I'm not sure, but I might have (at least) a clue for you...
Hi
I've tried 4 or 5 different Windows command-line versions of cvs.exe from
(1.10.5 to 1.11.20). Created a folder called cvs directly under C:\,
pointed the path stmt to it. Created Home=C: and CVSROO envrionment
variables, etc and successfully logged in to our linux repository where CVS
is kept.
Note that you say "created a folder called cvs directly under C:\"...
If I check out any of our CVS modules or projects from the main respository
to any subfolder of my drive C: everything goes smoothly. However none of
the versions of CVS I tried allow me to directly check out a project to the
root. So when at the dos prompt and I type
C:\>cvs co -P newproj
I get these bizzare errors:
cvs checkout: in directory .:
cvs [checkout aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing
I think cvs treats the 'cvs' dir found as its own administrative dir. It
then fails because it expects CVS/Repository and CVS/Root to exist, which
obviously don't. Remember that windows' filesystem is case insensitive...
I'm not exactly sure of this, though: I fail to reproduce this on my machine
(though it is linux, not windows):
address@hidden:~/work> mkdir CVS
address@hidden:~/work> cvs up
cvs update: in directory `.':
cvs update: CVS directory found without administrative files.
cvs update: Use CVS to create the CVS directory, or rename the
cvs update: directory if it is intended to store something
cvs update: besides CVS administrative files.
cvs [update aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing!
address@hidden:~/work> cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.11 (client/server)
[...]
but checkouts do succeed:
address@hidden:~/work> cvs co -P in4073
cvs checkout: Updating in4073
[...]
P.s. I meant to say WinXP desktop and Win2003 netwrk servers and
repositories being on Linux servers. Thanks again
Steven
Hope this helps,
Arno
