System username and :ext:/SSH
Is there a way to duplicate the behavior of the CVSROOT/passwd actions when logging on with SSH? Specifically, if there is a system username alias in the passwd file, this takes effect when logging on with a password. Is there a way to get that system username when accessing the repository using SSH through :ext:? ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Comparison of two repositories?
Is there any easy way to do a full diff of two checked out trees from different repositories? The way I am doing it now is to export both trees (with -kk) so I don't have the CVS directories and then do a command line diff between the two local trees. What I would like to do is to be able to act upon the actual CVS sandboxes, but then the CVS directories and the info tags mess up the compare. Does anybody know of any simple scripts written for just this purpose? Thanks for any help. Steve Biggs ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Howto?
1. Rename a module in the repository? Is it even possible? That way, the next time somebody checks out the entire module, the directory name will have the change? 2. If I checkout a module from one repository, say from the Internet, and then import it into a second repository, say my local one, is there an easy and correct way to make sure that the local copy is also updated by the changes in the remote repository? That is, I want to do an update from the remote repository in my local directory and then be able to merge and commit those changes to my local repository?

Re: Newbie: problems adding directory to repository
Delete the CVS directory under MyDatabase in your local copy, re-add it and re-add the files under it, commit, and you should be fine. I just had this same problem.

I'm having a problem and couldn't find a solution in the docs or in the archives. My setup is that I have my CVS repository on my working server, and then a sandbox on my working server from which a build script puts things where they're supposed to go. Then on my development server, I again have a sandbox and a build script. I've been working by making changes in the sandbox on the dev sever, and when they're ready, committing them to the repository, updating the working server's sandbox, and building it out. There was a point at which I was making a lot of changes to my dev sandbox, but didn't have access to the repository so couldn't commit anything. When I got back to it, I found that I couldn't get some things to match up. The basic problem is that I had taken a specific program, and directory, called Book.pm and Book/ and then generalized it and renamed them to MyDatabase.pm and MyDatabase/ . In my dev sandbox, I have this directory called MyDatabase/ and there are a bunch of programs underneath it that used to be in Book/ . But I can't seem to get this directory onto the working server. When I go to the working sandbox and type cvs update, it doesn't create MyDirectory/ or anything underneath it; it's the same when I deleted the entire sandbox and did a cvs checkout from scratch. Yet in the development sandbox, it certainly thinks it's there-- when I type cvs add MyDatabase/ or cvs add [any of the programs under MyDatabase/] I get messages like there is a version in MyDatabase already or SearchView.pm already exists, with version number 1.3. What do I need to do to get these files out of CVS and into the sandbox on the working server? Thanks very much. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Non-interactive it may be, but pretty painful! How about writing a wrapper shell script? You would invoke it as: cvs-wrapper -m 'message\ncontaining\nmultiple lines' other-args It would have to do something like: - extract (and remove) the -m and its value from the command line - turn the \ns into newlines (and any other transformations you like) - export CVSEDITOR=`which cat` into the environment - go: echo $transformed_log_message | cvs $other_args -- --snip signature-- Actually, your method sounds to me much more painful because I have to learn how to use sed to do this and run and test the wrapper script over and over again until I debug it due to my limited expertise in coding shell scripts, living with bogus messages in a junk repository until I get it right. My way is quicker and much simpler for me as long as I remember to put the quotes right. E.g., I actually meant to say: cvs ci -m line 1$'\n'line 2$'\n'line 3 ... note the change in the position of the single quote and the $. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Command-line multi-line messages for commit
Greetings all, How do I enter in multi-line log messages when I want to commit? I tried using \n, \\n, ^L in the quoted text string for the -m option but no go; all are on the same line with the quoted string in the log message. Running bash on Linux, Redhat 8.0. I tried embedding for bash using $'\n' but this whole string gets put into the log. Basically how do I embed 0xa characters directly into the command line for the commit command? This might be more related to straight Linux command line usage, and if this is off-topic, please excuse. Any assistance would be appreciated. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: Command-line multi-line messages for commit
Thanks, all, for your replies. I didn't try this: $ cvs ci -m 'line 1 line 2 line 3' I got it to work using another way which actually works better if you don't want to be so interactive (one press of the enter key instead of 3): $ cvs ci -m line 1'$\n'line 2'$\n'line 3 On Tue, 2003-06-03 at 11:02, Lemke, Michael IZ/HZA-IC1 wrote: -Original Message- From: Stephen Biggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 11:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Command-line multi-line messages for commit Greetings all, How do I enter in multi-line log messages when I want to commit?

Why not try the simplest of all: $ cvs ci -m 'line 1 line 2 line 3' $ Needs a Bourne Shell derivative. I didn't try it but unless cvs plays some internal tricks it should work.
