Samba CVS at NetLabs - Not Enough Info

I can't very well guess what module one is suppose to check out to get the code. Could someone please advise, and update the web page as well.
TIA!

Most cvs servers will accept a dot for the default module.
I haven't tried it with the samba project but it works for other
netlabs projects which I have tried.

Seems '.' is not the answer either...

Had that part from the web site, see my other post about the missing detail...

It is the answer, but you need to login first - password readonly.
cvs -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co .
After that, you can drop the -d stuff when working in your sandbox.

I had logged in, here is the full process...
cvs -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co samba
Z:\Dev>cvs -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba login
Logging in to :pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:2401/netlabs.cvs/samba
CVS password:
Z:\Dev>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co .
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [checkout aborted]: no repository
It says "No such file or directory"... not something about authentication.
Also on dropping the -d, only true it seems if I set an env var, which I don't intend to do for as little as I do with cvs.
Z:\Dev>cvs co .
cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

It does work, I've just done so to confirm it.
Paul is right about not having to use the -d, but only after you have
had a successful checkout.
Looking at your quoted transaction, the only differences that I can
see are that I always use a space between the -d and the :pserver:...
and I don't use the compression.

Tried w/o compression, same result.
Added a space between -d and :, nadda...
I use this client against sf.net frequently w/o issue.

Is this an OS/2 client? There is an update to 1.12.0.1, but I doubt this is
the problem.
Where is your HOME enviroment variable pointing and is there a .cvspass
file in that location? Does it contain a string for the Samba repository?
What is the output of:
cvs -t -d :pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co -l .
Is there anything in your Z:\dev directory? Is it otherwise writable?

Ok. Apparently %HOME% is set and an entry is made to %HOME%\.cvspass

You have to create your local repositority fist:
md samba
Always checkout from the root dir:
cd samba
cvs -z9 -d:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co .
Why not use highest compression?
--------------------------------
Here an alternative, that I use:
Ensure that %HOME% points to your home directory and that it exists.
Create a file %HOME%\.cvsrc in order to set compression rate (optional):
echo cvs -z9>>%HOME%\.cvsrc
Set CVSROOT. You can omit that step, if you don't checkout the first
time:
set cvsroot=:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba
Create your local repository, if it doesnot exist already:
md \dev\samba
Change to your local repository:
cd \dev\samba
Checkout the entire project repositority:
cvs co .

And I've lost the link I downloaded it from. Nice clean free standing cvs.exe that does not depend on any *nix type libraries being installed.

HOME=I:\ And .cvspass is there.

Yes, that is the root area for all development work. Lots there, writable for sure.

Because that was an initial guess... did not mean to copy/paste that dir name. I was trying "." dot.

Yes, that is all working fine.

Never had to do that yet, trying... Nope, same error.

Just starting with the default syntax sf.net had listed on their site. Already had to tweak that to download from a port 80 server they host as their "normal" CVS server is down a LOT. So much for
defaults.

From which dir did you check out? Here I have to go to my samba dir
first.

I am sitting in Z:\dev and what usually happens, take ooRexx for example, I go and checkout oorexx and it automatically makes Z:\dev\oorexx if it does not exist and places the files under there.
(Thus I tried checking out "samba" but as I have been informed "." is correct for NetLabs projects.)
Even if changing into Z:\dev\samba were "required" it should still try to dump files just in Z:\dev since that is where I am sitting.

It is. Then use
cvs co .
Just read Ulrich Moeller's http://www.xworkplace.org/cvs.html

Checking out to Z:\dev works, but you probably don't like the CVSROOT,
CVS and src subdirs out of the Samba repository in that main dir.
Moreover, that should lead to problems when checking out the 2nd
repository. Maybe that's what occurs in your case, regarding the msg
"cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory".

Thanks for the link, more details of NetLab's configuration than on the NetLabs Samba page.

OK, lost me here. Folks said to just check out "."... not you seem to suggest that doing so might throw the error message... because there are multiple directories there or something. OK, so what in
the world should I check out and actually get Samba source files to come down?
2nd repository... ??? Do you mean other NetLabs projects, or is Samba in a couple of places on their CVS server...???

Then I suggest you ask in the appropriate place. As several people have
pointed out, it works fine with an OS/2 client.

I get this:

-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log)
-> chmod(CVS/Entries.Log,100666)
-> Lock_Cleanup()
As a desperate last resort, you could try creating the files manually.
Make a new sandbox directory e.g. z:\dev\samba
Make the CVS directory e.g. z:\dev\samba\CVS
In this CVS directory, create 3 files:
One called "Entries" containing a "D" character followed by a CR/LF
One called "Repository" containing a "." character followed by a CR/LF
One called "Root" containing:
:pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba
followed by a CR/LF.
Then change back to the z:\dev\samba directory and do a "cvs co ."
If it still doesn't work, then boot OS/2 and stop wasting time.

Oh don't you DARE start that kind of trash! NetLabs site says to NOT contact them, to use THIS GROUP for issues with their project. cvs is cvs is cvs... 'tis a CROSS PLATFORM project. 'nough said.
> If it still doesn't work, then boot OS/2 and stop wasting time.
Not an option right now... have the OS/3 HDD in the box that can boot OS/2. Ah, now there is a thought... use OS/3! Indeed, cvs talks to the NetLabs server on that platform. So either it is their
server or the Win32 client I have, but the client is tried and true against other cvs servers... thus I have my opinion...

Ah, and since all of the code was under /src/
cvs -z9 -d :pserver:gu...@www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/samba co src
happens to work perfect on Win32. Was is SO HARD to say the stink'n directory name!?

CVSROOT main directory with deny all permissions on the root of the
repository so that you have to specify a specific project
(subdirectory) for check in/out.
Just for fun, have you tried the java based jCVS? It seems to handle
all that stuff pretty cleanly, makes the setup of a new server/project
simple, and is a pretty decent browser for the projects you check out
with it. With my aging memory, I'll take all the help I can get!

Both mostly-used W$ GUI CVS paks (one is Tortoise CVS) work as well
with Netlabs repositories.
