sandbox on NFS-mounted directory?

Greetings, I have seen lots of warnings against accessing a repository through an NFS mount. But I do not remember seeing any comments about accessing a sandbox through an NFS mount. (Although, until today, I did not think I cared, so could easily have overlooked warnings.) I would welcome your

access to cvshome

Greetings, I have the feeling that I may have seen the answer to this question here lately, but I cannot find it now. Please accept my apologies if this is a repeat. What is the method for read access to the source repository at cvshome.org?

dangers of ctrl-z in text files

Greetings. In a recent posting to info-cvs, I pointed out the need to flag as binary any file which might contain a byte with the value decimal 26, a.k.a. ctrl-z. Then I sat down to write some words for chapter 9 of the Cederqvist, and I find that I still have a little bit to learn. Can somebody

Invalid reply from auth server

Greetings, all Suddenly, this morning, I get a bunch or error messages when I try to cvs update my sandbox. My screen shows many messages that look like "cvs server: Invalid reply from auth server (/srclist.txt) looking for ( /srclist.txt)". But when I look more closely (emacs hexl-mode on file

how to add file to a module

Greetings. I started with - a repository, - a module definition listing specific files, - a sandbox into which I have checked out that module. Then, a vendor update (cvs import) adds a new file to the repository. Upon examination, I decide that the new file should be part of the module I a

args to fchmod() and chmod()

Greetings, all. I notice that cvs in several places executes fchmod() or chmod(), and that in some cases the new mode argument is the mode returned from an earlier call to stat(). This value typically includes the file type. On most platforms this causes no problem, but OS/400 complains that "

checkout.c uses strdup()

Greetings, I notice that checkout.c, below the comment "/* strip the last_component */" still uses strdup() instead of xstrdup(). Is this an accedent? FWIW, OS/400 documents strdup() as an XPG4 extension. Speaking of compiler warnings ... Does anybody still build cvs with a compiler which does
