The script files I use are simple Windows batch files. Any given software product setup compilation starts with executing the bootstrap batch file, which exports the main batch file and executes it. The main batch file needs to export all the needed files and it must be maintained in sync with the ISS file for InnoSetup. Both the batch files use cvs export for their work. I can think of a number of tricks to fix this problem, but the simplest is actually not to upgrade beyond 1.11.3b72 on our workstations until the -N fix is in CVSNT. Then all of us will upgrade to 2.0.5 (or whatever the version will become) and all will work without changing the scripts. In my case what I had to do was shut down my local CVSNT server on my laptop and then rename the CVSNT folder, create a new CVSNT folder and drop the files from 1.11.1b72 into this. It is alreaduý on Path so I'm done for the moment. Most developers use WinCvs but that installation does not put anything on the path so they can get an update for just the command to work properly and it won't affect WinCvs either. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: Mitch Davis [mailto:Mitch.Davis at EXTEL.COM.AU] Sent: den 25 juni 2003 15:40 To: Bo Berglund; cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Export doesnt work properly anymore (2.0.4) > From: Bo Berglund [mailto:Bo.Berglund at system3r.se] > > I think we have upwards of 20-40 different script files that > make use of the -N flag. > Editing these will not be a simple task... > The idea is that all you need on a workstation to make a > setup is cvs and the bootstrap scriptfile.

As a temporary workaround, can your script check the version of CVS, and use "sed" to patch itself according to which version of cvs export will work properly? It's quite easy to convert "cvs export -r HEAD -d WSMDB -N Redist/MSDE2000" to "cvs export -r HEAD -d WSMDB/Redist Redist/MSDE2000" using sed. If I knew more about how the two lines relate to each other, I can tell you the sed expression.
