Server Crash...
Hello, I had a cvs server running on Solaris. The hard drives began showing signs of crashing, so I pulled all the data and cvs files off to a Windows machine. I need to pull the latest release of my projects from cvs. I tried connecting to a local repository with Wincvs, but it says it can't read the config files. That makes sense, they are in a UNIX style naming convention. Is there any way I can get the latest release of my project out of this UNIX config now that it is on Windows?

Force Log Notify commits ?
Dear all, I wonder whether there is a way to do the following * Force non empty log when commit (or reject commit if log empty). * Create a formatted entry with the log in a ChangeLog. * Notify commit automatically to a list of people (as with sourceforge projects).

cvs server?
Dear all, I try to find some documentation about how to set up and use the 'cvs server' command but I cannot find that much. I would like to use it with ssh forced command. Shall the '--allow-root=' option point to a $CVSROOT or can it directly point to a project within a $CVSROOT? In other words does it need access to $CVSROOT/CVSROOT? If so how do I restrict r/w access to only one of my project when accessed from a special ip?

additional fields
Hello I'm new to implementing CVS, and have a question regarding the fundamentals of the CVS repository. Is it possible to add custom fields to the repository? I want to attach some meta data (eg: description, synopsis etc) to files in the repository, but the standard version I've installed (CVSNT) doesn't seem to accommodate this. Secondly, can the revision field by a string or does it need to be an auto-incrementing number? Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated.

Is there a way to ignore the no revision warning message when using the cvs log command?

But if tag1 does not exist in the file (e.g., a new file that was added), CVS currently gives a warning but doesn't print any log information. I would think you still want to see the log for tag2.

Re: New member
Thanks for the info although you quoted me wrong on my second question, your answer made sense. So to be more specific, I will be setting up CVS for a multi platform, multi OS environment where the developers will work either/or remotely in the office, some of them are very junior and some of them highly experience. I will also be supporting those users so I was thinking of using a web client so that I would only have to support one CVS client. By best I meant easy to support, easy to learn, lots of functionality and a high quality product that is stable, and offer good security . Do any of the web clients fit that bill? Zing, Mark wrote: Patrick Malaison writes: My goal is to set it up as a remote CVS server. How's the security using pserver, what is the best client giving the fact that I will have a multi-OS user bed? As has been said, ssh rocks. The other part of your question doesn't make a lot of sense, if you think about it. "What's the best language to use, given that I will have an international user bed?" Obviously, the "best" client will depend on what OS the user is using. *You* can use whatever client you want. Also, "best" client depends on the what the user likes. Power-users will probably find the command-line cvs clients available for Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin, OS-X, etc perfectly servicable. Others may feel drawn to the GUI clients made for most platforms. Web clients exist that run on every platform that runs a browser.

So, I have file that are binary and a matching file that is text like: MyLovely.jpg vti_cnf/MyLovely.jpg The MyLovely.jpg is the image file and vti_cnf/MyLovely.jpg is the text file.

on commit command run
Or really any command. I realize that this may not work but, I thought I'd ask the cvs pros. I've been reading through cvs documentation and have setup a emailing process in the loginfo file of CVSROOT with a command line like: ALL mail -s CVS Commit [EMAIL PROTECTED] great works reasonably well. But the thing that I would like to do is to do something with the files that are committed. This would involve getting the name of the committed file in it's check-out'able form. So if the files that were checked in were testbrnch01.tst and tstcase12.tst under mtest/otf/ and mtest/itf/ in the cvs repository, I could send that to a script with: ALL CIParser mtest/otf/testbrnch01.tst mtest/itf/tstcase12.tst and have those files added to the call to CIParser command line. Is this kind of thing possible with cvs 1.11.1p1 or am I dreaming?

