CVS Plugin

[MayorA]

Hi Roland

Now, that's really interesting ... How did you add this alias ? I can not reproduce this behaviour.

I also get the same connection error (for servers in the WAN arae) in the office (behind a firewall), but not at home. So I will have to check this particular sourceforge address at home.

What happens with (tested) repositories as
CVSRoot = :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs ?

I would still blame some sort of firewall restrictions ...

Hi Alex,

When you said the same connection error appears in WAN areas it got me thinking. My setup here is as follows:
ADSL -- ROUTER/MODEM -- WIFI ROUTER -- My Computer (Firewall)

It looks a bit like a wan So I explicitly opened port 2401 on both routers and everything seems fine now. Call me stupid

The alias is very simple: :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org/cvs=OO

I took this string from your post above and added the alias myself.

Hi Alex,

thank you for implementing the revision specific view and diff features in vs 1.1.3. This is just great. But I am afraid I discovered a slight problem. If I open a specific revision of a file in a directory of a local repository everything is okay. But if I open an other file of an other directory within the same local repository I always get a system error.
So I need to go back to the CVSBrowser plugin root and back again to that directory. In this case I can open or diff the file without problem.

Can you reproduce it?

Hi Roland

I am glad to hear that this problem has been resolved so easily.


Hi Tbeu

Yes, I can reproduce it and will fix it in the next release.

Thanks to your testing and feed-backs ...

Hi Alex,

could you please provide packages not including the Winmerge.exe and cvs.exe at SF (sourceforge.net/projects/tc-cvsbrowser). This would really save me a lot of download time for every new update of CVSBrowser.

Thank you,

A new version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.1.4

it is available at totalcmd.net.

New Features / Bug Fixes:

• "Multi-Line Commit Message"
  The user can now specify commit Messages containing multiple
  lines of text.
• "Compare/Diff between current working file with any revision"
  Similar to the revision diff in the log window it is now possible to
  compare a locally (modified) working file with the repository file.
• "Redesign Revision related Action Screen"
  The old revision related action screen allowed to select one action
  "view, open, cvs diff, external diff" and then required an additional
  OK - Button confirmation.
  These option buttons have benn replaced by normal buttons to
  reduce selection to one click.
• "Stop Hanging Processes on temporary Files"
  Some Processes started by CVSBrowser lock file handles in the
  temporary folder, like open/diff etc. from the log window.
  CVSBrowser now registers these processes and terminate them
  (after a warning) each time getting to the root level (unfortunately
  there is no other incident for leaving a plugin).
• "Open two revisions in different (local rep) folders gives errors"
  Fixed bug which lead to a system error after opening two different
  revision documents (from the log window) in different folders of a
  local repository.
• "Plugin Crashes without INI or Template.INI File"
  Fixed bug which produced a stack overflow on plugin installations
  with missing INI and template.INI files.
• Minor bug fixes

A new version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.1.5

it is available at totalcmd.net.

New Features / Bug Fixes:

• "Plugin crash during big repository access"
  A bug causing the plugin to crash during accessing big repositories with more than four hundred directories or so, has been fixed.
• "Commit messages with "" do not work"
  (") quotation marks in commit messages will be automatically changed to simple quotation marks ('), otherwise the commit failes.

Hi Alex,

about the event of leaving a plugin:

• "Stop Hanging Processes on temporary Files"
  Some Processes started by CVSBrowser lock file handles in the
  temporary folder, like open/diff etc. from the log window.
  CVSBrowser now registers these processes and terminate them
  (after a warning) each time getting to the root level (unfortunately
  there is no other incident for leaving a plugin).

Maybe the DLL_PROCESS_DETACH case in the DllMain function of your plugin is the right place to look for. This case gets executed if cm_UnloadPlugins is called or TC closes.

And I found an other issue in CVSBrowser 1.1.4 and 1.1.5. I am not able to view any revision file or the working file by pressing ALT+ENTER on a file within a local repository and the View button. The error message says: Error in fsplugin.FsExecuteFile.

Hi tbeu

Unfortunately DllMain() is never called with DLL_PROCESS_DETACH during TC life time, so I cannot hook this event.

