CVS command hangs with commit

2001-03-20 Thread David Kornmann
Hi, I am experiencing some connection problem with our cvs server. Basically cvs is hanging everytime I execute and update, commit, add command. Whether I am connecting to the server with pserver of ssh does not matter, the command is always hanging. If I attempt to checkout a module, it

Hi. I got a problem. When a file is created in the repository, its permissions are 001, so it fails locking and crashes. I checked the user umask and it's fine. Where else can I look. I tried to do chmod g+s to the directory but it didn't help. I'm stuck. Where can I research further ? Thank

Another time question

Could you please explain how the time is used by CVS. Is it used to determine if a file has changed? Or, does it always look at the contents of the files to determine changes? ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Another time question

2001-03-20 Thread Szabó Tamás
If I'm right then the time is always used to determine if the file is modified. The timestamp of the file is compared to the timestamp saved in the Entries file. But if you didn't change the file, you only "touch" it and try to commit then the file will not be really commited. Tamas Annette

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

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

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

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
