Re: WinCVS: select in many dirs

Something like managing working sets of files would be nice, so you can assign different files to different tasks. When a task is completed, you commit it. Would not only help with the revision control, but also with the development side. You don't always have to search around in some directories

RE: patch to log.c to permit dates to be output in localtime

[EMAIL PROTECTED] on 05/19/2000 05:50:01 PM So, I think the conversion has to be done on the client side, since that's the only place that has sufficient information to do the conversion correctly. [smc] Yes, agreed. Again, yuck, (parsing the log output). No wonder nobody has

Cvs server setup

Hi, I'm trying to setup a cvs repository. Locally everything is ok - I only have troubles when the client is on another machine. Protocol is ssh (not default port), and OS (server machine) is based on Red Hat. This is what happens: # cvs -t -d :ext:user@ip_address:/usr/local/cvsroot co

ignoring files

Is there a way to have a file checked into the repository but not let subsequent check-ins check it in by default? .cvsignore only seems to work with files that are not already in the repository. We have a few files that developers change for testing fairly often, but these changes shouldn't go

My loginfo file is getting executed every minute. No one has performed any action on the repository for a couple hours. What could be causing this? -Dave

Re: some question about gCVS.

David, gCvs is still in Alpha stage, it's not feature complete. What you relate have not been implemented yet. gCvs is going to be advantage for WinCvs users because the interface is going to be alike. However, tkCvs is still the best choice on Unix for now. Regards, alex. Peng Yun wrote:

Re: ignoring files

Such a situation usually occurs for configuration purposes. Configuration parameters usually get set within makefiles and header files. Therefore, if possible, factor out the configurable stuff into another file (that's not in the repository) and include (possibly optionally) this file into the

Some guesses: 1. A cronjob has been set to execute the loginfo script. 2. The loginfo script does a "cvs commit" in the background. 3. A cronjob has been set to "cvs commit". Noel [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 05/22/2000 01:25:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Noel L Yap) Subject: Loginfo

maccvs and ssh

I saw some posts on this in the archive, but the basic answer, using ssh tunnelling, does not work for me, for two reasons. One is personal perference: I don't want to pay money to buy F-Secure or whatever. Second is technological: my target host does not allow logins, so I cannot open an ssh

I'm sure this must be a common question, but it doesn't seem to appear in the cvs FAQ. How can I (semi-?) automatically maintain a text string identifying the project release version number? One way which occurred to me would be to substitute the text of the release tag, but there doesn't
