I tried the patches available at SourceForge/RCVS and compiled / installed the
cvs. It looks good in the first instance. Hope the users of the binary file see
it so too.
Developers be able to do further on concurrent code writing without using the
-c option. Is that true? I tested with some configuration files and feel me
lucky without using the -c option.
Thanks
Matthias
Have you tried the patches available at
SourceForge/RCVS?
If so, your development process should include the
following:
1. Developers put edit -c in ~/.cvsrc.
2. Developers cvs edit file(s).
3. If the edit aborts (due to other editors),
developer communicates with others.
4. Developers proceed only if there's no danger of
future merges.
Note that this won't alleviate the problem of
concurrent development through branches.

Subject: reserved checkout
What do I wrong?
Don't use reserved checkouts with CVS -- CVS is
the Concurrent Versions
System!
I know cvs is a concurrent version system, but a new
requirement comes up in
our department to use in future only one version
system. The other version
system administrated binary files like word, excel
and powerpoint. CVS (and
other version systems too) can not merge binary
files after more than one edit
from several editors of the same version. The other
version system can do
reserved checkouts but it runs on a windows server
and has no command line.
In a first test we used the editors and watcher
function of cvs, but the test
shows us it is not enough. I must often merge by
hand two versions and I can
say I hate it.
I am a linuxer and I would hate it to explain my
manager that cvs does not
support reserved checkouts for binary files. I
control all web pages, server
configuartions and the total source code in a cvs
repository. I love my command
line for cvs and I love my CVS.
I know I am sitting between two chairs.
