Terminology

Simple question really "So what is the repository?" Now I thought I knew the answer to this: (chapter 2 Version Management with CVS 1.10.6): "...so the repository :local:/usr/local/cvsroot means ..." "The repository is split into two parts $CVSROOT/CVSROOT contains

Various solutions suggest themselves: 1: (the right way :-) Configure sendmail(8) to do 'site hiding' (masquerading) This is not as hard as it might first appear. Look in: (I was going to suggest using the MACROS {m4} way of building sendmail.cf

This is the kind of e-mail that attracts replies like (insert something very attractive) In essence replies of the form "Oh I wouldn't do it that way ... I'm using a CVS (Solaris) repository with pclient (W2K) clients and I keep finding things 'a bit flaky' I suspect: 1: I've set things up

pserver causes slow serialization

First I'm forced to use outlook .. so profuse apologies before I even start :-) One of 'my users :-)' has complained that cvs commits from his emacs session are very slow. We use 'pserver' to access the repository. I use emacs locally and have not noticed this behaviour, time to investigate:

This is exactly the behaviour I got which lead to the above debate about CR-LF sequences. We have mixed development on doze Unix. The same 'snadboxes' are visible on all platforms. The CVS repository is locked away in nice safe datacentre and only accesed via pserver. If a doze user does a

Line ending conventions

The preceding thread has gone through a lot of change. I thought some stakes in the ground might be useful. 1: The only "problem" I have is with CVS's on 'internal' files CVS/Root CVS/Entries etc. I don't get a chance to run dos2unix et al on these.

performance and /tmp

I raised a bug report in this area a while back but it did not seem to evoke any kind of response. The simplistic assumption that: - "If I'm editing files on Windows I want the OLD MS-DOS conventions" - "If I'm editing files on Unix I want Unix conventions" Is not really

cvs isn't reading the incoming socket. inetd is reading the incoming information and passing it on to the stdin of the cvs process. So in this case only one process is actually reading all incoming sockets. Slightly at a tangent for this group but this is not how inetd works. It
