Announce: New CVS-MVS Mailing list
Now, many of the GNU software packages you've enjoyed in the Linux and Unix world are now available on MVS. One of the most popular of these development tools is the Concurrent Versioning System, or CVS. This is an easy to use source librarian software package that allows one or more programmers to manage, protect, and archive your important intellectual properties. This mailing list is dedicated to those fearless individules that are breaking the fallow ground of MVS and using CVS.

Re: Inter-dependent modules
You can set up a module in the CVSROOT/modules file that contains the two modules. This works great except when doing a cvs co -d. I've also used symbolic links in the server filesystems. I've never had a problem with this, but their are some who are nervous about doing things like this. --- Glenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > I've been using CVS consitantly only for a few months now - and done > enough reading to confront the various problems I've found (lots of > reading still to do though) - but I'm still unsure about how to > structure this one - I'm hoping someone can point me to a suitable > doc... > > If there is a module that is a project in its own right, but is also > used in other projects or unrelated modules - e.g. javascript includes > for web sites, or Application frame works in your favourite language - > how do we include files from module 1 in module 2, and have module 2's > instance of module 1's files keep updated appropriately.

This works great except when doing a cvs co -d. I guess I should be a bit more specific. You set up a module alias. If you have module A and B, both of which use module C, you can define a module X with contains modules A and C, and Y which includes B and C.

We used it at Candle without a problem, that included 20-30 developers (on 3 continents) and thousands of files.

Re: CVS on IBM ISeries
P.S. You might consider using VisualAgeC++ on NT and cross compiling to the AS/400. Last two projects I worked with did that with great success.

Re: CVS on IBM ISeries
I've been maintaining a CVS/MVS port. A couple of days ago, A person contacted me through our mailing list to see if it would work on iSeries (AS/400). You might want to contact Terrence Enger [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or view the archived conversation at http://www.dccmn.com/pipermail/cvs-mvs/2002-November/thread.html. Can't say that the CVS/MVS port will work on AS/400, but it's a lot closer that the stock CVS since it supports EBCDIC translation. --- Mark Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all. > > I hope some kind soul somewhere can offer some help with this one. > > I currently have a requirement to build a Java system on an AS/400 > (ISeries).

Using CVS to maintain XML
We're using InstallAnywhere5. One of the features of IA5 is that the builder control file is in XML. We were sort of hoping that we could use CVS to manage these files. It works fine until we attempt merges. The problem is that in order for CVS to properly merge the file, there needs to be some structure to the file. In most source, this is simply due to the fact that programmers just don't go moving functions around. In XML, you can rearrange the contents of an XML object without affecting the meaning. My idea is to sort the IA5 XML before doing any CVS commands on it, thus brining order to the chaos. Anyone know a good way to manage XML in CVS? Is there a program that will sort an XML file? To make sure that similar tags always appear in the same order?

Re: Database file checkin
I don't have much experience with DBs, but best practices for binary files on CVS are fairly straight forward: CVS will maintain separate copies (within it's one repository file) of each version of a binary file. If you have many revisions or large binary files you will chew up lots of disk space. You also have no diff or merge capabilities with binary files. If it is possible to keep the text for a procedure around for CVS, do it. It adds a lot of additional capabilities, like when you ask yourself, when did I change that and why? Or, gee, what did I change to break this? Coding without CVS is like walking a tightrope without a net. Sure, you might be skilled enough to do it, but for how long before your a splat on the floor. --- Daniel Hurtubise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.

Repository File Corruption
We had an interesting experience last night. We have a RH Linux CVS server that holds several (hundred?)thousand repository files. A large number (>50) of the CVS files got corrupted (truncated) when (according to the history file) one of our users in Germany did a Tag request. The files affected were contained only within a few directories, but didn't seem to follow any pattern. This happened once before, last year. Same repository but a different machine (which we promptly executed and buried in the back lot). We now have a new superfast multi-processor raid-5 server. We would REALLY prefer this not happen again. One interesting coincidence was that most of the files needing to be restored were on the backup tape that was started just a few minutes before the corruption occurred. 10 were corrupted on this tape and we had to restore from the previous nights tape. Is it possible that somehow our Veritas back up program is confusing CVS somehow? I can't see the Veritas backup daemon modifying the file, and our sysadmin doesn't think it should even be locking the file. Anyone have any other ideas? = --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.

