Hi all,
I updated my installation of Cygwin yesterday. As part of this CVS was
updated to version 1.11.5-1
I had been using cvs quite successfully to talk to a repository on a
Windows 2000 server. As of this upgrade this is no longer working. When
I cd to my copy and type 'cvs update' I get an error;
cvs update: CVSROOT requires a path spec:
cvs update:
:(gserver|kserver|pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
cvs update: [:(ext|server):][[user]@]host[:]/path
cvs [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:pserver:andyt@javsource1:c:\eglrepository'.
I've tried doing a fresh checkout (to another directory) with all sorts
of variations on the path spec but none seems to work, for instance;
$ cvs -d:pserver:andyt@javsource1/c:\\eglrepository login
or
$ cvs -d:pserver:andyt@javsource1/c//eglrepository login
etc.
Can anyone provide any suggestions? Please cc me as I'm not subscribed
to the list.
Thanks and regards,
Andy