Concerning your bug report: I cannot reproduce this behaviour in my environment, but I will try to do some additional exception handling in the Fs - functions to get more information in future releases.

A new version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.1.6

it is available at totalcmd.net.

New Features / Bug Fixes:

• "Highlight Revision Links in Log Window"
  The revision links in the Log Windows, which can be accessed through hyperlinks are hardly distinguishable from normal text. They are now highlighted showier.
• "Synchronize DirChange Left & Right"
  If in both TC file list panes CVSBrowser is opened and one pane is within "local Browser", the other pane is a "Repository" folder and both panes have identical leaf folders, a dialog will propose to "Synchronize DirChange Left & Right".
• "Delete on Repository File calls cvs remove"
  A delete on a repository file will (after a showing a cofirmation dialog) call "cvs remove" and "cvs commit" for this file.
• "Add/Remove of Repository Tags"
  It's possible to add or remove CVS repository tags (symbolic names) on Repository level.
• "Startup-Warning if File Tracing is active"
  During Plugin initialization CVSBrowser gives a warning if tracing to file is enabled and lets the user switch it off, as tracing slows down the performance significantly.
• "cvs.exe from wrong location leads to problems"
  If in the INI file parameter "CVSExe" has been specified without an absolute path (as it is in the INI template), it should take it from the CVSBrowser installation directory. The old implementation however selected the first cvs.exe in the windows PATH, which might be a complete different version of cvs which can lead to access problems.
• "Exception Handling on Plugin Level"
  Every public FileSystem Plugin function now has a top-level exception handling trying to retrieve and report the last occured error.
• "Only ask for Process Termination for still Running Processes"
  In the first implementation CVSBrowser asked for all processes (e.g. "external diff" or "open") started within a repository browsing session, if they shall be terminated, even if they have not been running anymore. Now it just asks for still running processes.

Generally a bunch of bugs have been fixed, thus an upgrade to this version is recommended.

A bug fix version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.1.7

it is available at totalcmd.net.

Bug Fix:

• ""Create Pipe Error "Not enough quota...""
  Fix for a bug, which appeared after some while working on the repositories, during creating a pipe with the following error message:

  Code: Select all

  "Not enough quota is available to process this command"

  .

A bug fix version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.1.8

it is available at totalcmd.net.

Bug Fixes:

• "Comparison of CVS Revision with Working File fails"
  If the user tried to compare a cvs revision with the
  current working file from the Log window he got a system
  error message "The system cannot find the file specified".
  A warning message now informs the user that this is not
  supported.
• "Commit with long messages failes"
  CVS Commit failed when the commit message exceeded some
  length.
• "Timeout Dialog blocks Parent Dialogs"
  If during a CVS command the Timeout dialog appeared it
  used to block a parent dialog (like e.g. the copy dialog),
  even after closing the timeout dialog.

A new version of CVSBrowser has been released:

CVSBrowser 1.2.0

it is available at totalcmd.net.

New Features / Bug Fixes:

• "Update Function on Working File"
  An update function on the working file in the local browser view allows to update/merge the local working file with the latest cvs version..
• "Revision Graph for Working Files"
  From the log window it is possible to get a graphical representation of the CVS revisions and tags, using parts of TortoiseCVS.
• Followup: "Adding Folders and Trees does not work"
  Some INI file changes to make it work:

  Code: Select all

     Pattern_Log_DirectoryUnknown=": nothing known about "
     Pattern_Log_DirectoryExists=": Logging "
     Pattern_Log_NoCVSEntries=": cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory"
  

For the new feature of the Revision Graph parts of TortoiseCVS have been added, this increased the size of the complete plugin download, however a download without these binaries is also available at sourceforge.net.

Anyone got the mozdev cvs working? I'm trying to connect to
http://webdeveloper.mozdev.org/source.html (info page)
but gets a blank every time...

[MayorA]

It seems that cvs access on this site is restricted to module "webdeveloper" only.
Under these circumstances CVSBrowser is not working.

You will have to completely checkout this module.
