Simple CVS question: How to add a file to the toplevel cvsroot
Hi Everyone,
I knew this is not the right mailing list for this question but I am posting
here as most users on this mailing
list are familiar with CVS.
I want to have a parent pom.xml file for the all the modules in cvs. So is
it possible to add pom.xml file to the cvsroot
like for example:
CVSROOT is to :ext:userName@hostname:/usr/local/cvsroot so how do I add file
to this folder. When I try the CVS add it is giving
this error.
~/dev/test> cvs -d :ext:userName@hostName:/usr/local/cvsroot/ add pom.xml
Password:
cvs add: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [add aborted]: no repository

FWIW, SysInternals' Junction utility allows you to create symbolic links on

Please respond to

He probably means symbolic link as in "on unix or linux, ln -s dir1
dir2". Not symbolic links in CVS itself. At least, I don't know of any
symbolic links in CVS!
If you're not working on an operating system that supports symbolic
links, this will be a difficult option to employ. Perhaps you can use
Cygwin and get symlinks, not positive about that!

symbolic links are only on unix/linux.
cvs_root
CVSROOT
your_module1
your_module2
cd cvs_root
mkdir your_new_module <== add here your pom.xml
ln -s ../your_module1 your_module1
ln -s ../your_module2 your_module2
You have now a new CVS module in cvs that contains a pom.xml and sub_modules in the same CVS module

Hi Max,
The tried the module alias feature in CVS but that does not meet my current
requirements as I also want pom.xml file at the toplevel which is not
allowed in CVS.
Thanks

I knew about symbolic links on linux/unixs but the server is managed by a
different team and we don't have permissions
to create those links.. I was able to create them on my local system and it

Re: Simple CVS question: How to add a file to the toplevel cvsroot
Posted by Mang Jun Lau <Ma...@otpp.com>.
You can execute:
ln -s path-to-actual-CVS-module
This will create a symbolic link in a UNIX system. You're out of luck if
your CVS is on Windows. In your cvsroot, create a new directory (i.e.
module) and place your parent POM in there. Then symlink all of your
modules in that directory. When you want to checkout the project, it will
follow the symlinks and checkout everything in the proper location.

links...
- Keep the structure and create a new module that contains a parent
POM
and a list of symbolic links
to your actual CVS modules

Thanks for responding to my email. I am more inclined to the second
option.. Can you tell me how to create these symbollic links, what command
should I use to acheive this or Are there any cvs commands to create
links...
- Keep the structure and create a new module that contains a parent POM
and a list of symbolic links
to your actual CVS modules
Thanks

Re: Simple CVS question: How to add a file to the toplevel cvsroot
Posted by Emmanuel Venisse <em...@venisse.net>.
You can't do that.
I have two workaround for your problem:
- Refactor your cvs modules for having only one cvs modules that contains all your actual module
- Keep the structure and create a new module that contains a parent POM and a list of symbolic links
to your actual CVS modules
