CVS Checkout problem
by Steve Lamperti · in Torque Game Engine · 10/08/2003 (2:48 pm) · 10 replies
I've been seeing a problem sometimes when I try to checkout the latest head. I'm getting it today, and have several times before.
What happens is that the CVS checkout starts complaining about seemingly all the files in the torque folder with error messages like the following:
cvs checkout: move away torque/engine/ts/tsShapeConstruct.h; it is in the way
C torque/engine/ts/tsShapeConstruct.h
If I clear out the torque folder, and do a complete download it works fine, but I am not sure why I need to do this.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them,
Thanks,

I don't have any of the files open, and I just tried doing the checkout after a restart of the machine, and I'm still getting the message on many if not all of the files. I'll try running a scandisk on my harddisk to see if something is wrong with the disk.

and for GORPE is it head?

Question is HEAD the proper one to DL or 1.1.2 like the instructions say?and for GORPE is it head?

HEAD is always defined by CVS to be the most recent source files.

You want to download HEAD, not 1_1_2...HEAD is always defined by CVS to be the most recent source files.

For GORPE it's DR_1_0 for the stable developers release. I don't currently lay down any tag on the latest greatest source, only bug fixs to DR 1.0.

cvs checkout: in drectory torque:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
I checked, and there is no CVS folder in my torque folder. I'm pretty sure I haven't deleted this folder, so I'm not sure why it's not there. This may be the reason why I am getting the errors I reported above.
Have I missed a step in the CVS checkout process? Or perhaps I have a setting wrong.
Again, if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.
I have the torque folder at the root of my C Drive, and the content of the folder is an untouched download of the head files from yesterday evening.

I'm still having this problem. I checked earlier in my CVS log, and found the following error cvs checkout: in drectory torque:
cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory

where it expects to not be working on the code anymore therefore it does not provide the CVS folders.
this is no doubt the option you somehow selected when doing your initial checkout
so possibly you have checked the option :
Do Not Create CVS Directories (export)
found on the Checkout Options tab of the Checkout dialog.
check that out.

thanks for the suggestion, that sounded good, until I looked at the settings. Do Not Create CVS Directories (export) , is not checked, so that should not be the problem.

Thanks for the help.

I seem to have been doing something silly. I was running the entire checkout again when I wanted to update, instead of just updating the selection I wanted to update. I'm still not sure why I was getting the errors I described, but updating seems to work fine, so I will do that in the future, instead of trying the checkout again.Thanks for the help.
