CVS rcsinfo problem [message #258089] Sat, 03 July 2004 09:47 Go to next message

I'm trying to get Eclipse to display a CVS rcsinfo template when a user
commits a code change.

When committing files using the command line on the remote server, the
rcstemplate is presented to the user but not through Eclipse, so I know
that the CVS side of things is set up correctly (at least for
command-line access :-)).

My rcsinfo file reads:

DEFAULT /cvs/CVSROOT/rcstemplate

My checkoutlist file reads:

/cvs/CVSROOT/rcstemplate cannot find rcstemplate

My rcstemplate file reads:

BugId:

I'm using CVS 1.11.2 under Redhat Linux 9 and and have tried this both
under Eclipse 2.1.2 and Eclipse 3.0 (GTK version) under Fedora 2 Linux
connecting via EXTSSH2. According to the Eclipse CVS FAQ, version
1.11.2 of CVS is compatible with Eclipse (I am aware that it is somewhat
outdated now).

I've successfully got verifymsg scripts to run, so it looks like I am
doing something slightly wrong here, especially as I've checked the
Eclipse FAQs, the newsgroups and the Bugzilla database and any problems
with rcsinfo have apparently been fixed.

I've been careful to disconnect the repository after having updated the
rcsinfo and associated files and to create new projects to test the
effect of the rcsinfo file.

Can anyone please tell me what it is I'm doing wrong (and hopefully that
I'm not too far off the mark :-)).

Regards

Hi All,

I now realise what the problem was. After creating a new project and
checking it into CVS, it is necessary to do a File --> Import -->
Checkout Projects from CVS to checkout the project from CVS and have it
inherit the properties of the rcstemplate file. This does make sense
when I think about it.

I find that behaviour a little counter-intuitive as I think checkouts
for CVS projects should be in the Team menu.

Also, I don't know why the rcstemplate isn't applied the first time a
new project is checked in (but this could well be a CVS thing). This
actually suits my purposes really though!

Regards

Douglas Roth
