You have to do one of two things: 1) Create the webserver files using a regular checkout. This will create the needed metadata files in the CVS subdirs (they are hidden so they won't show in your webserver, I believe). Now you can update using the cvs update command. or 2) Before you do a renewed export you have to delete the whole folder tree. Then you just issue the same cvs export -r HEAD xxxxx command as you used initially. I think that if your webserver holds lots of files it is best to use strategy 1. This will limit things You can check out once using the syntax cvs -d :sspi:user:password at server:/repository co yourmodule Then for all updates you can use a batch file that gets executed and contains the following commands: cd <the top folder of the web module> cvs -d :sspi:user:password at server:/repository up By overriding with the user:password syntax you make sure that no matter which account executes the batch file it will work. Create the user for this with read only permissions on cvs, then it will not be possible to misuse the account for changing the module (committing). /Bo This -----Original Message----- From: Arthur [mailto:maitrarthur at hotmail.com] Sent: den 9 oktober 2003 14:48 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] how to update an export ? HEllo, I would like to update files on a prod computer that come from CVS. On the prod computer, there is a directory that is used to store files of a web server. This directory has been created with a cvs export command from a module from the repository. Now, I would like to update theses files with the changed files from the same module of the same repository. In fact, it is an update of the export. How could I do that ? When I use cvs export twice, it says that files already exists. Thank you.
