Any CVS gurus around ? by aix tom 2005-08-04 08:38:38
I have the following setup :

An application installed on a few dozen machines, mixed Windows/Linux/Unix environment, and 3 devellopers who change the script/configuration/report files.

The application accesses these files both from windows and unix processes, the convention is that these files have to have LF as line seperator.

They are stored in the repository that way, and when the devellopers check them out they also edit them in that format.

The only problem is the cases where the application is installed on a windows machine. I'm currently trying to set something up that the installations can be updated on all that machines during the night with a script. But I haven't found a way yet to tell a Windows CVS commandline client to checkout or update the files with LF, without doing the conversion to CRLF.

It is possible to set that option in WinCVS, but there the update can't be called from a script.

Any bright ideas around ? The only thing I came up with was to mount the Windows directories on a Linux box via Samba and run the CVS update there. ;-)
