Re: Info-cvs Digest, Vol 27, Issue 40
When you added the files, did you specify "-kb" for the add command for the binary jar files? If not, you'll have to change the status of the files using the cvs admin command as follows: cvs admin -kb myJarFile.jar cvs update -A myJarFile.jar cvs commit This will reset the status of the jar file(s) to a binary format, meaning no translation will be done on the file. Then you copy the "good" version back over the sandbox (corrupted) version, and commit it. If you imported (created a NEW module under CVS by importing the entire directory structure), it "should have" noted the binary status automatically because of the magic numbers, but sometimes it can make mistakes. For future reference and possible use now, you can checkout and modify the CVSROOT/cvswrappers file from the repository, and add the filename pattern in the syntax: pattern option 'value' [option 'value' ...] for example, add the following line to make all *.jar files binary when added. *.jar -m 'COPY' -k 'b' This tells CVS when a jar file is added, use the "COPY" merge strategy (it keeps a complete copy of the file, instead of just the delta version), and to mark it as binary mode in the CVS status for the file. if you modify the cvswrappers file BEFORE you import, you should be able to avoid this hassle... Hope this helps!

>Hi all, >I am using eclipse cvs repository view for downloading the cvs >repository jar files. >Could any one pls tell me how the jar files can be downloaded after >importing them to the cvs repository. You need to make sure they are of type binary, either when importing or later with the admin command. Once this is fixed you need to check if the files in the repository are ok. As they are probably not you need to commit working versions. After then the checkout should work fine. Please search in the archives, look for "binary files", this has come up many times. ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You shouldn't reply to the digest.

RE: jar files in cvs repository (Jesper Vad Kristensen) You already got an answer that told you to make sure that the file type is binary. If you didn't understand this answer (it might be a bit difficult for cvs-newbies) you should ask a more specific question e.g. how to change the file type to binary or whatever. Please read the mails you get. Anyway, look into the manual, there's a whole section (9) about binary files. bye Fabi ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Yes: if the client system differentiates between text and binary files (Unix-like systems do not, Windows does). You might get lucky, but reading a binary file as text almost always results in corruption. -Larry Jones I hate it when they look at me that way. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Not necessarily. If you are operating from a machine that uses CR/LF (for example, Windows), than the CR/LF was converted on check in, thus, the repository version is corrupted, too. > The instructions I've given our users is to do this: > > cvs admin -kb cvs update > > which has always seemed to work in the past.
