[Codestriker-user] viewcvs problem

[Aamer A. <aa...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm new to codestriker, so this may be something I'm just not entring
or thinkging abour correctly.

When I try to submit a new topic using the web interface. I get this:

Repository "http://cvs.blah.blah.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi
/tst-mpls" doesn't support topic text tag retrieval.


my codestriker.conf:
     'http://cvs.blah.blah.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi /tst-mpls',


doesn't support topic text tag retrieval.


what does this mean?

If you want to create topics from code which has already been committed 
into CVS, then you enter in values in the START_TAG, END_TAG and MODULE 
fields.

The viewcvs.cgi repository type is not capable of doing this (hence the 
error message) - it can only support topics that have been uploaded into 
Codestriker via the topic text field.

If you configure a pserver or ext CVS repository type (or local), you'll be 
able to create topics using the tags.  The manual has some information on 
this.

David, thanks that makes sense. would it be possible to have a more
verbose message such as 'this repository type does not support tag
retreival, you have to use the text file upload'

your explanation below was more than enough.

Hi Aamer,

Thanks - you're right.  The current message is very terse.  I'll fix it up 
to output what you have said above.
