cannot find pserver to setup remote cvs server

2002-01-29 Thread Shane McDaniel


CVS 1.11.1p1

I am attempting to setup a cvs server.  The docs say to add

2401  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -b /usr/local/bin
pserver

to the inetd.conf file but pserver doesn't seem to exist on my system.
cvs works fine otherwise.  Should I already have the pserver app, and
where can I get it.

Okay those docs say to use

2401  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/usr/cvsroot pserver


When I try to do a cvs login from another machine I get the error message
"Unknown command: 'pserver'"  after I specify a password.

Same problem.  I don't have pserver on my system. Is it supposed to come
with CVS?   :\

and why is www.cvshome.org such a slow server?  It takes about a minute to
load each page and I have a large pipe where I work.

Yes I just found that out.  Built it with the server part and it seems
fine.  Kinda wish the -v output for the nonserver version would say
something to the like that it doesn't have the server side.  oh well.
Thank you for your assistance.

getting a copy of a file without setting any flags in CVS

2002-02-05 Thread Shane McDaniel


I can't seem to find my answer in the docs, though I'm sure it's there.

How can I pull out a revision of a file but not have CVS set any flags or
make any entries etc. anywhere.  I don't want it to think I'm doing a
checkout of anything, I just want a complete text file of an old version.

how to change a rev number

2002-02-06 Thread Shane McDaniel


I accidently checked in a file with the wrong rev number.  How do I go
about changing the rev number in the DB?  Is there an easier way than
checking the rev out, removing it from the DB and putting it back with the
new rev?

point taken.  but then what is the use of having a hierchal rev number if
tags are what one should use?  wouldn't cvs just use an incrementing
number ie 1,2,3,4 instead of 1.0.1,1.0.2,etc..

more info on bugzilla and cvs integration

2002-04-01 Thread Shane McDaniel


Just curious if there was a site that detailed bugzilla and cvs
integration more than the bugzilla FAQ.

Thank you

Re: About the SPAM

2002-04-10 Thread Shane McDaniel

No they only know that _his/her_ email address is real.  Though actually
replying to most spammers is fairly futile.  Either you give them info
about an actual addy or you just get a bounced message cause they spoof
their address.  I think I see why some ISP's just block off all emails
from certain countries now.  It's sad that a country that is advancing
like china is taking it's first real steps on the internet so poorly.

Is there a way to restrict when a user can do a commit, but allow anyone
to do checkouts.  Preferably gracefully through CVS but even through
permission manipulation if possible.

1.11 compatible with 1.10 files?

2002-04-25 Thread Shane McDaniel


Our current cvs version is 1.10 and we are thinking of upgrading to
1.11.  Is 1.11 completely backwards compatible with the 1.10 structure
the cvs server uses?
