We have problems retrieving modules from cvs. To give you an exact picture
we discribe here what we have done, but most interesting should be the
end ....
Having untarred the files cvs-1.0.tar, (sources mostly from 89/11/19)
rcs-5.5.tar under $HOME/rcs
changing in $HOME/rcs/cvs/Makefile:
DESTDIR= /sun/da/sb/rcs/cvs/bin
changing MANDIR in $HOME/rcs/cvs/man/Makefile:
MANDIR= /sun/da/sb/rcs/cvs/man/man${MANSEC}
changing in $HOME/rcs/cvs/src/cvs.h
#define RCSBIN_DFLT "/sun/da/sb/rcs/rcs/src"
starting in $HOME/rcs/cvs
$ make depend
$ make
$ mkdir bin man/manl # should this in the Makefile??
$ make install
creating repository directory
$ mkdir ~/CVS ~/CVS/CVSROOT.adm
$ cd ~/CVS/CVSROOT.adm
$ cp ~/rcs/cvs/examples/* .
edit file modules to contain the line
ex ex a b
$ ci -m'Initial loginfo file' loginfo
$ ci -m'Initial modules file' module
$ mkmodules /sun/da/sb/CVS/CVSROOT.adm
$ setenv CVSROOT /sun/da/sb/CVS
$ setenv RCSBIN /sun/da/sb/rcs/rcs/src
$ set path = ( $path \
/sun/da/sb/rcs/rcs/src \
/sun/da/sb/rcs/cvs/bin )
$ mkdir ~/ex; cd ~/ex # this is our little example
$ echo aa > a; echo bb > b
$ mkdir $CVSROOT/ex
adapting ~/rcs/cvs/bin/checkin to my environment:
changing lines 41/42 to:
set cvsbin = /sun/da/sb/rcs/cvs/bin
set rcsbin = /sun/da/sb/rcs/rcs/src
now our first trial:
$ checkin -m 'first cvs trying' ex EX EX1
results in:
WARNING: Creating new file ex/a
WARNING: Creating new file ex/b
trying to retrieve the information DOES NOT SUCCEED!!!!!!
$ cd ~/newdir
$ cvs co ex
cvs: nothing known about a
cvs: nothing known about b
cvs: failed; correct the above errors first
So now, what are we doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated,

PS: Errors on the manpage for cvs
page 9, line 6: the files are from $CVSROOT/bin, not $CVSROOT/bin/awk

I haven't tried this sort of setup here, preferring instead to use the alias mechanism. Perhaps trying something like: foo ex a b in your modules file will work a little bit better. After this try: cvs co foo and it should create a directory "foo" in your current directory. If you don't have the "ex" entry in your modules file it will also work as expected. The modules mechanism does have it's bugs, mostly having to do with nested aliases, but they can be worked around without too much trouble. BTW: I'm posting followups to comp.sources.bugs, since that seems to be a better place for this discussion. John M. Sully Unisys Corporation 2700 N.

As I heard, I have to use cvs1.2. Actually I get this version from a server here in europa. I tested this version and it work.
