repository layout for large project

CVS question

Hi, I have the following problem. Lets assume that the top level repository contains a directory PackA which contains 2 files: afile1 and afile2. The repository also contains another directory at the same level, PackB which contains 1 file, bfile1. I'd like to know if CVS provides a mechanism that

Re: Best Practices enquiry

Have you considered a variation on method 1? Consider this: Before beginning work on a bug fix, apply a tag to the affected files. (You can tag everything in the containing directory if it's easier). Then fix the bug. Then merge the bug fix to the trunk, using the tag as the common ancestor.

Best Practices enquiry

Hi all. I would like to have the opinion of the experts here regarding when to merge. We currently have a rather standard setup. We have a branch for the stable, released version of our software where we only put bug fixes and minor improvements. All the development is made on the trunk

RE: Pserver command

It's working nowI had to manually create a .cvspass file in my home directory to execute the cvs login command first using pserver. I was then able to execute cvs commands after the CVSROOT env variable was set appropriately. The password I used to login was the plaintext version of the passwor

RE: Pserver command

Make sure their userId|password(encrypted)|cvsUserId is in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/passwd file on the pserver machine. Assuming that they have set up their CVSROOT env variable, then they 'cvs login' and they should then be able to proceed. > -Original Message- > From: RAJAGOPAL, AARTI (SBC

RE: Pserver command

What I'm trying to get to work is if a client wants to access the CVS repository remotely from another UNIX development box on which they are set up, how will they get authenticated through pserver to the CVS repository from their box, so that the

CVS Primer for VSS Users

I recently transitioned my team from Visual SourceSafe to CVS. One thing I overlooked was the conceptual and terminology differences between the two systems. I would like to direct those who are still confused to a document that explains all this. Does anyone know of a document that does this?
