giving up CVS
Hello, we tried to use jCVS for * LARGE * directory trees consisting of html files and binary files like .gif, .jpg and so on. We consider giving up cvs for our web projects because of the number of problems with large directory trees with mixed files (binary and text). We had binaries which occured as text and so they couldn't be repaired anymore. I studied several days cvs and found out, that binaries can only while importing handled as binary. If forgotten to type in all binary types during import you've lost. Adding a file is a problem for us. If one of us works a day, he will have to add whole parts of new directory trees or many new files - binary and text - in different subdirs. Adding as binary and adding as text is for our purpose very uncomfortable and here is again loss of data in cvs possible because you have to handle cvs which so much care. It was recommended to us to use cvs, but I think by an old unix C programmer who only has to deal with one single text file. What we are looking for is something like CVS but combined with saving data. Using cvs became a safety problem to us. Everything that is stored in cvs has to be saved on third media before. What do you think about that? Are there any web programmers here using cvs with success and how to you save data? -- Marko Faldix M+R Infosysteme Hubert-Wienen-Str. 24 52070 Aachen Tel.: 0241-93878-16 Fax.:0241-875095 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: Problem to delete CVS directories...
Dear Mr. Sanchez, we had the same problem and came to the conclusion that the only way to delete directories from a modul as well as deleting a whole modul is to be done via filesystem on the unix machine, i.e. log in on your unix box and change to the repository directory, then delete the respective subdirs you want to get rid of. Fortunately, the rest of the CVS system is not affected. In advance, -- Marko Faldix M+R Infosysteme Hubert-Wienen-Str. 24 52070 Aachen Tel.: 0241-93878-16 Fax.:0241-875095 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hector Sanchez-Villeda [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Dear sirs, I have installed CVS in one of my UNIX boxes, then I included several directories for testing purposes and I tryed to delete them permanently according to CVS documentation, but it appears that the directories and files went to the ATIC directory. How can I get rid of them? Any help is appreciated. PD.

Re: HELP! Howto disable binary flags on files
Josh Baudhuin [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Well, you can use cvs admin -kflags on the existing files, but is it possible there's some systematic problem which caused the files to get created -kb? (Or was it just a user error?) cvs admin -kkv not-really-binary-file This is one of those commands that can be done recursively, so be carefule not to undo the really-a-binary files... Hello, where do you type in the cvs admin commands. As user on clients? I tried in unix command line in the repository directory on the server, but there was no file entries found, which normally resides on the client after checkout. But on the client, we have NT 4.0 with jCVS an the cvs admin command did not change anything. So where is the command line for this commands? -- Marko Faldix M+R Infosysteme Hubert-Wienen-Str. 24 52070 Aachen Tel.: 0241-93878-16 Fax.:0241-875095 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
