CVS 1.11: (reposted many times!) Will anybody answer me about "cvs co -r" bug under cygwin, finally???

[Alexei Lioubimov]

So,
Is it very difficult to give just a short answer?
Help, please! --
I'm trying to get the solution and sent this questions to cygwin list and to
cvs
list already twice -- but the result is poor -- i got no concrete answer!

But,
I CAN NOT USE ONE OF THE MAIN DEVELOPMENT TOOLS -- CVS,
because "cvs co -r <tag>" is not working under Cygwin!!!

I tried a  "cvs co -r mytag myproj" and receive the following:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/mypoj/Attic: Not a
directory

Is it impossible to checkout a tag or revision if module doesn't
contain Attics?

Berating volunteers is probably not going to help your cause.  If someone
had an answer, I'm sure they would have responded to you.  We're not trying
to be mean or anything (well most of us ;-)).

cvs co -r <tag> works fine for me without Attics.  I don't know what else to
say.

cheers,

Alexei,

Beyond the uncalled-for shouting and the demanding tone, there's a paucity 
of information in your cry for help.

Please give is more details about your configuration: Cygcheck, the 
contents of any ".cvsrc" files. Likewise, please say more about what 
specifically you're attempting. Show us your CVSROOT (since you don't show 
a "-d" option). As it is, we don't know if you're using a remove (pserver) 
or local (file system) repository. The output of "type -a cvs" wouldn't 
hurt, since experience shows that people can have multiple installations of 
certain tools, and you could be invoking a non-Cygwin version of the "cvs" 
command.

Etc...

Details! We need more details!

Assuming that the CVS client is running under cygwin, you do not say if the
CVS server is also running under cygwin or the method you are using to
connect to the CVS server.

No, it is not impossible.  I do it all the time.  I don't know what your 
problem is -- and I didn't want to pollute the mailing list with "it 
works for me".  Apparently, it works for EVERYONE but you(*), because 
nobody has responded.

(*) this implies a problem with your computers' setup and/or configuration

Lack of response sometimes means no-one has an answer for you.  It 
appears that is the case here.  Sorry.  It is entirely possible you may 
have to (GASP) debug this problem yourself.  You can download the cygwin 
versions of the source code to gdbm and cvs using setup.exe, and then 
follow the directions to rebuild those packages -- but set CFLAGS="-g" 
first, in order to build a debuggable version.

You may even need to build a debuggable version of the cygwin kernel 
(search the mailing list archives for instructions).

Use gdb, and figure out WHY cvs is trying to access Attic, when there is 
no Attic in the project.  That's your first step -- and unfortunately, 
since nobody else seems to be experiencing the problem, nobody else will 
be able to debug it for you.  Including me.

--Chuck
gdbm, cvs maintainer

P.S. I debated whether to send this message at all -- unofficial mailing 
list "policy" seems to be that reposted messages are downgraded, not 
upgraded, in priority.  (IOW, "Why the hell haven't you evil bastards 
answered my question yet" doesn't endear the poster to those with the 
desired information.)  However, you do not seem to understand that -- 
and I've noticed a trend lately in "Answer me dammit" messages on the 
list so I thought a little explanation about why messages sometimes go 
unanswered was justified.

See:
   http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html -- section entitled: "Posting 
Guidelines (Or: Why won't you/the mailing list answer my questions?)"

Indeed.  But what I don't understand is that I thought Alexei asked the
question very well here

	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00172.html

and got a very useful answer here

	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00177.html

and you can see the resulting checkin here

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/dir.cc.diff?r1=1.54&r2=1.55&cvsroot=src&f=h

Maybe Alexei just needs to subscribe to the list or remember to read
responses to his messages in the web archives?

Hmmm...perhaps ESR's Smart Questions document should also state:
   "Do not assume that respondents to your question on a mailing list 
will send the replies directly to you.  Be sure to check the mailing 
list itself -- or the archives if you are not subscribed to it -- for 
replies to your question.

(Hmm...seems like I had another suggestion for ESR that I was supposed 
to forward to him...must dig thru old email...)

Re: CVS 1.11: More info about my problem (i'm sorry about the demanding tone...)

[Alexei Lioubimov]

I'm so sorry about the demanding tone of my "cry for help", but i'm really
very upset and confused.

Here are the details of the problem:

1) The task:
    -------------
i want to checkout a tagged snapshot of myproject, so
i try a  "cvs co -r mytag myproj" and receive the following:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/mypoj/Attic: Not a
directory

2) cygwin1.dll: 1.3.6-cygwin-1-3-6-6 (APIVersion: 0.47,
BuildDate: 2001-12-08 17:02);

3) $ echo $CVSROOT

:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/CVS

4) There are no ".cvsrc" files;

5)  $ type -a cvs

cvs is /usr/bin/cvs
cvs is /bin/cvs

6) $ cvs --version

Concurrent Versions System  (CVS) 1.11 (client/server)
...

7) $ cygcheck cvs

Re: CVS 1.11: (reposted many times!) Will anybody answer me about "cvs co -r" bug under cygwin, finally???

[Alexei Lioubimov]

Of course i've read every response for my message,
but none of them are useful at the moment, because
i was not asking about cygwin's internals, but about
the workaround for "cvs co -r" command itself (that
doesn't work without Attic directory presence)

Re: CVS 1.11: More info about my problem (i'm sorry about the demanding tone...)

[Randall R Schulz]

Alexei,

Two things:

1) What's in your CYGWIN environment variable.

2) Did you copy and paste that diagnostic, or re-type it manually into the 
message? Assuming the former, did you notice that it refers to "mypoj" not 
"myproj"? Perhaps there's some corruption in you CVS repository in the form 
of that error in a file or directory name.

Otherwise, I can see nothing obvious amiss.

Perhaps someone else with a sharper eye or more subtle insights will notice 
something.

CYGWIN is empty:

I typed it manually and it is misspelled in my message, it should be
...
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/myproj/Attic: Not a
directory
...

I'm using cygwin on two different boxes (at home and at work) and on
both have the same thing: "cvs co -r" wants Attic directory exist in the
repository module. Only if i manually create Attic in the repository module
(just cd .../CVS/myproj and mkdir Attic) then "cvs co -r mytag myproj"
works right. The same happens with all my local projects, even with
newly created dummy project for testing this exact situation.

Best regards,
Alexei

Perhaps because after nearly 100 million years, Kollar, E. J. and Fisher
were able in 1980 to grw some? see http://zygote.swarthmore.edu/prox1.html
for description and even of photography of it... :-)

 You are using:
2) cygwin1.dll: 1.3.6-cygwin-1-3-6-6 (APIVersion: 0.47,
BuildDate: 2001-12-08 17:02);

 Although you may not have been asking about cygwin's internals, the answer,
as has been pointed out to you before, involves cygwin's internals.  Chris
Faylor mentioned on 4-Jan-2002 that he thinks he has fixed your problem.
You need to download a snapshot from some time after that date.  Please do
that and tell us if it works.

Of course i've read every response for my message,
but none of them are useful at the moment, because
i was not asking about cygwin's internals, but about
the workaround for "cvs co -r" command itself (that
doesn't work without Attic directory presence)
