    2.10 I am updating from CVS and I get all sorts of errors when I restart +

    + +

    Firstly, whenever you update from CVS, a log is displayed. Next to each +file that is downloaded there is a letter, e.g.:

    +

    +

    +
    +? fred.pl
+? jim
+..
+.
+..
+cvs server: Updating perl
+P cluster.pl
+C Messages
+M Internet.pm
+U DXProt.pm
+..
+.
+..
+
    +
    +

    + +

    For normal CVS use you should only ever see the letter 'P'. This means that the file has +changed in CVS and is more recent than the one that is currenly on your system. You may also +possibly see the letter '?', which means that +there is a file that you (or the system) has created that CVS doesn't know about and isn't +under its control. These are all normal and good.

    + +

    Sometimes you will see the letter 'U' next to a file. This means that it is a new file that you don't currently +have. This is also OK.

    + +

    However, if you see the letter 'C' or 'M', that means that CVS thinks that the file has +changed locally. For the letter 'C', it has changed sufficiently near to one or more +modifications which CVS wants to download to your system. For the 'M', CVS thinks that it +is OK to make the change (you may also see some messages about "merging revision 1.xx with 1.yy"). +Neither of these things are good. Files that are under the control of CVS +must not be changed by sysops. It is the files that have the 'C' next to them that will show +the errors and they will be things like:-

    +

    +

    +
    +Syntax error near '<<<<' at line 23
+Syntax error near '===' at line 40
+Syntax error near '>>>' at line 51
+
    +
    +

    + +

    You will now necessarily see all of the errors shown but you will get one or more sets of some +of them. The cure is simple:

    +

    +

    +

    + +

    You will see that file come back (with a letter 'U' next to it). That will be the correct +file as CVS thinks it should be. If you still have a problem, then get onto the +dxspider-support mailing list.

    + +

    If all else fails (or you have several conflicts) you can safely remove the entire /spider/perl and +/spider/cmd directories and then run the cvs update. They will all be recreated in their pristine +condition.

    + +

    2.11 I have done a CVS update, restarted and it says that "fileX" is missing +

    + +

    The correct way to run cvs is:-

    +

    +

    +
    +cd /spider
+cvs -z3 update -d
+
    +
    +

    + +

    The '-d' is crucial. It makes sure that any new directories that may contain new code +are created and that new code downloaded. I have absolutely no idea why this is not the +default, seeing as CVS (in other circumstances) happily recurses its merry way down a +directory tree, but there you are.

    + +

    WinCVS and other graphical CVS frontends have a checkbox for the update screen called something +like "create sub-directories" (it may be hidden in some sub-screen - go look for it if it isn't +obvious). Make sure that this box is checked. If you can make this the +default setting in the program's setup screen then please do that. It will save you a lot +of pulled hair.

    +For normal CVS use you should only ever see the letter 'P'. This means that the file has +changed in CVS and is more recent than the one that is currenly on your system. You may also +possibly see the letter '?', which means that +there is a file that you (or the system) has created that CVS doesn't know about and isn't +under its control. These are all normal and good. + +

    +Sometimes you will see the letter 'U' next to a file. This means that it is a new file that you don't currently +have. This is also OK. + +

    +However, if you see the letter 'C' or 'M', that means that CVS thinks that the file has +changed locally. For the letter 'C', it has changed sufficiently near to one or more +modifications which CVS wants to download to your system. For the 'M', CVS thinks that it +is OK to make the change (you may also see some messages about "merging revision 1.xx with 1.yy"). +Neither of these things are good. Files that are under the control of CVS +must not be changed by sysops. It is the files that have the 'C' next to them that will show +the errors and they will be things like:- + + +Syntax error near '<<<<' at line 23 +Syntax error near '===' at line 40 +Syntax error near '>>>' at line 51 + + +

    +You will now necessarily see all of the errors shown but you will get one or more sets of some +of them. The cure is simple: + + + identify the file that is causing the problem. + remove the file. + run the cvs update again. + + +

    +You will see that file come back (with a letter 'U' next to it). That will be the correct +file as CVS thinks it should be. If you still have a problem, then get onto the +dxspider-support mailing list. + +

    +If all else fails (or you have several conflicts) you can safely remove the entire /spider/perl and +/spider/cmd directories and then run the cvs update. They will all be recreated in their pristine +condition. + +I have done a CVS update, restarted and it says that "fileX" is missing + +

    +The correct way to run cvs is:- + + +cd /spider +cvs -z3 update -d + + +

    +The '-d' is crucial. It makes sure that any new directories that may contain new code +are created and that new code downloaded.
