Let me clarify (Invalidate all sandboxes on client PCs) If your old repository location is something like d:/cvsrepos and your new repository is something like d:/repository/cvsrepos then this would invalidate your client sandboxes. However if the name of the repository does not change that clients are configured to use then you will be OK. Example 1 (This will cause an invalid repository location): Cvs -d :sspi:@servername:/cvsrepos checkout MyModule Server Directory is: D:\CVSRepos\MyModule Cvs -d :sspi:@servername:/Repository/cvsrepos checkout MyModule Server Directory is: D:\Repository\CVSRepos\MyModule Example 2 (This will NOT cause an invalid repository location): For example @2 to work you must setup an alias on the server. Cvs -d :sspi:@servername:/cvsrepos checkout MyModule Server Directory is: D:\CVSRepos\MyModule Cvs -d :sspi:@servername:/cvsrepos checkout MyModule Server Directory is: D:\Repository\CVSRepos\MyModule -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of NELSON Jeff Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:33 AM To: Aaron Kynaston; cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook; zou.min at renesas.com Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Migrating CVS repository directory Yes, you can do this, however you will invalidate all sandboxes that are on client PCs. To get around this follow this procedure. First you need to have all updated local sandboxes commit any outstanding changes. Then on the server you can move the directory to the new location and then use the CVSNT control panel applet to update the directory mapping. Then recreate each of the sandboxes using the new repository location. -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Aaron Kynaston Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:26 AM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook; zou.min at renesas.com Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Migrating CVS repository directory I don't know the server side of things very well, but all sandboxes with code from that repository will need to be updated. Whenever I do something simliar, I check in and delete all of the sandboxes (to ensure that all the code is in the repository. Then, move the repository and re-checkout. I think as long as your CVSROOT's specified go to the correct repositories you shoudn't have any issue. Whats your goal with multiple repositorys? >>> Min ZOU <zou.min at renesas.com> 5/24/2005 7:28:16 AM >>> Hi, Currently I have a single repository at "c:\cvsrepo" directory with several modules, because I didn't anticipate that I would like to have multiple repositories one day. Now problem arises, I want to create multiple repositories under a central directory "c:\repositories", so my current repository would be at "c:\repositories\cvsrepo". What's the easiest way to achieve this? Can I just move the entire directory "cvsrepo" into the newly created "c:\repositories" directory, and then re-configure the directory mapping in CVSNT control panel?
