pvcs problem
Hi all, I realized that this is more a PVCS or OS level problem, but I'm hoping that I'd get a faster response here... We're running anthill on a Win2K box using PVCS as our version management software. It's been working fine until recently we started using network name directly instead of a mapped drive... for example, our old PVCS archive location for one file was Z:\pvcs\index.html-arc, but now it's \\pvcssvr\pvcs\index.html-arc. In anthill revision log, it writes all the files into file.tmp then runs vlog command against file.tmp in order to get the revision notes, but whenever vlog is run against file.tmp, I'd get "cannot locate archive" message because it parsed the double slash into a single slash. In the above example, I'd get this message: vlog: warning, cannot locate archive "\pvcssvr\pvcs\index.html-arc". I believe the double slash is escaped character for the single slash, and I don't know anyway to build file.tmp so that the file paths show up correctly (with \\\\ instead of \\, which apparently fixes this problem). Has anyone encountered this before? Is there any way to get around this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. On a side note, happy new year to all. Peter Tung HBF Group, Inc.(Continue reading)