Setting up CVS for use with Pserver
Hello all,
I have read the docs about setting up pserver and the permissions needed
and all of that, but I don't see things working like they are documented.
I have xinetd 2.3.0 and cvs is configured as such:
service cvspserver
{
port= 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
passenv =
server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/cvs pserver
}
/cvs is owned by cvsuser with the group of users. The permissions on the
directory are 775.
when I try to login as a user in the /cvs/CVSROOT/passwd file whois mapped
to local user (not cvsuser) I get the following error:
cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission denied
I am assuming I shouldn't be running the server as root, but maybe as the
cvsuser user, but how do I do the directory permissions in this case since
cvsuser surely won't be able to setuid to whatever user logs in. I have
multiple projects where I want users added the project's group and be able
to only read/write in their projects and be denide access for the other
projects. Basically, I want a user's access based on what groups they are
members of.
I know that isn't exactly clear, but anyone out there want to take a stab at
pointing me in the right direction? Docs or anything like that?
Thanks,
Patrick

What is this server's connection limit ? Could we increase it ? 1. Avoid putting cvs calls in loops. Instead, do something like 'cvs log $files_list' or 'find files |xargs cvs log' no because I want information for one file and I make something if it has some information 2. run the script on the cvs server machine (local mode) I can do that :-), but I prefer not if possible. I suppose cvs server can support many clients requests at same time but I'm not sure ! It can, but it depends on inetd to manage those requests, so it also depends on its limitations.

But I can't checkout these two modules into the same working directory ! I have some error messages.

Re: CVS on VMS mailing list ?
I posted a patch against 1.11 for the VMS rename command to cvs-bugs a month or two
ago. My message got no response whatever, so I'm not certain where to take it from
here.
The issue I found is that when using a repository with watch on, CVS will not update
any changed files, since the files in the local repository are read only. My patch
just turns on write permission before the new file is rename()ed onto the existing
file name, then replaces the original permissions.
(Searching my sent mail folder ...)

Greetings:
I would be interested in a VMS CVS group.
Here is some background on what I am doing. I use CVS 1.11.1p1 on all
platforms. I have CVS client running on DEC OpenVMS V7.2-1. I use pserver.
I have CVS running on DEC ALPHA running OSF1 V4.0, SGI running IRIX64 6.5,
and IBM AIX. I have CVS repositories on OSF1 and IRIX64. The VMS CVS client
is using the OSF1 CVS server.
I use CMS on some VMS processors, however, a recent project did not purchase
CMS so I am using CVS.
I have extensive work with SCCS, RCS, CMVision, CMS, and CVS. I have
converted all our CMVision projects to CVS. I greatly prefer UNIX over VMS.
However, I have one VMS project using CVS.
Current problems I have encountered with the VMS CVS port include:
cvs export and checkout error off after handling about 250 files and
directories.
A work around is to repeat the command until all files are processed. I
believe this has been explained to be a problem with the VMS rename program.
I would be interested in a fix for this.
I learned that a module name cannot start with d or D. For example, I
did an import creating a repository with a module name of dips (a Government
acronym). The import ran great. I could do rlog and rannotate commands
without any problems. But if I tried to do a checkout or export I got a
could not chdir error.
DIPSD-cvs checkout dips/ssies_gdas/apga/apga.for
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not chdir to dips/ssies_gdas/apga: invalid
argument
This was strange because I have other modules that work fine. I finally
renamed the module and the could not chdir problem vanished.
On the server side, I did a mv $CVSROOT/dips $CVSROOT/vms_dips and now
checkout and export both work.
I believe CVS might be seeing the starting d in the module name as a d
option on the checkout and export command. If this is true there may be
other options on other cvs commands that could present a problem.
Please let me know if a VMS group is formed.
Thanks, Dale Miller

degrees of success.
Recently I have started doing the same, using CVS 1.11 (?p1? - sorry
I'm at home right now my VMS box is at work) with patches obtained
from the net. Would you be interested in forming a CVS on VMS mailing
list to discuss issues surrounding this port ? If mail.gnu.org can't
provide such, I could.
Please let me know if you're interested in a vms specific forum for
discussions of CVS.
Thanks,
-- Pat
p.s. are patches better sent to info-cvs, bug-cvs or some other place ?
p.p.s. which forum to ask questions about flow of control logic in
the code ?

rename bug on OpenVMS - Patch
All:
On OpenVMS if you try to call the C runtime library rename function
where the target file already exists and has only read privileges, the
rename call with error.
This happens in CVS if you've set your repository to strict locking
(admin -L), user 1 commits a file, and user 2 does a cvs update.
The following patch (against cvs 1.11) works around this issue.
Comments please ?

