CVS weirdness

Hi,

I'm trying to get a copy of cocoon 2.1 prior to the major refactoring,
using:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic -z3 checkout -D 2003-02-16 -r HEAD xml-cocoon2

... but it doesn't seem to work. It grabs all the files, then deletes
them. I'm wondering:

- am I doing something silly with the cvs command?
- is something broken in cvs due to the recent changes?
- are aliens messing with my hard disk?

Any help appreciated!


Andrew.

-D checks out for a specific timestamp
-r checks out for a tag

You've got both :)

Ok ... thanks for that, but I still have a problem. Either "continuous
integration" hasn't been working for quite some time, or the recent cvs
changes have broken something (most likely making some library jars
unavailable?)

In my bid to find pre-refactor cocoon-2.1 with samples, I've tried the
following:

2002-10-01 (Tidy problems)
2002-11-01 (Tidy problems)
2002-12-01 (jars.xml references missing jars in lib/optional)
2003-01-01 (jars.xml references missing jars in lib/optional)
2003-02-01 (jars.xml references missing jars in lib/optional)
2003-02-12 (jars.xml references missing jars in lib/optional)

Are all these revisions of 2.1 _really_ broken?


Andrew.

There is no revision called "HEAD" dated 2003-02-16... The head revision is
somewhere like "today" for all files... You use -D and -r together just to
see which files committed on day "-D" have not been modified until today
(the're still on -r HEAD)...

In short(s):

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic \
    -z3 checkout -D 2003-02-16 xml-cocoon2

Works.
