Reserved edits : Mac OS X

Amarinder Pal Singh,

You've already asked how to accomplish reserved edits on Mac
and I've
already explained in the thread "Problem locking a
file".

Make sure you have CVSNT client installed (2.5.03.2382
preferably) on
the 
Mac.

The way the "exclusive" edit options are usually
used is NOT how you are

using them.  The "free" version of WinCVS does NOT
support "reserved
edits" - it supports "concurrent edits" and
"cooperative edits".  

If you want to implement reserved edits this is how you do
it:

Every versioned file in CVSNT has attributes - also called
"expansion 
options".  These are "sticky" - they are
propogated from one version of
the 
file to the next.

So if all your files should always be used in
"reserved" mode the
"solution" 
is to mark them as such: cvs update -k+x cvs commit -f
"everything will
now 
lock"

Now when you checkout, edit etc the client will
automatically use the 
"locking" functions without the need to specify -c
or -x on the command
line 
ever again.

Regards,



Arthur Barrett

Hi,

I am trying to take reserve edit on Mac using MacCvsX 3.3a2
client. I am
passing following CVS command "cvs edit -c"
through Admin->command line
GUI option.

Following is the console output (command exit with code 1) 

cvs edit -c abc.txt (in directory /test)

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

However the same command works fine through WinCVS client. 

Any suggestions for taking reserve edit on MAC would be
greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Amarinder Pal Singh
