Hi,

I am using WinCVS version 2.0.2.4 (Build 4) along with CVSNT server
version 2.5.03. Both server and client is on different VM on Windows
XP Professional. Well, my working copy is on netrwork drive for both
user.

When I try to uopdate the changed in my local working copy to merge
changes done by other user, I always get merge conflict. Though the
changes done by other user is very simple, wincvs cannot merge it at
all. Is there any setting on CVS server or WinCVS client which I need
to use.

Following is the example of what I am doing with 2 diffrent user viz.
User1 and User2.

1 - User1 has created a new file File1.sql and commited in the CVS
Server
2 - User2 checks out this file in the working directory.
3 - User2 adds anew line in the file and checks in
4 - User1 updates the local copy.
5 - Changes gets merged into working copy of User1.

Now if I follow same steps before updating the local copy of User1 but
User1 makes some changes in the local copy, User1 always gets the
conflict problem.

Anyone have any idea what is going wrong???

Hi, I'm using WinCvs 2.0.3.1 (Build 1) and I have an error when i try
to add a new file in a folder that has already been checked into CVS.
I successfully performed the "Modify\Add selection" but when I want to
commit the file i have the following problem:

    cvs commit -m Creation -- surv.c (in directory D:\Projets\test\src\)
    cvs commit: cannot lock `P:/test/src/surv.c,v'.

    ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

     Philippe.

If bth edit the file at the same location there will always be a
conflict. For example if both add a new (different) line to the file
then this will be considered a merging conflict because the change was
made in the same line by both users....

Using wincvs 2.0.2.4(Build 4) and trying to do import of new project.
Getting errors on the binaries and the .index files, not sure why
the .index, they should be text.

How do I set the -kb option, or whatever else to allow wincvs to import
project that contains binaries??

hi friends,
    I am Nani working in a small company upto now our company havent

getting the usermanual  for this version,and the documentation is for CVS
only.
   then how can i proceed .i am facing some difficulties in getting the
module .First i created the CVSROOT as my working PC(i.e local),,can any one

Wincvs is only a GUI frontend for the cvsnt client. You also need to have
set up properly a cvsnt server and a repository that it serves. Start by
reading the cvsnt manual <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/>; this will
save you a lot of headaches.

WinCvs is a CVT *client*.  It allows you to work with CVS repositories
stored on a CVS server somewhere.  Since you are trying to set up
version control, you will first need to set up a repository on a server
somewhere; if you are working with a small (i.e., one-person) project,
you might set up a repository just for yourself on the same computer you
   are running WinCvs on.  Once you've got a repository set up, you can
then configure WinCvs to work with it.

Since you are asking on the CvsGui mailing list, we'll assume you are
interested in using CVS as your version control system.  If so, take a
look at CvsNT for CVS server software to host your repository:

Does anyone know of macros or otherwise to do a COMMIT and MOVE TAG at
the same time:

commit and move xx.1 tag
commit and move xx.2 tag
commit and move xx.3 tag


etc?


Thanks!

Hi,

I've updated (on the same day) from pserver to kerberos access and from
WinCvs Version 1.1b16 to WinCVS 2.0.2.4. I cannot view the files I
checked out in the WinCVS 2.0.2.4 UI using kerberos access, but I can
see the folders. None of my file filters are enabled.

Note if I start the old wincvs on a pserver directory and then exit
and start up the new wincvs I can see the pserver files in the new
wincvs. If I then exit the new wincvs and restart it I can't see the
files.

I later uninstalled both wincvs clients and reinstalled only the
2.0.2.4 version checked out the source again using kerberos access
and I still cannot see the files.


Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi

I have used wincvs nearly 1 years;
There is a problem puzzle me very much!

In the menu "Modify", there is a menu item "Create a tag....", but sometimes it
is "Create a tag by module", why doesn't it happen?

PS: Of cource, I know the difference between two, but what happen? My version of
"wincvs" is 2.0.2.4;

Thank you very much!

