plus a couple of minor changes.. Some highlights of the new stuff that was not in the old version: - remote access support.. full checkout/commit/log/etc.. - much improved dead file support.. - speed improvements - better $CVSROOT handling - $Name$ support - support for a "cvsadmin" group to cut down rampant use of "cvs admin -o" - safer setuid/setgid support - many bugs fixed.. :-) - probably some new ones.. :-( - more that I cannot remember offhand..

Low-priority bugs go here. We don't have many yet -- everything is

high-priority at the moment. :-)

Subject: Named_Root assumes . on server
|
|
Date: Wed, 17 May 1995 11:04:53 -0400 (EDT)
|
|
|
|
Problem:
|
|
On server, Name_Root() attempts (aggressively) to set CVSADM_Root.
|
|
If ~/CVS/Root exists (wrto rsh login), then CVSADM_Root will be
|
|
initialized from that file. The sanity check between the root
|
|
repository and the invocation will fail if the two values are not
|
|
coincidentally the same.
|
|
|
|
Workaround:
|
|
There's a zillion ways to fix this bugture/featurelet. My current
|
|
workaround is to remove ~/CVS/Root on the server. I shall attempt
|
|
a better fix as soon as I can determine what appears politically
|
|
correct. IMHO, the CVS/Root stuff (and getenv("CVSROOT") also) is
|
|
a bit fragile and tedious in an rcmd() driven CCVS environment.

I tried a "cvs status -v" and received the following:
|
|
|
|
? CVS
|
|
? programs/CVS
|
|
? tests/CVS
|
|
cvs server: Examining .
|

File: Install.dec Status: Up-to-date

...
|
|
|
|
I claim that CVS dirs should be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* I sometimes get this message:
|
|
|
|
Could not look up address for your host. Permission denied.
|
|
cvs [update aborted]: premature end of file from server
|
|
|
|
The client's response should be cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
* In the gb-grep module, update-ChangeLog (and therefore, I assume,
|
|
rcs2log) truncates file names --- I get entries for things called
|
|
ring/lenstring.h instead of lenstring/lenstring.h.
|
|
|
|
* On remote checkout, files don't have the right time/date stamps in
|
|
the CVS/Entries files. Doesn't look like the C/S protocol has any
|
|
way to send this information along (according to cvsclient.texi).
|
|
Perhaps we can spiff it up a bit by using the conflict field for the
|
|
stamp on the checkout/update command. Please note that this really
|
|
doesn't do very much for us even if we get it done.
|
|
|
|
* Does the function that lists the available modules in the repository
|
|
belong under the "checkout" function? Perhaps it is more logically
|
|
grouped with the "history" function or we should create a new "info"
|
|
function?
