Hi, I can't find where I can configure the parameters that hudson uses in CVS checkout and update. I have a situation where I modify build properties file locally before I kick off a hudson build. However because the cvs update contains a '-C' it overwrites my local changes. Do you know of a way where I can remove this? Any help mu...

I recently stumbled upon a cool feature in CVS where you can name revisions by date, e.g.: # List changes made between the latest revision 24 hours ago and now cvs diff -D "1 day ago" Do any other repository systems (e.g. Git, SVN, Bazaar, Mercurial, etc.) have an option like this? ...
I'm using drush, which supposedly can be used instead of a cvs program to checkout from the drupal repository. All tutorials I've found don't mention drush, instead they start with cvs. cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:[email protected]:/cvs/drupal checkout -d cms -r DRUPAL-6 drupal How do I change this command so it's compatible ...
I need to set up some kind of read-only CVS repository mirror. The aim is to get snapshots of the project by schedule and store it on a windows box. Could you suggest best way to do it? I don't actually have to use CVS on local. Our team works with Subversion. And if it possible to check out from CVS to SVN it would be even better. Beca...
Hello I am using a custom library which has a lot of files. Now in order to use that library I need to add all the files of that library to the local CVS. So when I cvs update, it shows me all the files that are unavailable on CVS, and this library has a lot of files. So I have to cvs add first to add files to cvs and then commit. Is the...
I have a production CVS repository that is a number of years old and have noticed that it has comma-v files with the same name in both Attic and in the actual directory for a given location. This appears to be an error. My question is how can this occur in the first place and what will CVS do when duplicate files exist. My guess (hope)...

Is there a command that returns a list of module names contained within a CVS repository? Being a newbie to CVS, I imagine that there should be something along the lines of cvs -d /usr/local/cvs listmodules What should I substitute listmodules with to get a list of all modules within the CVS repository? To address Dewfy's comment,...
Firstly, where I work we're forced to use CVS and don't have any other choice. I personally use git. Sometimes I don't always do a cvs update on a module but I'll download the actual file off the production server which is guaranteed to be the latest ( 99% of cases ). I end up doing a cvs commit to find I failed to update so th...
Does anyone know how I can force CVS to not allow users to move tags within CVS? I've seen some documentation about the taginfo file in CVS, but I don't currently understand how to use it. My current objective is to use a filter within the taginfo file to redirect all retags / move tag requests to a script that automatically exits wi...
Hello I installed a CVS server today. I installed cvs server using sudo apt-get install cvsd. Now the folder where everything is stored is /var/lib/cvsd/cvsrepo/test. Folder test contains a dummy text file by the name check.txt, which would prove everything works fine. My CVSROOT on the client machine is ":pserver:username@localhost:/cv...

I have a folder which contains a whitelabel-esque system; theres way over 90,000 files in there. Currently its stored in SVN and we just checkout the sub-folders as required. Would mercurial or another SCM be able to handle having the lot checked out at once without it dying when you try to commit. ...
I use revision control tools to handle ever changing versions of my webpage, LaTeX documents, as well as actual source code, but I don't think I'm doing it right. I used cvs for a while, then git more recently, but I'm not really happy with them, possibly because I'm using them incorrectly. I'd like some advice on how to use them corre...
Is there a way to monitor a CVS repository for any commits? Then on a commit, to download all the files within the changeset, along with their respective paths within the repository? The reason is, I want to set up continuous integration between a CVS repository and a development server, which can only be accessed via FTP. Before uplo...
