In 2.5.01 and forward backslashes are treated as escape characters. For example if you are using CVSROOT scripts like loginfo you have to make sure these are modified by changing \ to / in all paths etc. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Richard Kerry Sent: den 20 maj 2005 11:32 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Colons and Slashes. Forward ever Forward. I'm sure I'll not really be telling anyone anything they don't know, but following a load of time spent yesterday I'd like to remind people of the following : The slash in the repository name in the CVSROOT string must be a forward slash. (This is using sspi connection and may therefore be Windows specific) This is behaviour which seems to have changed recently, an earlier version of cvsnt (not sure which - think there was a 58 in the number) didn't seem to mind, 2.5.01 does. If you get a 'no such repository' error, check the direction of the slash. cvs [log aborted]: \CcCvs: no such repository /CcCvs works. Also, the last colon, the one before the repository name, is optional. This is probably a bug. Ie 'CVSROOT = :sspi:MyServer/CcCvs' works, although 'CVSROOT = :sspi:MyServer:/CcCvs' is preferred. I'd not recommend people use this as I'm sure it'll be fixed sometime soon. PS apologies as usual for the amount of signature that gets added here. Richard Kerry
