Hi Jörg,

What exactly is your problem?  I've been using the cvs from the CD V1.0 just
fine with mounts in binary mode.

Here is where you might get into problems:

You have a source package that you use WinZip to extract and you have the auto
cr/lf turned on.  You then import that package into cvs.  Cvs now has the \r\n
line endings stored.  You make changes, which change some of the source to \n
line endings.  When you do cvs commit, the delta becomes the entire file
because every line in the file changed.

Is this your problem?

1. About LF to CR/LF 
I don't know 8-(

2. About Source Code Control
Yes and no. Yes, there is one such project. No, there is no working
code.

Still reading "Open Source Management with CVS", I may try it *after* chapter 4 (administration). Since there is a cygwin port of CVS, I hoped somebody has already figured out the consequences of binmode for CVS ...

Um.  It is not "still ignored" as much as "nobody knows the answer".

Rather than pose a question and patiently wait for an answer why not just
download the software and figure out the answer for yourself?

Then you can post your triumphant findings here to all of the other people
who feel slighted.

CVS and binmode

[jorg.schaible]

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]

Hello,

I try to switch from M$ $$ to CVS. I already have the port of Chuck Wilson for Cygwin v1.1 from the franken.de server. The CVS manual states that CVS is so smart to convert automatically LF to CR/LF for DOS based systems. What does Cygwin/CVS ? Will it recognize the binmode of a mounted working directory/drive ?

Offtopic question (at least for Cygwin):
Where do I have to look for additional CVS resources? I am interested in scripts converting the MS SourceSafe into CVS repository. Are there any Source-Control-Plug-In's available that support that interface for Source Ontrol Systems used by several applications (MS VStudio, Rational, Together J?C++, etc.)? Will they cooperate with a Cygwin based CVS?

Regards
Jörg
