Hi all,
Apologies if this appears in the list more than once: email problems...
I'm having a problem with tags when I try and access them through an
alias. If I create the tag against the alias with rtag and then try to
access it through the alias, I get a 'no such tag' error. If I access
the tag using a module name, then it finds the tag. If I then try the
alias again, it now finds the tag. See below for the details. I think
it affects only one of my 8 CVS repositories, and I can't spot any
obvious differences between the problem one and the others.
Any ideas on a solution or where to start looking?
Thanks,
Doug.
================
elan-iedm is an alias defined in the elan_ied/CVSROOT/modules files as
base_iedm_alias -a bin libs iedcore makeenv shared shared_utils sel
sel351s CvsToIdcs abb pdrv appl cfg
elan-iedm &base_iedm_alias
CVSROOT is
:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsrootdir/elan_ied
Apply tag in an empty directory:
cvs -f rtag -R -r HEAD WA_TAG_DAC elan-iedm
val-tags contents:
WA_TAG_6 y
WA_BRANCH_6 y
WA_TAG_123 y
WA_TAG_1234 y
Grepping the files in the repository for WA_TAG_DAC returns a bunch of
matches
Use the tag with the alias
cvs -fQ checkout -r WA_TAG_DAC elan-iedm
results in
cvs [server aborted]: no such tag WA_TAG_DAC
and no directory created or populated
val-tags contents:
WA_TAG_6 y
WA_BRANCH_6 y
WA_TAG_123 y
WA_TAG_1234 y
Use the tag with a module instead of the alias
cvs -fQ checkout -r WA_TAG_DAC libs
results in the 'libs' directory created and populated
val-tags contents:
WA_TAG_6 y
WA_BRANCH_6 y
WA_TAG_123 y
WA_TAG_1234 y
WA_TAG_DAC y
Remove the libs directory
rm -rf libs
Use the tag with the alias
cvs -fQ checkout -r WA_TAG_DAC elan-iedm
results in the 'elan-iedm' directory created and populated
val-tags contents:
WA_TAG_6 y
WA_BRANCH_6 y
WA_TAG_123 y
WA_TAG_1234 y
WA_TAG_DAC y
Cvs version is
cvs --version
