Support Requests item #674576, was opened at 2003-01-25 09:30 You can respond by visiting: Category: Project CVS Services >Group: Second Level Support Status: Open >Priority: 3 Submitted By: manu b (manubee) >Assigned to: Jacob Moorman (moorman) >Summary: CVS repository clean-up: visual-mingw Initial Comment: Hi, I'm sorry to request your assistance again, but I still have some troubles with my repository, due to an issue with cvs. I'll try to summarize what happened and I hope that info will prevent others to fall in the same trap. My project is visual-mingw. 1. So, I tried to rename three files in my repository, to conform with GNU standards: lib/makefile src/makefile winui/src/makefile into lib/Makefile src/Makefile winui/src/Makefile 2. According to the manual, I attempted to "cvs remove lib/makefile src/makefile && cvs commit", "cvs add lib/Makefile src/Makefile && cvs commit", but I received the following: cvs: hash.c:312: findnode: Assertion `key != ((void *)0)' failed. cvs [server aborted]: received abort signal In fact, cvs cannot perform that under case insensitive systems, because removed files still resides in the Attic. I had to "cvs remove" the "not-yet committed" */Makefile, in order to commit again. 3. After that I noted that "cvs update" reported: nothing known about lib/Makefile nothing know about src/Makefile Original files were still in the repository, new ones weren't, but were assumed to be in place. Note that I didn't change winui/src/makefile. All goes fine for that one. 4. I reported that issue to bug-cvs@gnu.org , logically they adviced me to manually remove or rename files inside the repository. So the three files were removed. (Thanks BTW :) 5. Obviously, I had no troubles to commit winui/src/Makefile, but cvs update still complains about unknown lib/Makefile, src/Makefile, I still receive an assertion failed if I try to commit these. I think something wrong occurred with my repository, when I performed step (2). I don't know what could fix that. In case a manual rename could work, I committed brand new lib/Makefile.mingw and src/Makefile.mingw. Thanks for your patience, Manu. --- Lesson one: _DO_NOT_CHANGE_FILENAME_CASE_UNDER_CASE_INSE NSITIVE_SYSTEMS_ :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Burley (burley) Date: 2003-01-25 14:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=597273 Greetings, This canned response is used by the SourceForge.net team to convey information about how this Support Request will be handled.
