This is the initial port of cvs to cygwin's new packaging scheme. If you have problems/questions about CVS itself, or how to install this package -- then you shouldn't be testing this version. :-) Please test if you understand CVS and are adept at using other versions (such as the cygutils version or CVS on other platforms). Pending positive reports from users, this version will go into cygwin/contrib in the near future. The package is now available for testing at ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/private/cygwin-extras-392/ or one of the mirrors. Use a mirror. Use a mirror. Use a mirror. cvs-1.10.8-1.tar.gz cvs-1.10.8-1-src.tar.gz gdbm-1.8.0-1 must be installed. NOTES: o I've had cvs-1.10 on cygutils for some time but it didn't follow the official package layout rules for cygwin. This version is updated to cvs-1.10.8, and is dynamically linked to libgdbm.dll. o Abides by the cygwin package system standard: - cygwin-specific docs in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cvs-1.10.8.README - generic docs in /usr/doc/cvs-1.10.8/* o A cygwin-specific README and PATCH are stored in the source archive, under /CYGWIN-PATCHES/* (although that patch has already been applied to the archive itself). The cygwin-specific README is also installed by the binary distribution as described above. ------- TEST REPORTS --------- You can only run the 'official' tests if you download the source archive (cvs-1.10.8-1-src.tar.gz) and build cvs yourself. However, I'm more interested in reports from users who use this version for 'normal' daily operation. In any case, some notes from my personal tests, running the 'make check' suite of tests. This took several hours to complete. Of the many hundreds of tests, cvs failed only the following: - join-readonly-conflict - modules3 - modules4 - errmsg1 - binfiles3 - rcs3 There were several other subtests that failed with a 'Signal 11' error (!!!) during the mega-test, but re-running those tests individually succeeded. I didn't run the following four tests, because they require a remote repository to which you have write access: - pserver - server - server2 - client To run the tests individually, don't type 'make check'. Instead, cd to /src and type: '/bin/sh ./sanity.sh `pwd`/cvs list-of-tests-to-run' You can find the list of all tests inside sanity.sh starting at line 592. This list of failures may be scary, but it's no worse than the older cygwin port of cvs-1.10. I'd appreciate any reports of success or failure using this version. BTW, cvs-1.10.8 installs into /usr/bin, so if you've got an older version in /usr/local/bin make sure you're using the new version, and that the /usr/local/bin version isn't hiding the new version. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
