Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
Please download the CVS Suite 2009 trial which contains detailed = instructions on how to do this and a GUI designed for this purpose. If = you have difficulties - contact the sales team via sales at march-hare.com. If your GUI is presenting a 'commit successful' message and that is = confusing your team - please contact the vendor of the GUI. GUI's = should process all the messages from the server not just the return = status code. The commit returns success because the failure of a single file in a = multi-file commit does not represent an error. It may seem logical that = if ALL files fail that it should return an error code - but that is not = the standard behaviour and would confuse people relying on the current = behaviour. A person reading the message 'cvs server: User AAA is unable to write to = ./ReadMe.txt - ignoring' shouldn't think that the commit has been = successful... I think the error message is quite clear - what would you = like to 'see'? =20 ie: is the problem you are describing : * that the error is unclear * a GUI hides the error * something else I recommend people using CVS Suite/CVSNT Server to set up an e-mail = trigger (or if using Suite - the bugzilla trigger) to track what is = ACTUALLY committed. The bugzilla trigger is especially nice since it = attaches the diffs to the bug and allows for easy 'review' - are the = changes I intended in what I committed? The 'reviewer' can then = 'promote' based on that information using the promote function in the = Suite TortoiseCVS. We've been wanting to add auditing of 'errors' to the server audit = plugin for some time but due to architectural issues it's not been = possible. =20 http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?id=3D5518= &tt=3D1 With CVS Suite 2009 this has been solved because of the new architecture = (this relies on a small proprietary component - so it is not possible in = the community edition). I look forward to adding errorlog to the audit = plugin in CVS Suite 2010 - currently due for preview release in June. The ACL failure messages are not logged anywhere (eg: syslog or the = windows event log or some file), and that is the subject of a different = feature request (which we are also looking at resolving in Suite 2010).

I am wanting to implement ACL's to only let the review manager to check=20 in to HEAD, rather than developers. I know how to setup the ACL's, but=20 due to CVS treating the check in request as a success, due to is=20 successfully ignoring it, it is possible that people will think the=20 check in is successful when its not. I have set the reporting=20 preferences to 'LOUD' but this only does so much... I have been trying to insert a script or something inbetween Tortoise=20 and CVS ie within the precommand, postcommand etc, but I'm not having=20 much luck. I can pick up that the commit failed on postcommand due to=20 changes in the arguments, but it doesnt look for a returned error code=20 from the script. Precommand will look for a returned error code, but=20 does not pass through the target branch, where I could then review the=20 ACL's that have been setup and make a decision... Is there any other options?
