ay, I thought I should report this / ask about it.
I gather there was a similar error reported in 1.9.20, but was only
supposed to be in that version.

Under Windows (U/Win) I tried exporting CVS_CLIENT_LOG as
d:/home/luke/cvs-client.txt and tried to cvs login. I couldn't
find a file whose name included the string
under U/Win 2.25,
which just happens to default to using "/$LOGNAME" as the login
id. This forced me to specify -l $LOGNAME to make even the ssh login
succeed. And after that, the cvs login worked.
So, we're happy that it's now working, but don't really understand what
went wrong, or why it now works.

I'll now go away and write or find a tool to record the metadata for
all the files concerned, and maintaining it as new ones are added.

I wouldn't. I wouldn't feel sure that there weren't repeated file
names, and it would be hard to find things, and see what files were
logically related. I can't see a good reason for having a different

I expect you didn't mean that your changes were propagated that way; I
expect if you had to push them out to remote machines you transferred
the files to a temp directory and then used ssh or the like on the
remote machine to become root there explicitly, and then installed the
files.
Anyway, my guess is that you were trying to solve a different problem
to me.
BTW, I used my script to put another home linux machine under cvs
control - a RH 6.2 system this time. It worked smoothly, took about 10
minutes, and is also working exactly as expected.

how you were solving a superset of my problem. Since I'm trying to
solve a simpler problem, I don't see why the solution can't be simpler.

spent by people in responding. I've been lucky myself in having enough

What is the safest way to competely remove a project from the repository.
I could use:
rm -rf project_name
I suspect that the repository would not be happy with this.

Allow Unix-style pipelining of simple commands to extend diff

les `modules.db',
`modules.pag', and/or `modules.dir'.
Is there any further info on configuring CVS to use gdbm? Especially,
benchmarks?

Someone just asked me if there was a way to do a cvs diff for a
particular date of all the changes made by a particular user.
It seemed a reasonable question in context (which was two developers
committing a raft of independent changes each, over the same day).

person starts to edit it?
Or is there a better way to do what I want? Maybe CVS isn't what I need for
this.

I think we'll just have to agree to differ. I've been using it for a
month now, on several systems, and it's working very well and exactly
as I hoped, and causing no problems.
Once I've written up a good man page, I'll make it available for
there.
