Re: cvswrapper with client/server

[Ludwig Öfele]

Hello Derek!

Finally I found time (and brain) to upgrade cvs. My configuration is now
WinCVS 1.0.6 and cvs 1.11(client/server) under Linux 2.0.36
But it still doesn't work. I found some new thing, which I want to
explain now:

First I quote a few parts of my CVSROOT/modules file:

 ...
 vc             -i /usr/local/bin/vc vc
 ...
 versioncounter -i /usr/local/bin/vc &vc
 ...

As you see I can checkout files as module vc or versioncounter and get
the same files.
I get this messages if I work locally (not client/server), when I
commit:

if I am using vc:
 SourceServer:[CVS] >cvs commit -m"nice try" vc
 cvs commit: Examining vc
 Checking in vc/VersionCounter.ver;
 /home/developer/repository/vc/VersionCounter.ver,v  <-- 
VersionCounter.ver
 new revision: 1.18; previous revision: 1.17
 done
 cvs commit: Executing ''/usr/local/bin/vc'
'/home/developer/repository/vc''


if I am using versioncounter:
 SourceServer:[CVS] >cvs commit -m"nice try" versioncounter
 cvs commit: Examining versioncounter
 cvs commit: Examining versioncounter/vc
 Checking in versioncounter/vc/VersionCounter.ver;
 /home/developer/repository/vc/VersionCounter.ver,v  <-- 
VersionCounter.ver
 new revision: 1.19; previous revision: 1.18
 done
 cvs commit: Executing ''/usr/local/bin/vc'
'/home/developer/repository/vc''


As you see in both cases my little function is called just as I want.
But this are the messages, if I use WinCVS:

if I am using vc:
 cvs commit -m "new try with cvswrappers" (in directory C:\cvs\vc\)
 cvs commit: Examining .
 Checking in VersionCounter.ver;
 /home/developer/repository/vc/VersionCounter.ver,v  <-- 
VersionCounter.ver
 new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15
 done
 cvs server: Executing ''/usr/local/bin/vc'
'/home/developer/repository/vc''

 *****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

if I am using versioncounter:
 wincvs(versioncounter)::::::::::::::::::
 cvs commit -m "new try with cvswrappers" (in directory
C:\cvs\versioncounter\)
 cvs commit: Examining .
 cvs commit: Examining vc
 Checking in vc/VersionCounter.ver;
 /home/developer/repository/vc/VersionCounter.ver,v  <-- 
VersionCounter.ver
 new revision: 1.17; previous revision: 1.16
 done

 *****CVS exited normally with code 0*****


It works with vc (using the directory directly), but not with
versioncounter (a composite module). But I need composite modules, since
my real projects consist of several mixed directories (many directories
in several modules).

This is the end of my knowledge. Help is appreciated.
