#1 cvs problems

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Let me be the 1st bugger :-)
I was trying to check out your project from CVS, and
found two things:
- the jar files in the lib directory seems to be checked in
as text files, so they got corrupted, should be readded
as binaries.
- I think the whole project should be pushed down in the
CVS into a sub-directory (for example EJBSpaces). It
should be like that, because when I was checking out
using Eclipse found that can not check out the whole
project at once, but all the sub-directories (src,lib, so
on) one by one into a pre-created project. I think this
would be the case with other CVS tools too.
Also even if you manage it the CVSROOT will be in the
directory too. I think all the projects on sourceforge
follow that they start with a single directory on the top.

Otherwise I think this is a great project, I hope I'll have
some time to contribute.

Cheers,
Zoltan

I fixed the binay files - can you try it again and verify? As far
as moving the directories - I will consider that, but it's not
trivial. DId you try something like -
cvs -z3 -
d:ext:<loginname>@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ejbspaces
co .
(Using "." as the module name)? That works for me, but I
use command-line CVS.

The binary files are all fine now.
Although the cvs command you've recommended works fine,
still I think that having the CVSROOT there is quite ugly - and
if somebody may accidentally check in some file under the
CVSROOT that may ruin the whole cvs.
I still think that this should still be pushed down one level,
better now before the project goes very popular and large :-)

Ok, I was going to repackage sometime anyway! I can move
it when I change the package names. Any suggestions? I.e
move everything down a level under the same module, just
move the src and lib's, etc.?

No suggestions; the package structure looks OK for me as
is, only everything - but obviusly the CVSROOT- should go to
a subdir.
If the XDOCLET -or some other EJB generation tool- would be
used in the future it would be good to put the generated
sources to a separate dir; but this comes later... Btw; do you
plan to use XDOCLET?
