CVS and cygwin1.dll v1.3.4-4: Can not set CVSROOT to :local: repository now ?! ...

[Alexei Lioubimov]

Hello,
since i have upgraded to the "new" version of cygwin1.dll (which doesn't
support `//c/...' notation any more) i have problem with CVS:
i can not keep my local repository in it's common location
`c:\usr\local\CVS'. Before that the line `export
CVSROOT=:local://c/usr/local/cvs'
in my .bash_profile worked fine. But now i get the error messages from the
CVS program:

$ export CVSROOT=:local://c/usr/local/cvs
$ cvs co some_module
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT //c/usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT: No such host or
network path

or

$export CVSROOT=':local:c:\usr/local/cvs'
cvs co some_module
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT c:\usr/local/cvs must be an absolute
pathname

or

$export CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs
cvs co some_module
' is missing '='ntax error in /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs/config: line '

For some reasons i don't want to move the repository under cygwin's root
(for example to c:\cygwin\usr\local\cvs).
Can anybody suggest the workaround?

Thank you
Alexei Lioubimov,
senior scientist

Could you export CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs and use that
instead?

Everything is commented out in my .../cvs/config (it's the default 'cause i
didn't change anything)
Any other ideas?

I just tried it for my self. I created a folder C:\usr\local\cvsroot using
Windows explorer and then from within Bash I did the following:

Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ export
CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvsroot 
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cvs init
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cd bin
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cvs import test me start  
Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cd /tmp     
Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cvs checkout test 
cvs checkout: Updating test
U test/backup.pl
U test/backup.sh
U test/fixperms.sh
Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cd test

Final silly question, if your sandbox was previously pointing to your
repository at //c/usr/local/cvs have you edited your CVS/Root files to point
them at the new repository at /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs?

You could try recreating your CVS repository, maybe move what you currently
have out of the way, do the CVS init stuff and then move your repository
(but not CVSROOT directory) back.

Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

What happens if you issue "cd /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs" on the bash
command line ?

Do you try to run the cvs command from bash prompt (cygwin environment)
or from cmd.exe / command.com prompt ?

Of course i run cvs from the bash prompt and can get to the repository
directory by cd /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs
(see answers below)
