Re: Updated: cvs-1.11.6-3 [Requires cygwin-1.5.3+]


To clarify: the warning below ONLY applies if you are using the cygwin version of cvs to maintain a local repository. If you're just using the cvs client to access remote (unix-hosted?) repositories, the you don't need to worry about this.

In other words, if you EVER did the following, using cygwin's cvs:

cvs init

then you need to follow the instructions below. Otherwise, party on.

There has been a CHANGE in the on-disk format
of gdbm database files, due to the cygwin-1.3.22--cygwin-1.5.x
32bit--64bit transition.  This affects all programs which
use gdbm -- including cvs.  You MUST update your on-disk
databases immediately after updating to

  cvs-1.11.6-3
  libgdbm4-1.8.3-7

To do this, use the 'convert-gdbm' script included in the
gdbm-1.8.3-7 and newer packages:

  today=`date +%Y%m%d`
  cd ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT
  cp modules.db modules.db.${today}
  cp val-tags.db val-tags.db.${today}
  convert-gdbm modules.db
  convert-gdbm val-tags.db

(If you have been using the test versions of gdbm and cvs, and have already updated your databases, there is no need to do so again)
