Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Problems with export in conjunction with log message templates: msg#00169

version-control.cvs.bugs

Subject: Problems with export in conjunction with log message templates

Hello,

I think I might have found a bug in cvs (currently I
am using the version 1.11).

The problem occurs when I try to make an export
of a module which has one or more subdirectories
and if the file CVSROOT/rcsinfo contains a line
like

"DEFAULT /myRepository/CVSROOT/commit.msg".


In that case an export command like

cvs export -D 2002-04-25 cvs-test

stops with the following error message:

cvs export: Updating cvs-test
U cvs-test/file1
U cvs-test/file2
U cvs-test/file3
cvs [export aborted]: cannot write <CVS/Template file>:
No such file or directory

All the files in the top-level directory gets exported just
fine, but when it comes to enter a subdirectory, it seems
that cvs tries to write the CVS/Template file which will
fail because the CVS admin-directory isn't there (which,
of course, is normal, since I do an export).

If I delete the above mentioned line in CVSROOT/rcsinfo,
the export works pretty smooth, no problems at all.
If I change it to, let's say,

"cvs-test /myRepository/CVSROOT/commit.msg"

then only the module cvs-test can't be exported, all
others will.

Modules without any subdirectories are always being
exported without errors, regardless of the contents
of CVSROOT/rcsinfo.


If I have left out any details that might be of
interest for you, please feel free to contact me.


regards

Michael Cohrs
