Arthur,
Thanks a lot for your help. Well I orginally was
working with the same zip file that you sent, so the
rcs distribution files definitely were not the
problem. Thanks to Mathew who sent me a RCS file which
was getting "rlogged" i discovered what the problem
was.
Any RCS file has an entry similar to this for each
revision of the file
date 2000.03.10.12.32.30;author arvind;state Exp;
If the name of the author is a numerical value for
instance the employee number of an organization, rlog
seems to fail. So the same line if changed as shown
below seems to fail.
date 2000.03.10.12.32.30;author 1000;state Exp;
After making the above change rlog has been working
perfectly fine, BUT i seriously feel that this is an
issue and definitely needs to be fixed.
I am now able to view the revisions and sort the
revisions of the file but when I click on the revision
number to view the file I get the following error.
Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout
aborted]: EOF in value in RCS file
c:\cvs\ExerciseRoot\exercise\100027\src/main.c,v
Check whether the directory
c:/cvs/ExerciseRoot/CVSROOT exists and the script has
write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.
The script needs to place lock files in the directory
the file is in as well.
cvs -dc:/cvs/ExerciseRoot co -p -r1.3
"exercise/100027/src/main.c"
I am trying to work on the following problem now. If
you have any suggestions do let me know.
Thanks a lot Mathew for the help. Without that file I
guess I would have never figured it out :)
regards
Arvind
