The use of CVS Branches???

Hello, I use CVS V1.10, and i am in confusion with the CVS branches. First, what is the basic difference between "cvs commit" and "cvs import"? I think that my problem came, because i track my source evolutions by always doing an "cvs import" from the head directory of my project. I have made t

Hi, I think I fixed the problem w/ running cvs as root. I went into the xinetd.d directory and changed the cvs file to specify the user name other than root (which I had just created). I still have the passwd file in the CVSROOT directory. This has a user name and password different from the use

CVS - Automated builds

Hello, I have created an automated build script that checks out files from CVS, also. (CVS runs on Solaris) It works fine when I build from one src tree, but when I build from multiple src trees (cronjob), I run into problems.I am not sure if it's CVS-related or broken code. What type of pr

RE: Files changed on a specific branch

Hi Mark, This type of detailed reporting would have to be done by first generating a full report and importing that into a database; then create the more detailed report. Or switch to using a different cm tool that is project oriented with it's own built in database (MKSSI or QVCS for instance.)
