Since CVS is a server thing, I prefer to have the repository installed 
somewhere else than in my home directory.  (Typically I choose 
/local/cvs or something like that.)

Is your home directory shared between your server and the workstation?

The error message seems to indicate to me that you are trying to check 
out a copy of the repository and placing the checked out copy in the 
repository itself.

Try placing the repository somewhere else, away from  your home 
directory.

No.  Remote access is via a remote command facility like rsh or ssh, or
a proprietary protocol (pserver).  Of those, only ssh is recommended for
use across the public internet.  I believe the current feature release
of CVS has some provisions for using an HTTP proxy server to traverse
firewalls, but I don't know the details.

Re: Question about CVS on Windows NT

[Nicolas PEZRON]

Hi everybody,

it's ok for my configuration of WinCVS !
The solution of Larry Jones was the good, it was
effectly the "/" at the end of my CVSROOT in WINCVS
which has caused me so much problems...
I would like to thank you very much for the help you
gave me, and especially Matt for the patience he had
with me...
Have a good day

Nicolas.

The stuff after the last : (/cvs/CIDRE/) must
*exactly* match an
--allow-root option of the pserver, which it doesn't. 
I suspect they
should both be /cvs/CIDRE (having a trailing slash can
cause problems).

ok
so I have configured my inetd.conf file on the server,
this is the line I have added to it :
"#CVS server
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /opt/cvs/bin/cvs cvs
-f --allow-root=/cvs/CIDRE/CVSROOT pserver"
I have also created a passwd file in my
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT folder, this is my passwd file :
"int:"
so, I should be able to connect to the server with the
user int because I have configured my CVSROOT on my
WinCVS client like this : 
":pserver:int@cidre:/cvs/CIDRE/"
but I have always the following message :
"cvs login: authorization failed: server cidre
 rejected access to /cvs/CIDRE/ for user int"

could you help me please, I begin to discourage myself
thank you very much and thank you for your previous
answers

Hi,

finally, I have decided to use WinCVS as a client and
a server Unix as a CVS server
when I try to connet to the CVS server, I have the
following error :
"cvs login: authorization failed: server cidre
rejected access to /cvs/CIDRE/ for user int"
I don't know how to configure the passwords
there is a menu in "Admin" which is "WinCVW" and there
is a place to put the folder for the passwords
I don't know what to put here
thank you very much for you answer

Nicolas.

Make sure you have an entry in /etc/services like:

cvspserver  2401/tcp

This looks ok.

The entry in inetd.conf says that your repository path is
"/cvs/CIDRE/CVSROOT", while your $CVSROOT is set to "/cvs/CIDRE/"; they
have to be the same. I'm guessing you want to remove the extra "CVSROOT"
from your inetd.conf.

Good luck.

You need to configure passwords on the server, not the client. See the

If it is easy for you to get at files on the UNIX box from Windows, then
you don't necessarily need WinCVS. In that case, you should make sure
that your Windows editor doesn't change the file line endings to DOS
format. If that's a big problem, you might be better off with using
WinCVS.

That sounds like you imported (with "cvs import") your RCS files.  You
should copy the RCS files into your CVSROOT directory instead.  See:

You must be doing something obtuse, like checking RCS ,v files into the
repostiory. Or maybe you tried to recursively import a repository module
into itself? This leads to ever lengthening chains of ,v,v,v,v suffixes.
The only solution then is to erase the whole mess and do it properly.

With CVS, the repository lives in a different place from the working
files. Its location is specified by an environment variable, or using
a command-line option. It can be in a distant directory, or on another
machine completely.

There is nothing that describes how to *get* this behavior.

You are best to learn how to use CVS properly from scratch.

It's possible to take RCS ,v files and manually add them to a CVS
repository. Thereby an RCS project can be converted directly to a CVS one.
I did that long ago with a few programs.

1. Not unless you stop checking in changes.
   As noted just about any time anyone asks anything about revisions
   on this list: Revision numbers are the magic smoke that make CVS
   work, mess with them and CVS will no longer do its work reliably.
   Do not confuse revision numbers and releases, more details on this
   issue at http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_4.html#SEC44>.

2. This question is mostly just a matter of saving disk space and if
   you really are that bad off on disk space, go ahead using 'cvs
   admin -o' as described in
   http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC119>.
   Note that this is a really dangerous operation and really only
   worth doing if you are handling large binary files (these tend to
   be real space hogs).

Good luck

Your using a version of cvs that is compiled for a later version( 2.6,2.8? )
of solaris than what you are using.

Get the source and compile.

Does this version of CVS use the external RCS commands or does it
bring their functionality with it?  See the doc on this.

Look at the message, please, and look closer.  ci(1) is
complaining.  Check your "man 1 ci" documentation and search for
the -x option.  You may have to update your *RCS* program suite.

You have an ancient version of CVS along with a prehistoric version of
RCS.  Upgrading to the current release of CVS (1.11), which you can get
from www.cvshome.org, will solve this problem.
