Hi all.
I've managed to crash the CVSNT 2.0.51a server running on a
Windows XP machine by trying to do an import with the global -n
option turned on.
I have the crash dump files for those crashes so if anyone needs
them - just holler.
Also, since I've installed CVSNT 2.0.51a I have been unable to
do an update using the import command, but I've now seen
someone else's recent post about that same problem and that a
patch for this will come out soon. Till then, it's back to 2.0.38 for
me.
More detailed notes on all of this in a copy-pasted text at the
end of this post.
HTH,
Jurko

to produce a crash dump?'
Asked to mail the crashdump to 'cvsnt-crashdumps at cvsnt.org'.)
-----------------------------
Actions leading to the crash:
-----------------------------
SuperJamJurLib is a module defined in the CVSROOT/modules file on the
server.
Already imported before with version 2.0 and now I was trying to import a
new
version but tried it the following way:
* Checked out the previously imported sources.
* Modified the sources to match the new version (no file's added or
removed).
* Tried to import from that same folder.

(With the same message box as before.)
-----------------------------
Actions leading to the crash:
-----------------------------
Similar to the first crash but this time did it from a folder that was
just a
clean export of the new release - thus the CVS folders do not seem to be the
cause for this crash.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional notes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Used CVSNT version 2.0.51a.
The crash did not occur when I did not specify the -n global option.
Also the SuperJamJurLib string was interpreted as a regular folder, and
was
not expanded as defined in the CVSROOT/modules configuration file.
When I specified the full path instead of SuperJamJurLib:
cvs -d ":sspi:localhost:/Jurko" import -m "Testing"
"Projects/_Programming_/SuperJam/Source/JurLib" Jurko TestingTag
and did it from a cleanly exported folder I just get message
'*** ERRORS DURING THIS IMPORT ***'
and nothing gets imported - no changes are made to the repository.
The sources in the CVS repository have not been modified since the
original
import.
No matter what I tried I did not manage to update the repository using the
import command. Also failed with a completely new test file that I imported
- the original import works as expected but the update seems to be ignored.
Rebooting after the crash also did not help.
Everything works ok with CVSNT 2.0.38.