REPOST: WinCVS and ssh - Here's how to configure it.
Hi, all. I've seen several more requests from people about using SSH with WinCVS, and wanted to re-post the info and directions on how to configure it. I'm about to sign off this list (trying to cut down my volume) and figured this one should make the rounds one more time. This one should probably go into the FAQ. (Might want to keep a copy handy for the next time people ask. I'm sure they will.) For the record, as far as I've been able to determine, WinCVS does *not* work with SSH2. It needs SSH1 on the Windows box, and you can configure your SSH2 server to handle both versions of the protocol. Take care, and thanks for the reams of good info! :-) -- Pat ___Think For Yourself Patrick G.

RE: handling of MsWord-Documents in CVS ?
Good morning, I've been reading the traffic in regard to placing Word documents under WinCvs and CVS and I'm getting concerned. We've just started using WinCvs in order to place our source code under version control. I was able to checkin and checkout some Microsoft Word documents (Test Plans, Design and Analysis docs...). These Word documents will not be changed regularly and the changes should be minor. Our release schedule is about 4 per year, so at most they will be changed 4 times a year...Our work flow will be to check out, work the documents and check in. This will be a 'straight line' tree (that is, version 1.0, 1.1..., 2.0, 2.1...), no branches and no merges for us... Bottom line: with this 'scenario', will WinCvs support Microsoft Word documents stored as 'binaries'?

If you could assure that the users on one repository only used certain modules (they were master for those modules, and the other site was master for different ones), you could always mirror the master sub-directories to the slave repository.

RE: CVS bashing?
Good morning, Hi, I'm a long time independent contractor and a 'newbie' to WinCvs and CVS. I've used many version control systems including SCCS, PVCS, Source Safe and a variety of Customer created systems. My last Customer, at the insistance of their Development Staff, replaced Source Safe with CVS. At a previous Customer site, I was charged with getting PVCS operational, since 6 months of develoment work by 20 programmers was lost due to the non use of any version control system. This proved to be a substantial effort requiring extensive planning and coordination and I had to work under the direction of a corporate PVCS Administrator. My experience with CVS and WinCvs has been very favorable. I was able to get both CVS and WinCvs up and running, after reading the Cederqvist Manual and 'Open Source Development with CVS' by Karl Fogel and the 'WinCvs 1.1 Users Guide' by Don Harper. We will use WinCvs, since we will use it to archive not only C++ and Java source but also Testing Documents and Results and Marketing Requirements and System Requirments documents. Consequently, in addition to Developers, Managers and Marketers will also use the system... We will be using WinCvs with pserver and this allows us to install WinCvs on a local Wintel PC (where the various working directories will be kept) and the CVS Repository on a File Server...

There are obviously some areas where CVS can be improved - no doubt.

If ClearCase were free I'm pretty sure that I would choose it over CVS, but it's anything buy free. The Subversion project is interesting, but they will no doubt barrow a lot from CVS, if not code, then at least design and functionality.

How does CVS concurrently manage binary edits?

Currently it can let more than 2 developers to edit the same file at the same time. How to overcome this problem? It's not a problem -- it's the key thing that differentiates CVS from other version control systems. It's the *concurrent* versions system, not the one-developer-at-a-time versions system. -Larry Jones I'm currently implementing a Repository which contains documents and code among a team of developers, project managers, etc., and have run into a snag where I'm not sure CVS is capable of doing what I want. For the most part, I want CVS to merely act as a data repository for our work, and some of the users are Windows users, and are storing Microsoft's crappy binary formats (*.doc, *.ppt, *.mpp, etc.) within the repository. I've set up cvswrappers to work around those files and store them without munging, but the question has come up several times: What happens if two people edit the same binary file concurrently? To my knowledge CVS won't be able to do a think about it, but perhaps even more importantly, will it flag the overlap? Will it let a user know that they have just tried to commit a binary file that was editied, *and not lose data in either file*? Microsoft has some sort of version/history thing at least within Word. Theoretically, the users can try a manual merge if they have both binaries. My question is just whether CVS would notify them, or silently crunch the data? (I suspect not, since it's so rigorous with text-based files.) And yes, I know that binary-format files are a stupid way to do things. But I have to do this in stages, and just getting people to use version-control is a nice step. Maybe we can move them into non-MS tools later on. Still also haven't found an answer to the WinCVS/SSH bug I posted about last week. Where can I go to talk to the WinCVS developer community? http://www.wincvs.org/ doesn't seem to be on the net anymore, and the stuff on http://www.cvshome.org/ appears to focus on the server-side software.

