Removing a branch

2002-05-02 Thread Danial Islam
What is the safest/best way to remove a branch full of files from the repository? I was thinking that cvs rtag -d or cvs tag -d are not sufficient enough. Danial. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/i

Upgrading to 1.11 from 1.10

In UNIX, if I had the repository and all the scripts set up in CVS 1.10, then if i start using the binary for CVS 1.11 during the middle of our code development, will my repository get screwed up? Danial ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Refreshing my working directory

2002-05-01 Thread Danial Islam
Hi, I have a working directory called TempDir. Recently the files in the repository were modified, so I want to do a refresh of my whole working directory, even the files that I changed in my working directory and have not checked in yet. I want everything in TempDir to be updated with the late

I had this problem before. I think you have to set write permissions (e.g. chmod -R o+w *) on the directories you want to checkout. They're probably set to read-only now. Danial. Arcin Bozkurt wrote: > This is what I get when doing an update: > > cvs server: Updating . > cvs server: failed to

Actually i did at first remove that line. But CVS wouldn't log in anymore, it gave me an error saying it can't find CVSROOT. So I had to use the "cvs -w line". Danial. Larry Jones wrote: > Danial Islam writes: > > > > Yes I have tried to read it. I don&#

Write permissions on files

Instead of performing a "chmod +w filename.c" on each file you want to edit, is it possible to have write permissions set automatically on a checkout or update? Danial. ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/i

I know that, but it may create confusion among first-time CVS users if nothing happens on login. I want to know if there is a script to issue after logins. Danial. Larry Jones wrote: > Danial Islam writes: > > > > Is there a way to notify the user that they have logged

viewing the history

2002-04-15 Thread Danial Islam
I've been using "cvs history -e" to view the all the activities made to my repository. However, it seems it only shows transactions made with the current user ID (mine) and not those made by other people. For example, when I do a 'cvs history -e', I get this: [dislam@caiprs CVSROOT]% cvs histor

Oh gosh... nevermind. I realized you don't move the viewcvs.conf file into your apache/conf directory (unlike cvsweb.conf)! You configure viewcvs.conf in the directory where viewcvs was installed. I set up rcs_path and it worked. Danial. Danial Islam wrote: > Anyone tried using

Anyone tried using ViewCVS? I can't get mine to work properly. It shows my directories but won't show the files. And it says, for example: "There are 75 files, but none match the current selection criteria." I am aware that sometimes this problem is due to the fact that rcs_path in viewcvs.con

I'm not sure if I posted this already, but here goes again: In my repository I have set up a main trunk with two branches coming out of it, e.g. Branch A and Branch B.Is it possible to restrict Branch A to a certain group of users, and Branch B to another group of users? How would this be
