a newbie facing tagging problem
Title: a newbie facing tagging problem Hi, I am newbie in using cvs. I am using a cvs configured by somebody else. I am facing a problem with the cvs setup as follows: I have remote repository When we tag main directory of a project it is shown that For xyz/abcsys/src/base/vlan/Makefile HEAD and other tags are shown correctly. Branch:MAIN inside vlan directory there is another vlan sub directory. But for files in this: For xyz/abcsys/src/base/vlan/vlan/Makefile Only HEAD tag is shown. Branch:MAIN Due this I am facing tremendeous problem in building old versions. What could be the cause/solution for the problem. Am I alone who has faced this problem? Thanks in advance, akumar ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

The problem is that the files in that directory have never been tagged. >From you description, it's not clear whether you're trying to apply a new tag or you're trying to use a tag that was applied some time in the past. If the problem is with a new tag that you applied using "cvs tag", it would appear that your working directory has become corrupted in some way such that CVS commands don't know that that directory exists. If there aren't any changes in your working directory that you need, the simplest fix is to delete it and do a new checkout. Otherwise, check the CVS/Entries file in the parent vlan directory -- it should contain an entry for the vlan subdirectory, which you can add by hand if necessary. If the problem is with an old tag, the problem is that the directory was never tagged in the first place and there's nothing you can do now to fix it other than trying to recreate the correct state of the directory (perhaps by updating to a particular date/time) and applying the tag now. -Larry Jones It's going to be a long year. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Why doesn't this list run something like the demime package to scrub HTML/MIME postings to this list, so people don't have to be bothered with worring about how their mail client is configured? http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html I use it on the mailing list I manage, and it does a fair job of converting HTML to plain text and it does strip MIME attachments out of mail.

Why doesn't this list run something like the demime package to scrub HTML/MIME postings to this list, so people don't have to be bothered with worring about how their mail client is configured? 'I am not a number' -- Number Six, from 'The Prisoner' Are you truly a number? That out of the way, I write as the closest thing to a list admin which this list has. The list is heavily spammed, and the target of automatic 'spambots'. A couple years ago, when I started doing list admin, I spent several days getting the attention of the upstream server admins, simply to undertake getting rights in the Mailman. I have writen three following times on issues which have arisen, with simply no response from the upstream admins. Sad but true. The list is de-spamed (largely) by a pair of policies -- limit the size of posts (which is set low enough that much multi-part (mime-laden) email is caught and held; and posts limited are to subscribers only. Because of the huge spam and held load, I do not pick through that cesspool of held posts, and they are functionally deleted. So one answer is that I cannot add a further explicit demimeing (in the fashion as suggested). As a matter of good news, the available de-mimeing options within Mailman are enabled. More broadly, the issue of demimeing and de-htmlizing email has been done by me locally for years as part of my inbound filters. That option exists for anyone willing to take control of their email stream; I am reasonably indifferent to a preson's complaint who says that they cannot -- for really, email addresses and domains, and the necessary compute resources to subscribe an alternative (filtered) email address are essentially freely available these days -- as 'cannot' really means they _will not_ take ownership of their own infosec. - Russ Herrold ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