Word document files are binary.  While CVS can version control them, it
does not "know" how to record, check and display differences between
versions of binary files.  As I understand it, CVS will just store a
full copy of each version and not provide and difference reporting or
merging.

CVS is an excellent tool to version control text files.  It is not well
suited to version control binary files like Word documents files.

Kind of. cvs(nt) alone is not well suited, but you can enhance it to make
it better suited.

On the client side, you can retrieve the two versions you want to compare
and then use either Word's own comparison feature or any 3rd party file
comparison tool that can handle Word files. TortoiseCVS for example lets
you configure a comparison tool. If you use one that can handle both text
and Word files, it does all this automatically and transparently for you.

AFAIK there's also a server side solution that allows you to add a plugin
of some kind to the cvsnt server that gets invoked for comparing the file
types you set it up for. Don't know much about this, and the cvsnt support
group is probably the best place to ask about this.

hello group,
    i am using wincvs 2.0.2.4 version and i created local pc as server.
when i am commiting i am getting the versions .but i have a problem
that how to extract the previous 1.3 version suppose i am working on
newversion 1.7.

   and any one pls suggest how to configure the local pc as repository.
   i created but i am in a position that is it correct or not..

regards,,
raajsheker.

You guys probably get this one every day, but I can't find a fix in
the FAQ.  The title pretty much says it all....just tried the latest
"bare" and normal installers on win32 - both behave identially.  Can
run python from cmd line so it is in the path.

Thanks,

Hi all,
is it possible to share some source files saving them just one time in
the repository and then shared them among several projects? Example:
projects A, B and C all use memory.c I would like to have memory.c in
the repository within A project and shared it among prj A,B and C and if
someone will modify memory.c working on project B him changes will be
ready also for A and C projects.

I don't need to insert memory.c in a library, I would avoid to do this.

Yes it is possible if u can create softlink in cvs

Hello,

I would like WinCVS 2 to connect to a linux cvs server over ssh.
I have tried both ssh and ext protocol without success.

When using the previous version (WinCVS1.3), I used to have a
small sshcvs.bat batch file doing the authentication via plink (that
comes with putty).
====
@echo off
set CMD_LINE_ARGS=
:setArgs
if ""%1""=="""" goto doneSetArgs
set CMD_LINE_ARGS=%CMD_LINE_ARGS% %1
shift
goto setArgs
:doneSetArgs

"c:\program files\putty\plink.exe" -ssh -i rsa-key.ppk %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
===

I would like to connect using this key, because then I don't need to
type the ssh password every time! Putty's authentication agent
(Pageant) would
store the key for me and authenticate me every time.

Where would I put a link to such a batch file with the new CVSROOT wizard?

Is the CVSNT password agent something similar to Putty's
authentication agent?


Thanks!

You'll want to look at the modules or modules2 file in the CVSROOT of
your repository.

I'm not sure if this is off topic, or belongs to another list.  If so, I
appologize.

I've been using CVSNT for years already with my PHP, HTML & Java code and
love it.  Recently, however, I've been starting to work with VBA apps.
Specifically, an MS Access database application.  I'm stuck, however, trying
to understand if/how there is a way to use CVS for source controlling my VBA
code in my MDB application.

My knowledge of VBA development is still rather limited, so forgive me if
this sounds like a silly question.  The only way I know to access the Access
VBA code is to open the mdb in access, and from there open the Visual Basic
Editor (version 6.5).  When I save the VB code, it saves it within the MDB
file.

I realize that I can check in and check out the entire MDB every time, but
that seems extremely inefficient - both in terms of space (it is a binary
file, so would have to checkin over a meg every time), and in terms of
source control - I won't be able to see differences between versions, or
roll back and forth easily, etc...

Does anyone have any ideas how (or even if) it is possible to use CVS on VBA
files?  I can only imagine this would apply to any MS product - like Excel,
Access, Word, etc....


