Fixed watches problem - next issue...
Thanks to all who responded to my initial queries RE watches in CVS. It turned out that Debian stable has a version with broken watches, but Debian unstable/testing has a version which is patched such that there is no bug. I updated the debian distro on the server and installed the newer cvs and watches are now working. Now that I have watches going, I want to be able to draw the end developer's attention to the fact that the file is being edited by someone else. Using WinCVS - it lists the usernames currently editing the file when one selects edit. ... but I'm not entirely sure how the watches notify someone? ... and how this notification works in cross platform, client/server environment ... could the the file you're editing is being edited by someone else too be highlighted by some means similar to a popup? Ideally something like The file you want to edit is being edited by someone else, do you wish to proceed with editing anyway? or otherwise if it's not being edited by anyone else, just go ahead with it. Happy to RTFM - documentation I've read so far seems a little thin on how exactly watch notification works.

watches and notification for multiple developers
We have 5 developers besides myself who want watches on the same set of files. Plus we have a contractor company on the other side of the world who wants to do the same. What is the most efficient way to go about this? Jeanie ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Watches
Hi folks, Is there any way to setup a repository so that all files are watched by default ? The cvs watch on command will add watches to all existing files, but not for new files. Cheers Colm A ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
removing watches
Hi: How do I remove the watches set by users who have left the company. Thanks joe __ Do You Yahoo!? Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Yahoo! Shopping. http://shopping.yahoo.com ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Remove watches from departed developer from repository?
A developer has left our company. I deleted his account and all that. But he is still mentioned hundreds' of times as editor and/or watcher of files in our CVS repository. Is there a way to remove all hist wathes and all his cvs edit commands with just a single command? The cvs watch remove command has no option to remove all watches of a certain user. Note that I cannot login as the user since I already deleted his account (unless I recreate it). The only solution I have so far is to manually edit the CVS/fileattr files in every directory. It is a tedious task... Any hints are welcome! Thanks, Hans Drexler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: How to use CVSup and edits/watches?
3. A user would need to wait till the datalink is up before being able to 'cvs watch' or 'cvs edit' a file. The user would need to keep manual records of which files need to be watched or edited once the datalink becomes available. I think CVS buffers this information until the link is back up. The next time the user uses CVS and the link is up, CVS will send the watch and edit info over. Noel This communication is for informational purposes only.

Problem with watches cvsroot

Any idea of what is going wrong? why does it use the F: drive now?? When you have a checked out directory, CVS uses the root specification in CVS/Root (which is the root you specified when you checked out the directory) instead of using $CVSROOT; this makes it much easier for people to use multiple repositories. You can override that by using the -d global option on the command line, but for permanent changes, you need to either correct the CVS/Root file or delete the directory and check it out again using the correct root. -Larry Jones Something COULD happen today.

CVS watches - question
Hi, please help me - I run into problem with read-only files and watches. If I add file after watch was turned on and then another user updates his working copy, the user receives this new added file without read-only flag - is it a bug or I miss something? I'm running CVS server version 1.11.1p1 on Red Hat 7.0 and command line Win2K client version 1.11 Here is what I did: 1.I put watch on my whole module: cvs watch on MP 2. User does checkout cvs checkout MP, receives all files in subdirectories as read-only - that's exactly what he needs. 3. I add a new file in /MP/test/newfile cvs add newfile and the commit cvs commit MP 4. User does update cvs update MP and receives a newfile without read-only flag. WHY?? How can I solve this problem?

Interaction between cvs co and edit watches
We are using a CVS pserver model with Linix Server and NT clients. We are running CVS v1.10.8. I have discovered that using cvs co to checkout a new work area removes any edit markings that may exist on a file. For example: cd c:\work\watch_test cvs co -r mybranch myproj cd myproj/mymodule cvs edit myfile cvs editors myfilemberney Fri Feb 16 22:11:28 2001 GMTmberney C:\work\watch_test2\myproj\mymodule cd c:\work\watch_test2 cvs co -r mybranch myproj cd myproj/mymodule cvs editors (BLANK) As you can see from my simulated transcript here that when I checkout myproj in a separate work area, the edit markings go away. Is there any way to prevent this? Or is there some other solution? Please reply via email.

[Info-cvs] Watches..
Hello! I have enabled wathes ( cvs watch on dir ) from the root directory of my reposetory. This works fine, but what do I have to do when new files or directories are added? Do I have to include them by running the same cvs command again, or is it possible to have newfiles/directories added to the watch list when they are added into the reposetory? -Thomas ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
