Low-priority bugs go here. We don't have many yet -- everything is high-priority at the moment. :-) * From: Jeff Johnson To: cyclic-cvs@cyclic.com Subject: Named_Root assumes . on server Date: Wed, 17 May 1995 11:04:53 -0400 (EDT) Problem: On server, Name_Root() attempts (aggressively) to set CVSADM_Root. If ~/CVS/Root exists (wrto rsh login), then CVSADM_Root will be initialized from that file. The sanity check between the root repository and the invocation will fail if the two values are not coincidentally the same. Workaround: There's a zillion ways to fix this bugture/featurelet. My current workaround is to remove ~/CVS/Root on the server. I shall attempt a better fix as soon as I can determine what appears politically correct. IMHO, the CVS/Root stuff (and getenv("CVSROOT") also) is a bit fragile and tedious in an rcmd() driven CCVS environment. * (Jeff Johnson ) I tried a "cvs status -v" and received the following: ? CVS ? programs/CVS ? tests/CVS cvs server: Examining . =================================================================== File: Install.dec Status: Up-to-date ... I claim that CVS dirs should be ignored. * I sometimes get this message: Could not look up address for your host. Permission denied. cvs [update aborted]: premature end of file from server The client's response should be cleaned up. * In the gb-grep module, update-ChangeLog (and therefore, I assume, rcs2log) truncates file names --- I get entries for things called ring/lenstring.h instead of lenstring/lenstring.h. * On remote checkout, files don't have the right time/date stamps in the CVS/Entries files. Doesn't look like the C/S protocol has any way to send this information along (according to cvsclient.texi). Perhaps we can spiff it up a bit by using the conflict field for the stamp on the checkout/update command. Please note that this really doesn't do very much for us even if we get it done. * Does the function that lists the available modules in the repository belong under the "checkout" function? Perhaps it is more logically grouped with the "history" function or we should create a new "info" function?
