[K42-discussion] problems with kcvs?

[Livio Soares]

  Hi Bob,

  Please be  aware that we "outsider's"  checkout from kcvs  repository; not the
one on kix. Look at the CVSROOT/modules on kcvs:

kitchsrc -a  kitch-core kitch-linux kitch-thin k42-pem-tools khwtools dyn-up-tools k42-trace-xml
                                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  I think the cvs client bails out when it cannot find 'dyn-up-tools' module (it
is _not_ on kcvs).  If Watson doesn't want to release the 'dyn-up-tools' module,
I suggest two options:

1) remove it completely from the CVSROOT/modules file

2) Leave 'dyn-up-tools' module as the last  on the list.  This way cvs will exit
   trying to checkout  the dyn-up-tools module only after  getting all the other
   modules.

  For the  people outside  of Watson,  I suggest just  checking out  the missing
module manually; so do the traditional checkout first:

cvs -d cvs at kcvs:/u/kitchawa/cvsroot co kitchsrc

   and force the checkout of k42-trace-xml

cvs -d cvs at kcvs:/u/kitchawa/cvsroot co k42-trace-xml

  (don't change directories in between commands). 

  I think doing this gets you a complete/clean tree.

  Hope this helps,

				Livio
