs are always using binary mode. If tty is not set then I think that the Cygwin cvs client might treat standard input and output in text mode rather than binary mode which would corrupt the cvs protocol.

The projects are extensions to a commercial application and consist largely of text files (macros, menus, c-code, etc.). To be useful, tested/debugged, the project files have to be in the directories dictated by the application. Initial I thought this wouldn't be a problem, you simply make the repository tree structure the same as that used by the application and check out a working copy on top of the directories used by the application. Of course releasing the project becomes difficult because cvs release -d is not smart enough to only delete files under cvs control, but more problematic is the issue of when you need two or more projects checked out at the same time. CVS will not allow you to check out files from two trees in the repository to the same working directory. You could put all the projects into one tree in the repository and use the module definition to check out different groups, however when you have 100+ files in a group it gets tedious to define and maintain the module definitions, and seems apt to cause many problems. The only other idea I could come up with was to have separate trees for each project in the repository and use install and uninstall scripts to create and destory links in the application directory, but the application has the annoying tendency to break links when it modifies a file making this less than ideal.

Gu, I believe these are all binary files. You should have added them to cvs with cvs add -kb so that keyword expansion was turned off and the file was recognized as binary. By default cvs assumes file are text and attempts to expand keywords such as $Author$, $Revision$, etc. It also assumes files can be stored in the repository using RCS format which includes the current version plus all of the deltas in the same file. You can fix this by running the admin command against a correct version of the files (i.e. cvs admin -kb foo.pdb) or by removing them and adding them again using (rm foo.pdb, cvs remove foo.pdb, then cvs add -kb foo.pdb). -Mark - Original Message - From: Gu Shaodong [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 9:14 PM Subject: file changed in cvs-1.11.5 on win2k Hi, guys: I'm not sure whether my question has been asked for many times or not.

Since the files you are checking out are read-only the cvs administrator has probably turned on the watch/edit feature.

This will notify the cvs server that you are editing the file and should change the file attributes so that it is writable. It is not strictly necessary to use the edit command.

Otherwise you are likely to have a mess when you do get around to merging the changes later since you will be subverting cvs in a sense. You can use ExamDiff to generate unix-style diff files. ExamDiff is a freeware tool that can plug into WinCVS and is available at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiff. -Mark - Original Message - From: Damien Castelltort [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 10:24 AM Subject: Being able to import changes from one branch to an other Hi, I'm working on a specific branch, before committing i would like to create a diff file of all the changes I made, so i can apply those changes on the other branch.

Re: OT-ish: Windows Question
Jesse, I have just started tracking a VB.NET /ASP.NET application in cvs and I had the same decision to make. I excluded the following files from cvs control: Web.config (this contains specific config info like DB access that differs for each developer) *.webinfo (this stores the IIS URL associated with the project which is also different for each developer) *.sln *.suo *.pdb I excluded the above three types of files because they are derivable from all of the other project files. I added all five of these to the repository-wide cvsignore file so that they are automatically ignored for imports and adds. I created a separate repository for the Web.config and *.webinfo files so that each developer could check out a reasonable version of these files and copy them into their development directory when they first checkout a project. I have not used this setup in production yet so I am not sure how well it will work yet. Good luck, Mark - Original Message - From: Jesse Quijano [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 2:23 PM Subject: OT-ish: Windows Question All, I'm a CVS newbie that has always used Visual Source Safe integrated with Visual Studio. So, I've got my remote CVS repository setup and can actually connect to it... no easy feat! I've also setup my directory structure on CVS which I'm sure I'll have questions on later, but so far so good there. What I want to do now is add my files to the proper places in the repository. The question I have is which of the zillion VS generated files should I store to get a build when they're checked out again? I plan to checkin/add *.h, *.c (except dlldata.c and any *_i.c, or *_p.c generated files), *.cpp, *.idl, *.rc, *.dsp, *.dsw, *.def. Does this seem reasonable? Is there anything I'm missing?
