Newbie cvs question - large project
1.We are currently working on a large project now. As the project is currently under way, we are constantly making changes to the codes, with different people changing different part of the codes. In this situation, what is the best way to start implementing CVS? I was thinking of establishing a reference version, create a new module in CVS for this version, and have everybody checks out the version and start working from there. Is there a better way to do this? 2. As our project is very large, with millions of source files (literally), performing cvs release and checking out the whole project everytime are certainly not feasible. To overcome this, I was thinking of letting each programmer works on his/her own part of the code, so after the initial checking out of the whole project (as described in my first question), each programmer will only modify/commit his/her own codes. The drawback of this is of course nobody will have the complete newest version of the project. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

chrooted-ssh-cvs question
I have implemented the solution as documented here:
http://www.idealx.org/doc/chrooted-ssh-cvs-server.en.html
I have a couple of questions and am hoping someone here can answer.
1) how do I create passwords for users in {base}/{project}/chrooted/etc/passwd? Do I
use passwd and then copy the test from the /etc/shadow to the chrooted etc/shadow?
2) It appears that one user can not be a 'member' of more then one project. Is this
correct?

newbie cvs question for windows
I am using Windows 2000 to host cvs as a server. I am also using WinCVS as the client. Both are working and I can check things in and out. Currently, I set the server to run with the pserver protocol and the pserver impersonation. (1) I understand that pserver is a protocol that transmits the username/password/data in the clear, but what exactly is pserver impersonation? (2) I do not have ntserver or ntserver impersonation checked. If I read the information correctly (and it's very brief), ntserver protocol only works with NT/2000 client machines, so that if I use this protocol on the server, Linux/Unix machines won't be able to access the cvs server. Is this correct? I also was not clear on whether ntserver encrypts username/password/transmission of data. (3) When I use pserver, I need to type in a username and password. Just for fun, I switched pserver off, and turned on ntserver. On the command line of the server itself, I tried to login but could not (because that's for pserver), so I did a checkout without entering username/password. (a) How is it authenticating me? (b) If I wanted to use the command line from another machine to connect, what would be the syntax? That is, would I have to change the CVSROOT variable on the other machine, and if so, to what? (c) Assuming that the CVSROOT on the other machine does not contain a username/password, again, how is it authenticating me? Is it looking to see if I am a Windows user of the server machine? WINCVS: (1) In admin, preferences, what does the use version box represent? There are two options: standard or nt server. Is nt server mean that the cvs server is using the ntserver protocol? I wasn't sure because my cvs server was only using pserver and impersonation, and I was still able to do a log of a file while my wincvs client was set to using ntserver. What is the best way to encrypt username/password/data while using the cvs server on Windows and using WinCVS as a client? Sorry for all the questions.

CVS question
Hi: I can't seem to find out how to post a question via a web page. My question is this: When you commit a change to a CVS repository does CVS care about the time and date on the client machine? Or does it just time stame it with the servers time and date? The reason I ask is this, we are presently using Visual SS which gets very upset if the time and date is not synchronised with the server. I want to change over to a different source control system and CVS seems to do the job. However I cannot find out what commit does with the time and date.

This is not exactly intuitive, but the best way I've found is cvs -nq update which lists what would happen if cvs did do an update. The -n means "Don't do anything!" and is useful if you are just looking for the output of a command, and -q suppresses some lines I don't find useful. It will list files, one line per file. If the file begins with a ?, cvs knows nothing about it (and it isn't in .cvsignore). If it begins with U, somebody's added it. If it begins with a P, somebody's changed it. If it begins with an M, you changed it; if somebody has checked in a change, you'll get a message about the changes being merged. If it begins with a C, then your version is incompatible for some reason with the version in the repository, usually because both you and somebody else have made conflicting changes. -- David H.

Re: CVS question (fwd)
Hello,
I didn't see a bug submission form on http://www.cvshome.org so
hopefully it's OK to report a bug here.
Apologies if this is inappropriate or already known/old news.
The problem is described in the email dialogue below. In short,
CVS expects that an imported file will have identical dates
set on revisions 1.1 and 1.1.1.1, but apparently in actuality
it doesn't guarantee this at import time.
Thanks,
-Archie

Consider this source file:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/lib/Attic/ranny.c
Question: what version should this command checkout?

Perhaps version 1.1.1.2 would be correct, but instead you get 1.1.
CVS is really screwy in this area. I remember I had to add some
special cases to CVSup long ago to try to mimic CVS's behavior in
odd cases.
It seems CVS is being inconsistent:
- If you had done a 'head' checkout on that date you would have
gotten 1.1.1.2
That makes sense, because on that date the file had not yet left the
vendor branch, and its default branch attribute still pointed to the
vendor branch.
- If you later do a 'head' checkout, and specify that date, you get 1.1
CVS has a heuristic that does the wrong thing for this particular
file. The code is around line 3252 of src/contrib/cvs/src/rcs.c in
the function RCS_getdate():
if (! STREQ (cur_rev, "1.1"))
return (xstrdup (cur_rev));
/* This is 1.1; if the date of 1.1 is not the same as that for the
1.1.1.1 version, then return 1.1. This happens when the first
version of a file is created by a regular cvs add and commit,
and there is a subsequent cvs import of the same file. */
p = findnode (rcs-versions, "1.1.1.1");
if (p)
{
vers = (RCSVers *) p-data;
if (RCS_datecmp (vers-date, date) != 0)
return xstrdup ("1.1");
}
It compares the dates on the theory that an import will set
identical dates in revisions 1.1 and 1.1.1.1. But in the file you
mentioned, they are off by 1 second. So CVS doesn't recognize it as
an import.
revision 1.1
date: 1993/12/21 18:36:22; author: wollman; state: Exp;
revision 1.1.1.1
date: 1993/12/21 18:36:23; author: wollman; state: Exp; lines: +0 -0
Probably the import straddled the seconds boundary. I hope current
versions of CVS force the dates to be the same on an import. I
haven't checked to see whether that's the case or not.

Re: CVS Question
This will only work if your repository is on the same machine as your webserver and if your webserver is only one one machine. For something more flexible, you essentially have to have a cronjob do periodic cvs updates. One of our projects does this. The website is huge and changes are pushed live 4 times a day. If changes aren't made by the time of an update, they have to wait until the next one. What turned out to be more of a problem is making sure files get comitted, added, and deleted as necessary where people are editing. Typical HTML person doesn't know UNIX and can't understand how CVS works and typically gets confused due to CVSs cryptic error messages and subtle behavior (no slight on CVS; it's a programmer's tool). We built a web interface that abstracts CVS's necessities away from the HTML person.