If I should be posting this to another list, please let me know!

Thanks,

Eric

I don't know, but if you don't get any answers here, you might ask in an
appropriate VBA (or Access, Excel etc.) group about storing your VBA
scripts outside the mdb (xls, ...) file. To this extent, this has nothing
to do with cvs.

If this is possible, you then can probably figure out how to manage them
with cvs.

Thanks - that's a great idea.  I'll give it a shot.  I had figured that
others using CVS might have encountered this issue beforehand, so I thought
I would give it a try here as well.

Hi, we recently needed to move a directory structure with several
sub-directories (and hundreds of files) to a different location in a project
to satisfy some new Makefile rules.  I did the following:

	 1. Copied the directory to the new location
	 2. Removed existing "CVS" directories
	 3. Checked in all directories and files in the new location
	 4. Removed the old directory from CVS and committed.

My first suggestion is, with step 3, I pretty much had to add directories
one at a time, then go into each directory and add files.  Looking at a list
of state "Unknown" files in Flat Mode, the "Add" menu option always gets
grayed out, unless ALL selected files are in the same directory.  "Add" also
gets grayed out if you select more than 1 "Unknown" directory.  It would be
nice if you could add several directories at once, and then select a bunch
of files in there with Flat Mode and add them.  Either that, or just have
something that works like the Import Module interface for adding new
directory trees under an existing repository.

The other (and more serious) problem that we had was that someone,
unbeknownst to me, had modified several files under the old directory
location, and had not committed any changes after a couple days of work.
When he updated, his entire (modified) directory structure got deleted and
was NOT put in the recycle bin.

I know if you modify a file and someone else removes it, you simply get a
message like "X is modified but no longer in the repository."  If you then
get the clean copy, you still a ".#" file along with the original file, and
the message "X is not (any longer) pertinent."  That's all well and good,
but if those files exist under another directory which was removed from the
CVS repository, it seems that everything just gets wiped out without getting
put in the recycle bin.

Obviously in the future, we'll try to make sure everyone commits
modifications before we remove directories.  It would be nice, though, if
WinCvs would simply delete everything through the Recycle bin, especially
when removal results from a simple update (even if prune empty directories
is checked).  Any other suggestions you guys have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

I'm adding another scenario that might help resolve this problem.

1. Open WinCvs Version 1.1b16 on an arbitrary directory
  I can see the files in the WinCvs UI.
  Exit WinCvs Version 1.1b16.
2. Open WinCVS 2.0.2.4 on the same directory
  I can see the files in the WinCVS UI.
  Exit WinCVS 2.0.2.4.
3. Open WinCVS 2.0.2.4 on the same directory
  I CANNOT see the files in the WinCVS UI.
  Exit WinCVS 2.0.2.4.
4. Open WinCvs Version 1.1b16 on the same directory.
  I CANNOT see the files in the WinCvs UI.
  Exit WinCvs Version 1.1b16.
5. Open WinCvs Version 1.1b16 on the same directory.
  I can see the files in the WinCvs UI.

Thanks,
Steve

Have you tried the macros under Macros | Add?

Alternatively, you may want to check out TortoiseCVS.

This is strange. I've never had cvsnt delete a folder that contained
non-cvsnt files (and the .# backup files are non-cvsnt files). Can you boil
this down to a command line sequence? If so, you probably should submit it
to the cvsnt support group.

Looks like the extended add selection does what I was looking for.

Yes, it is strange.  I just tried to reproduce this on my computer
again and couldn't get it to happen this time.  I guess I'll just
chalk it up to having a non-programmer working with on older version
of CVSNT.  *shrug*

In the Python DLL field, enter C:\Windows\System32\Python25.dll

In the TCL DLL field, enter C:\Python25\DLLs\TCL24.dll

Restart CVS and all should be fine.

I found that if I disable the View Workspace option, I can see the
source files in the WinCVS 2.0.2.4 UI.
