RE: Partial checkout of an ampersand module
If you want the same file all the time, you could also try this: modules: part_one_file -d part_one path/to/part_one file cvs co part_one_file and you should get U part_one/file Haven't tried it with the -d, but I have done the selected file checkout by specifying: modulereposdirectory file ... in the modules file. It doesn't work with ampersand modules though. For example: moduleA path/to/whateverA fileA moduleB path/to/whateverB fileB ampermodmoduleA moduleB If you checkout moduleA you'll get fileA only. If you checkout moduleB you'll get fileB only, but if you check out ampermod, you'll get all of the contents of whateverA and whateverB. Just ignores the file specifics for some reason.

Partial checkout of an ampersand module
QUESTION: Is there a way to check out just one file from the tree below an ampersand module specifying the complete path? TOOLS: I am using a Win2k machine with CVSNT with: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.2 Beta 3 (Build 33) (client/server) and NT clients with: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.8 (client/server) MORE DETAIL: I have a line in my modules file that looks like: whole_thing part_one part_two We usually check out the whole thing with: cvs co -P -d whole_thing which produces whole_thing whole_thing/CVS whole_thing/part_one whole_thing/part_one/CVS whole_thing/part_one/the_rest_of_the_part_one_files_and_subdirectories whole_thing/part_two whole_thing/part_two/CVS whole_thing/part_two/the_rest_of_the_part_two_files_and_subdirectories This is what I expect. since the whole project is about 5,000 files, I don't want to check it all out when I don't have to. In certain instances, I want to check out a file under part_one first, and then check out the whole_thing. e.g.: cvs co whole_thing/part_one/subdir/my_file look at the file for a while with a script, and then: cvs update -C -P -d whole_thing to get the rest of the files in the project. The problem is that when I execute cvs co whole_thing/part_one/subdir/myfile get the following error message: cvs server: modules file missing directory for module whole_thing/part_one/subdir/myfile cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules trying to check out whole_thing/part_one/subdir also fails If I first make a whole_thing directory, enter it, then check out part_one/subdir/myfile I get the desired file, but I do not get whole_thing/CVS, so when I execute the cvs update -C -P -d whole_thing later on I get: cvs server: nothing known about whole_thing The problem occurs when executing the commands either from a client PC or in a cygwin bash on the server.

MORE DETAIL: I have a line in my modules file that looks like: whole_thingpart_one part_two First of all, you can already check out part_one by itself: cvs checkout part_one If you really want a single file from part_one, figure out what part_one is.

Won't work. Commit myfile from your deep sandbox and wipe out the sandbox. Then do a full checkout of whole_thing. But if you're going to check out whole_thing eventually, why not do it up front and keep it checked out? -- Pierre Asselin Westminster, Colorado -= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =- ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
