You can get windows CVS executables from www.cvsnt.org, but since it's been taken over by March Hare, they make you pay for the server. Of course, you can still get the source code, but that's of little use if you don't have a Windows CVS system.

You can also download Cygwin and use its CVS server to host a :pserver: repository although it's got some bugs in at present which prevent it happening right now.

Most Linux distributions have a CVS server that you can obtain, but where from is dependent on your distro.

If you're goint to use Subversion, then there's a plugin called Subclipse that works well with it.

I went to cvsnt.org there is a free download. do you think that would
suffice for my needs? my needs are relatively simple. 4 of us are working
on a java project and we thought something to track the changes and have
the same code would help, it doesnt need "special" stuff, make sure we
have the same code essentaily. so what do you think? thank you very much.

Eclipse has built-in client support, yes. But you still need a CVS server to talk to. Eclipse doesn't handle :local: protocols, which means that you need to run either a CVS server via :pserver: or an SSH server that you can run CVS over.

The free cvsnt.org stuff doesn't include the server. It used to, but March Hare systematically removed the useful stuff so that they make you pay for a server but get the client free. So having two clients doesn't help you in this case :-)

If you've got access to a Linux server, I'd suggest running the CVS server on that, and then your Eclipse clients can connect to that via either :pserver: or :ext:/ssh.

Hi all,

As far as I know CVS on windows via cygwin runs fine, both via pserver and
ext-ssh.

There's a bug in the :pserver: protocol, at least. Cygwin's core libraries started treating 'mkdir /some/dir/' as an error (whereas before it was a warning) and the CVS code appends a / on the end of the temp directory name. You can read about it in the cygwin mailing lists, but that was a few weeks ago and I doubt it's been solved yet.

I'm not sure whether it will also apply to the SSH server implementation as well; given it fell over in the creation of temp directories to hold files, it could be a problem with both.

If you get weird error messages coming back from a cygwin server, bear it in mind. I didn't get any kind of decent error message out from the Eclipse client (other than it didn't work); I only found out by running other command-line clients in more verbose modes.

Google for 'cygwin cvs directory error' if you want to find out more :-)

One can argue that subversion in general is better than CVS, but the
eclipse plugin for subversion (subclipse) really, really sucks when it
comes to changing the package struckture of a Java project. It screwed
up my repository several times when I tried to do a 'rename package'
refactoring. Still, I'd suggest subversion and perform big refactorings
manually (i.e. using an external client).

Few days ago I installed WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org/) and it has
"built-in" CVS server for Windows.
I run it on Windows XP. Team members acccess it like pserver from Eclipse
across local network.

The Subclipse mailing list archives are located here:

http://svn.haxx.se/

Can you please link to the message/thread where you reported this
problem?

Thanks

Dear Mark,

as you quite likely assume, I have not reported this bug. Since I have
encoutnered this problem from the first time I used subclipse to, well,
last week, I didn't bother to post something I thought was well known to
anyone using the plugin. Now if you tell me that this is not the case,
that I, my co-workers and friedns who use subclipse (and in general like
it) are the only ones with package refactoring troubles (and everyone I
know who uses it did have these toubles)... I might just post to that
list after all. Thanks for the hint.

Regards,
M

There are no known fixable bugs in this area. So without you posting a
message that details what you are doing, it is hard to reply to you.
That would be best done in the users@subclipse mailing list.

You have taken the time on this list to tell people that Subclipse is
really, really sucky, please take the time to come over to our list and
tell us why so we can possibly fix it.

The main issues I am aware with in regards to refactoring are
Subversion issues. For example, Subversion will not let you
move/rename something and then do it again without having committed the
first move/rename. This is not a Subclipse bug, we properly report and
handle the error thrown by Subversion. There is no reason this could
not be made to work in Subversion, it is just a matter of them plotting
the right strategy. So if that is your problem you should report the
need to them.

Mark

Hi Mark,

thanks again, now I know I don't have to post to the subclipse list.

Believe it or not---I don't care whether this is a subclipse problem or
a subversion problem. Though I'm very thankful that so many people
contribute to the different open source projects involved here, I'm just
a user of these projects. So if I do something that IMHO should work
(e.g. rename a package), and it does not work, I don't really care what
part of the system is responsible.

Regards,
M

So are you saying that is your problem? That you cannot rename the
same item multiple times without doing a commit first? There have been
patches floating around in Subversion to improve this. None have been
accepted into a release yet. The JavaSVN adapter, which is a choice
within Subclipse, has code that handles it better, but they have not
yet exposed it in the API that Subclipse uses. They have said an
upcoming version will add support in that API too, or in a new one that
Subclipse can access.

I do not really understand why you are acting annoyed or offended, when
you are the one that is throwing stones instead of trying to reach a
constructive solution. If you would prefer to not know why this was
failing, I will just go away.

Thanks

Mark
