cvs server with different names
Hi CVSusers, My company is using CVS to do our version control and the current setup is to have the CVSROOT setup to be like the following (inside the company intranet): :pserver:alee@cvsserver:/home/cvs but when I work from home using DSL I change the Preferences setting to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of cvsserver but wincvs still remember my old setting and refuse the new CVSROOT. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks in advance! -Aaron ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: cvs server with different names
I did, the IP is working and the telnet is working, if you look under the CVS directory they have 3 files: Root, Entries and Repository. The Root file actually contains a line saying :pserver:alee@cvsserver:/home/cvs and I suspect wincvs is using this line instead of the CVSROOT in the preference setting. -Aaron -Original Message- From: Szabó Tamás [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 11:27 AM To: Aaron Lee; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cvs server with different names Hi! > where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of cvsserver but wincvs still > remember my old setting and refuse the new CVSROOT.

Re: cvs server with different names
Yes it does. You can override that only with the -d global parameter. In WinCVS 1.2(maybe in earlier releases too I don't know) the .cvsrc file is supported. So you had to put in your $HOME directory a file .cvsrc And write in it: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/repository When you are at work simply rename the file.

RE: cvs server with different names
I believe the line in Root takes precedence over whatever CVSROOT is set to. You can always just add a line to your hosts file for your cvs server so you can always use the name(vs the ip). The downside you will then be responsible for maintaining that ip-name mapping if your server ever changes ip. -Tony -Original Message- From: Aaron Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 2:30 PM To: Szabó Tamás; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: cvs server with different names I did, the IP is working and the telnet is working, if you look under the CVS directory they have 3 files: Root, Entries and Repository.

Re: cvs server with different names
That's exactly what's happening, and it's the way it's supposed to work. CVS uses the Root file to find the repository that the files came from. If you want to use the same IP address for both locations just use the "long form" (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in both places. Alternatively you can change the Root files (a bad idea) or check out a new copy when you're remote (which probably is not what you want to do). -- Dave Strauss On Tue, 20 Mar 2001 11:30:08 -0800, "Aaron Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I did, the IP is working and the telnet is working, if you look under > the CVS directory they have 3 files: Root, Entries and Repository.

Probably that won't work because on the internal network I guess he is using a reserved ip and from home he uses a real ip. > Alternatively you can change the Root files (a bad idea) or check out a > new copy when you're remote (which probably is not what you want to > do). Or he could set up $HOME/.cvsrc like cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/repository the -d parameter overrides CVS/Root.
