<br>
<br>Our CVS server is running on Linux and users use CVS.exe or WinCVS on Windows client machines. Is there any way to block users from adding or committing certain files or file patterns to our CVS repository? Many of our users accidentally commit Windows Thumbs.db files into CVS. I added Thumbs.db to my cvswrappers file but it's not working and users still manage to check them in; I think because cvswrappers only gets used when users use the import command.
<br>
<br>I'm reading about the commitinfo file but there aren't ample examples except some vague references in the file using default or all or REGULAR_EXPRESSION [tab] PROGRAM_TO_RUN, whatever that means.
<br>
<br>Rhethorical and not CVS related: How come program Developers always lack the communication skills as to how to relate to the common masses and speak or write at our level of comprehension? If they provided ample examples, most of us wouldn't be asking however dumb or smart questions! Every computer book or manual I read, contains tons and tons of useless information as how to pass options or parameters to a command or they talk vague generalities but none of them provide specific examples applying specifically to the topic at hand!! Unix/Linux being the worst case in example by far. It's like bunch of automatons from another planet wrote and created the commands and utilities. The --help section of Linux commands are pretty much useless w/o examples. End of Rant. Sorry I just get frustrated when I can't find good examples.
<br>
<br>Thanks

<br><br>I need some help.
<br><br>Recently I have migrated a CVS from an ancient Sun E450 running Solaris
<br>8 to Linux (debian lenny) running in a VI3 Virtual Machine.
<br><br>I have to admit that I am not a cvs-expert at all, I just inheritted the
<br>system from a former colleague.
<br><br>I tried the cvs from the distro first, but as we are stuck with an old
<br>version of an app-server as well as with an old Development Environment
<br>I had to downgrade to 1.11.5 build from source.
<br><br>Run's fine except with one strange effect:
<br><br>When the developers are using the automatic build environment (AFAIK
<br>cruisecontrol) the build failes during the checkout (which is compared
<br>with the normal usage a mass checkout as the whole project is transfered).
<br><br>The failure is not predictable and occurance is irregular.
<br><br>Desperate for some more logging I fired up strace which put a lot of
<br>load on the machine and now comes the funny part: The build process
<br>completed successfully. Stopped strace, build failure, fired strace up
<br>again, build runs fine.
<br><br>To refine this a bit more a have reduced the Ressources the VM is
<br>allowed to use to almost nothing (CPU Limit at 333MHz) and reniced the
<br>inetd and therefore the spawned cvs processes with the lowest prio possible.
<br><br>Now the build runs fine even without the strace.
<br><br>Although I am glad that this is working again I am not really happy with
<br>the workaround.
<br><br>Could somebody please confirm that this is sort of predictable behaviour
<br>with this version (1.11.5). Is there any other fix except upgrading? (I
<br>would love to upgrade, but I cant - see above).
<br><br>Thanks in advance
<br><br>Hendrik

<br><br>>
<br>> Oops. Should have hit 'reply' not 'reply to author' I don't see my
<br>> latest post in the group. Can you copy my stuff in your reply Art?
<br><br>Sure - best to hit 'reply all'.
<br><div class='shrinkable-quote'><br>> Thanks all for the responses. I see now I should have been more clear
<br>> in my original post. My application is written in Matlab. My users are
<br>> all using MS Windows. The users of my application get a .zip file
<br>> that is a folder structure with of about 500 files in various
<br>> subfolders. So, when I give my application to a user, I'm giving them
<br>> a .zip file that contains these files in their respective folders.
<br>> They unzip it, open Matlab, add these folders to their Matlab path and
<br>> they're up and running. Matlab is interpreter based, no compilation on
<br>> my part, no install application, etc. My release is simply a copy of
<br>> my source code that sits on the client's machine.
<br>>
<br>> Sometimes, we'd like to just give them a 'patch .zip file' that they
<br>> could unzip over their original folder structure that's on their
<br>> machine. This 'patch .zip' file is not a complete copy of the code.
<br>> It's only the changes since the last release. If the user unzips this
<br>> patch over their original copy of the code, it replaces changed files,
<br>> add new subfolders and possibly new files. Let's say their first
<br>> installation was the code at tag 'a'. Let's further say I just made a
<br>> bunch of changes and just tagged it all as tag 'b'. Now, I'd like to
<br>> make a .zip file to send my users (they're users. they don't have CVS)
<br>> that contains only the changed files, added files and possibly added
<br>> folders between tag 'a' and tag 'b'.
</div><br>I personally do not think that ZIP is very good for this, you will need
<br>to rely on your customers unzipping myappv1.zip, myappv1apatch.zip and
<br>myappv1bpatch.zip in the correct order - and deal with the support
<br>e-mails from customers who unzip them in the wrong order. If you switch
<br>to MSI and MSP files then the windows installer subsystem included by

You have introduced new subfolder structure under an existing project, it's easier to use the import command which combines both add and commit into one step but your new subfolder structure cannot contain existing files, if it does, you have to do add and commit subsequently.

<br><br>
<br><br>After you set up the server and sort out your access permissions, then you need to go to your client machine and import or upload (by running the import command) your project into cvs under version control. Once the import command is successful, cvs automatically careates the *,v rcs files and now is aware of the modules. And then you need to move your local non-versioned folder on your client machine out of the way so WinCvs is not obstructed by it. And finally use cvs client(wincvs) to check out the new module.

<br><br>If you're trying to check out an empty module, you must not use the -P
<br>flag to checkout since that will delete the empty directory. Since
<br>you're using WinCVS, you need to go to the Globals tab in the checkout
<br>window and uncheck "Prune empty directories".
