NetBeans release 3.2 build #31 (RC2) on Windows 2000/NT4.0/95/98 with JDK 1.3 Description: ============ It is not possible to do check out of whole contents of remote repository into empty working directory using 1.11 version of CVS executable on all Windows pla- tforms. The crucial conditions are: * To have 1.11 version of CVS binary on Windows OS. * To run 'cvs co .' command in completely empty directory. * To connect to remote repository i.e. CVSROOT starts with :pserver: string. I have already send the message to bug-cvs@gnu.org mailing list but received no response so far. Have a look at the following link to see it: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg00976.html Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Create new directory e.g. c:\mySources and invoke CVS wizard. 2. Specify this directory as your working directory and push "Next >". 3. Select "Password Server" as connection method. 4. Specify cvs.netbeans.org as "Server Name", anoncvs as "User Name" and /cvs as "Repository" so that your CVSROOT is :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.netbeans.org:/cvs 5. In the next pane choose "CVS Command-Line Client Support" and point to your 1.11 version of cvs.exe binary. Then push "Next >". 6. Don't type in any password and just push "Login" button and after you are logged in successfully push "Next >" again. 7. Check "Perform the initial checkout" checkbox and "Finish" the wizard. 8. "CVS Checkout -" dialog opens. Just press "OK" button. 9. After a while there will be an error message in the "Output of VCS Commands" dialog: cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository Workaround: =========== Use previous version of CVS binary e.g. 1.10.8
O.K., since this is not a problem of NetBeans module, closing this as "Wontfix". This has to be solved in the command-line cvs client.
Still no response. It seems that CVS development community is pretty busy... :-) Verifying as "Will not fix".
