Using the MozillaBuild 1.2 RC I can't checkin with CVS. Found when trying to check in the fix for bug 409114, here was my output: Ben@SOLACEWIN ~/src/mozilla/trunk/mozilla/tools/build-environment/win32 $ cvs ci -m "New build stuff" cvs commit: nothing known about `packageit.sh' cvs commit: nothing known about `profile-sshagent.sh' cvs commit: nothing known about `start-msvc6.bat' cvs commit: nothing known about `start-msvc71.bat' cvs commit: nothing known about `start-msvc8.bat' cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!

bsmedberg says bug 373304 updated CVS to 1.11.22, but due to a packaging problem, it wasn't included in MozillaBuild 1.1. We picked it up in MozillaBuild 1.2 because we wound up fixing the packaging problem. This also seems to be causing a bug whereby multiple recursive copies of the source tree are checked out (under mozilla/build/autoconf/) during make -f client.mk checkout. I checked, and using /bin/cvs.exe (which is 1.11) instead of /local/bin/cvs.exe (1.11.22) makes both of these problems go away. :-(

Apparently this has been reported before: http://readlist.com/lists/lists.sourceforge.net/mingw-msys/0/670.html I'm just going to roll back to 1.11 for 1.2, and we'll look into this for 1.3.

Not really a satisfying option, but MozillaBuild 1.2 is blocking beta3, and we're no worse off shipping 1.11 again than we are with MozillaBuild 1.1. I don't know that there's a really easy answer to this, it might fix itself if we update all our msys packages or something, but that's out of scope for 1.2.

Comment on attachment 294150 [details] [diff] [review] stop building cvs 1.11.22 [checked in] This is checked in. Leaving this bug open for a better solution for MozillaBuild 1.3.

Can we have a cvs version that also support pserver;proxy ?

Do you know what version that would be? I would like to get a newer CVS into MozillaBuild, just that 1.11.22 from msys had a lot of bugs.

See http://ximbiot.com/cvs/wiki/CVS%20FAQ: As of CVS release 1.12.7, CVS supports connecting via HTTP proxies using "connection options" with a syntax like:: :pserver;proxy=<proxyserver>;proxyport=<portnum>: Not sure, how and when this is taken up in mingw...

We'll take another swing at this when we get around to MozillaBuild 1.3.

MozillaBuild's cvs can't do user:password check-outs either, which breaks anonymous checkouts of l10n from client.mk, which uses anonymous:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org :-(.

Don't think I care enough about CVS anymore for this to matter in our glorious future of hg.