I have just spotted the "SFSetup" program from http://sfsetup.sourceforge.net/ and am reading through the tutorials. I haven't had a chance to try this. Does anyone know if it gets around this problem? I have already sorted out the public-key authentication, so I'm not prompted for passwords when issuing SSH/CVS commands from a command line.

I can connect from my NT 4.0 machine to a Unix system running Solaris 2.7 using ssh2. The authentication challenge is received and passed. Things run just fine. If I execute "cvs -d repository-directory status" directly via ssh2 the challenge is met, passed and cvs displays status information. So I can make connections via ssh2, find my repository, and run cvs on the remote Unix system. On the NT box when I use either the command line version of CVS or work through WinCVS, I set CVS_RSH to ssh2 and CVSROOT to :ext:my-login@machine:repository-directory The authentication challenge is received (with WinCVS it is in a popped up DOS window) and I can enter my secure phrase. At this point everything stops cold. If I login to the remote Unix system I see a 'cvs server' process running just fine. The local client is probably waiting for a response from the remote server. The two are just not talking to each other. I've turned on whatever verbose output I could find and that did not tell me much more. On the local NT side I'm using F-Secure SSH client v4.0 in Trial mode and WinCVS 1.1b13. On the remote Unix side I believe it is F-Secure's SSH code and CVS 1.10.

Title: RE: getting Too many open files This apears to be related to an invalid tag name The error message might not be pointing me in the right direction, but it appears that using the 'correct' tag name does work MUCH better ;-) Patrick -Original Message- From: Breithaupt, Patrick cvs checkout -r rel_sept_8 abc cvs [server aborted]: could not get working directory: Too many open files Thanks, Patrick -- Patrick L Breithaupt SDD Division Mentor Graphics 256.864.3853
WinCVS login problem
Hello, I have installed WinCVS 1.0.6 on a Dell Dimension XPS T500 NT-Server SP6 (4.00.1381) with IE 5 5.00.2014.0216. I went to CVS Admin-Preference-General tab and updated the CVSROOT field with ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/MYCVSRep" and the Authentication field with ""passwd" file on the cvs server" (the "use version" field was set to "Uce cvs 1.10"). CVS Admin - Login,... gives me an authentication error: cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server maymachine.adforce.com rejected access If I go to the wincvs installation directory, and execute the local cvs executable whether with the -d option or by setting the CVSROOT environment variable with the same string as provided in the wincvs preference CVSROOT field, I can connect just fine. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help/pointers you can provide. Patrick
CVS client on Windows platform
My CVS server is in UNIX platform. I am looking for a CVS client on Windows platform. I have checked out some CVS useful sites (e.g. www.cvshome.org). Eventually, I find a suitable CVS client (i.e. wincvs). However, I can't make it connecting to the CVS server. As the documentation mentions that I can use SSH command and .rhost file to connect CVS server. But as I know that, this method is used in UNIX-UNIX machine connection. Please if anybody can teach me in details how to connect my CVS server by using WinCVS in my PC. Besides of WinCVS, is there any good CVS client software running in PC Windows environment ?
Compressed CVS Repositories?
Hi, I've installed and am happily using CVS on my user account here at school. The problem is that we're allowed only a limited amount of storage so I have to refrain from using CVS in some situations (projects with images, binary files, etc.). So, my question is: Is it possible for CVS to keep all repository files in a compressed format? Ideally, the compression would be the final step in committing and the first in retrieving revisions so that, for example, diffs would operate on the actual file and not the compressed file. Moreover, it would be nice if there were a way to do this so that a user could write their own scripts to (un)process the RCS files rather than to build compression into CVS. That way a person could do things like, say, encrypt the RCS files to make an even more secure repository. Any thoughts on how to do this? Thanks ~ pat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
