Defining modules

2001-03-05 Thread Michael Lukaschek
Hello, is there a way to define modules consisting of some other modules (other modules are defined in modules file, but they are not the real modules name, they are aliases... )? Is there a way to specify a branch in the modules file? I want to define a module using a specified branch of another

cvs checkout hangs with ssh2?

When I try to do a large checkout using cvs over ssh2, my server hangs. WHen I do the same checkout over ssh1 I don't have this problem. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions? Here are the particulars: server: OS: NetBSD 1.4.1 ssh2 version 2.0.12 cvs version: 1.10 ssh1 ver

Ahh, I see the problem. You need some way to tell everyone that the database stuff is being worked on. You're thinking of using CVS as the mechanism to do so. I think I would use the "cvs edit -c" patch for this situation. Noel [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2001.03.02 13:54:59 (see below) > [EMAIL

This is a bug in SSHv2. You must use SSHv1 as an RSH replacement for the time being. I have had no problems running CVS through an SSHv2 tunnel however, so if you want to bind pserver to the loopback and tunnel in that would work ok. On Mon, Mar 05, 2001 at 11:06:45AM -0600, John D. DeHart wr

Great idea, thanks Mike! For the record, here's what I did: cvs diff -bw -r HEAD -r branch-tag filename > patch.txt vi patch.txt patch < patch.txt I was a bit surprised when the patch applied cleanly after I had (carefully) hacked a bunch of stuff out, only one hunk failed and everything else w

CVS has no facilities for changing this as far as I know. It's probably better just to use UTC in your other systems as well :) On Mon, Mar 05, 2001 at 06:47:17PM -0800, Li, James wrote: > > BTW, How to change cvs default time zone from UTC/GMT to my local PST. > > Thanks > > -James > > >
