The <drive>: syntax is a pain. You may be lucky and use ":pserver:user at host://c/data/cvs". But if you have a reasonably recent CVSNT version on the server (I'm on 1.11.1.3), it's a lot simpler to define a "repository prefix" (ie, a directory on your server under which all CVS repositories will be) which is then considered as a virtual "root" directory. For instance, on our server, the repositories are under d:/cvs/repositories (for instance d:/cvs/repositories/sandbox, d:/cvs/repositories/test). The repository prefix is defined as "d:/cvs/repositories" and the CVSROOT variables (on NT, W2K, and our AIX box) say: ":pserver:user at host:/sandbox", avoiding the "<drive>:" problems altogether. Another advantage is that you can move the repositories on the server without having to change the CVSROOT variables all over, you only need to change the repository prefix. On the other hand you have to keep all the repositories on the same disk.. > -----Message d'origine----- > De : thierry.midy at bnpparibas.com [mailto:thierry.midy at bnpparibas.com] > Envoyé : jeudi 14 mars 2002 12:44 > À : cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook > Objet : [Cvsnt] connect from Unix client to a CVSNT server... > > > > is it possible? > > when I try this : > export CVSROOT = pserver:my_user at my_host:c:\data\cvs > > cvs login give me: > cvs login: may only specify a positive, non-zero, integer > port (not "c:"). cvs login: perhaps you entered a relative pathname? > > so what is the solution? > _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