Why don't I get all the tags when I do cvs history -T
We use a procedure for testing fixes by first creating a branch (with a fork tag) with the command: cvs tag -b B_Defect_n cvs tag -r B_Defect_n T_B_Defect_n Then we go on to make the change, test on several platforms, then merge the branch into it's parent (a maintanance branch or the HEAD). Occasionally, we would like to find the date on which we created this tag/branch pair. So I use the command: $ cvs history -T | grep n Sometimes I get a history entry, and sometimes not. Is there something that trims the history file or limits the search? I can use the -a to see tags from other users, but still don't see mine. Any ideas why this happens?

Using cvs to manage system configuration files
I have several systems I manage. I'm always making changes to things like /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig, /etc/httpd/conf, etc. I was thinking. Would it work to create a master configuration directory with sym links to all the common config files, then import this to cvs. Then when something stops working, you can do a diff to see what it was. If a system update (i.e. rpm) provides a new mail.cf file, you can see what customizations you've had, and merge them in. Anyone done this? Any problems? Security? Probably don't want a public cvs server to do this, right? Any problems using symlinks for CVS files?

Thanks for the response. It happens to various files, none very large, so it wouldn't seem to be just one file that's too big. We have plenty for available ram and swap when this happens.

ANNOUNCE: Beta for CVS for MVS
Well, after several years of development (on and off), a full function CVS is now available for OS/390 (AKA MVS) in a beta release. What is CVS and why should I use it? See http://www.cvshome.org. CVS is a source code versioning system. It allows users to manage their source code (as well as web pages, etc.). Unlike other versioning systems, it also allows for concurrent editing of these source files. In addition, CVS is well suited for source management over multiple platforms, over a LAN, WAN and even the Internet. My personal benchmarking shows CVS beats out PVCS over a WAN with over an order of magnitude (and almost 2 orders) improvement in time and network traffic. This port of CVS is based on the 1.11.0.5 release and should support all the features of the other platforms, as well as being multi-platform capable. CVS for MVS will automatically convert source from the repository's codeset to that of the client (i.e. ASCII to EBCDIC) for text files while maintaining binary integrity for binary files. This version has support for compression (-z option), patching, and binary support (-kb). As of this time however, the CVS for MVS server has not been tested, volunteers welcome. CVS for MVS runs under OS390 Unix System Services, but should probably run under TSO or batch as long as you use the HFS. Anyone want to try CICS? CVS for MVS has successfully passed the sanity.sh tests with only minor modifications to the tests. There are still several minor work items left to do, including documenting the changes from this port. We will hopefully get this port merged back into the main CVS source tree. Source for CVS for MVS is available at http://dccmn.com/cvs-1-11-0-5-mvs3.tar.Z Anonymous CVS: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot login password: guest cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot export -d cvs-1-11-0-5-mvs3 -r mvs3 ccvs Binary is available at http://dccmn.com/cvs-1-11-0-5-mvs3-bin.tar.Z Please be patient with dccmn.com, it's only a P90 running on a DSL link, don't everyone start downloading at once now.

MVS sanity.sh: multiroot-status-1 problem (hey, we're almost there folks)
I've managed to get the MVS port all the way through sanity.sh's multiroot-status-1 test, thanks to a Eric Siegerman's suggestion to use strcoll instead of strcmp in the directory sort routines. multiroot-status-1 is failing and I have no idea why. The outputs seem to match exactly, but dotest doesn't seem to see it that way. I was thinking that maybe the problem is the way dotest_internal reads in the entire output files and uses expr to compare them. This does appear to be one of the longest outputs. Maybe re-writing dotest_internal to do the comparisons on a line by line basis? Anyone have any briliant ideas, I'm running low. BTW, here is the output and expected outputs for anyone who wants to check for themselves: = --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.
