a problem when i port gCVS binary to another machine

hi, alex, i met a problem when I try to port gCVS binary to another machine. it has the same sparc family cpu and same os version. it reports that: couldn't find pixmap , but i found all pixmap files are in its share directory. thus gCVS launches with no tool bar image. what's the problem, how t

Re: Off topic, sort of: best ChangeLog practices?

CVS policy is that any change checked in be accompanied by a ChangeLog entry (and a sanity.sh test, actually). As far as advantages over $Log$ messages, you have only one file to look at for log messages per directory, thus having a single entry for each "job" checked in, even when the changes ma

Re: Bug (?) in branching support / removed files

Call me paranoid, but I'd probably just 'cvs add' the file again. As for changing an RCS file killing you, Michael, I'm pretty sure that the rumor about the CVS RCS code occassionally changing the sync rate of video cards and causing monitors to explode really is just a rumor, but you never know.

CVSROOT/passwd enhancements

I'm considering making some enhancements to the CVSROOT/passwd file format and I'd like people's opinions: First, I'd like to interpret "*" in the password field as "the system password for this user". That would allow people who are not concerned with network security to use system passwords al

Re: Bug (?) in branching support / removed files

I'm assuming you meant me. I'm not *that* well-versed with the RCS file format. I do know, though, that anyone can figure it out just by looking at it and intelligently changing some things (after making a backup of course). The way I'd attack this problem would be to: 1. add a new file 2. copy
