Hello, I have an mixed *soft (win2000) and *nix shell - environment. The win - programmers only use a gui, the solaris programmers only use shell, vi ..... I think the best solution is to share a solaris sandbox with a WinCVS Client (or tcvs). One problem with sharing a sandbox via samba is the filetime problem (thank you richard), the another 'problem' is to check the <cr><lf>(dos) and <lf>(*nix) behavior, well described in the tcvs - faq http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.shtml#sharelinux Bo berlund told me >This is an UNSUPPORTED and DISCOURAGED configuration that will not result >in any help whatsoever from the developers or most other people on the >list! Ok, he's rigth, im working with cvsnt on the client pc, with cvs pserver on the *nix machine, it's a mixed environment for my testing. But when i use cvsnt on both (pc and solaris) sides, connection from WinCVS to the repository on solaris via pserver, i think, the filetime and <cr><lf> behavior are the only 'problems'.

Is WinCVS the only tool you want to use on the sandbox? If this is the case try gCvs, a Gtk based frontend which shares most of its source code with WinCVS. Unfortunatly not all the famous features of WinCVS are implemented at the moment... ---- shnipp --- CK> ok, i check these files local in the sandbox on solaris server, the cvs status CK> command tells me *Up-to-date*. CK> when i use the diff command local and with WinCVS, no differences appear. This is because the filetimes of your samba (?) share do not match the time of checkout in CVS/Entries. May be the time zone information for both boxes do not match, or even there is a small difference like you may often see for windows shares. The problem is not solvable by WinCVS. -- Best regards, Richard mailto:r.wirth at wirthware.de
