* older version of cvs in Cygwin?

[..] This seems to be an older version of cvs, and SourceForge's cvs server won't always interoperate with it to do e.g. the cvs remove command. Choices to install are 1.11.23-2 and the older 1.11.22-1. Later versions of cvs don't have this problem. Oddly, the later versions of cvs I have access to on other systems have a later version number but an earlier copyright year... 2005 vs 2006.

May be you need to define CVS_RSH=ssh ?

CVS has both a "stable" and a "feature" branch. Stable release 1.11.23 is the most recent, but feature release 1.12.13, while about 3 years older, has several features that never made it into 'stable'. Cygwin-32bit used to have the latter, but it was, well, 'side-graded' to the former because of a problem discussed in the above-mentioned email thread. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
