[Rails-devel] Windows .bz2 utiltity?

[Dave M. <da...@mi...>]

Guys,
	I downloaded your compressed archive, to my XP system, but I didn't 
have a utility that could handle .bz2 files.

	I got a copy of QuickZip, but it extracted the files into 
*.java,v   files which don't run well. (yes, the comma and v are in 
the file names!)

	What are you using to pack and unpack these files?

Dave.

That is, in fact, the correct extension because it's just a raw backup
of the CVS repository filesystem.

For checking the files out of CVS, Sourceforge has a pretty decent
how-to written up.

Eclipse has a handy CVS plug-in. For Windows, there's WinCVS or the
Cygwin utilities as well.

Or, you can just do a quick n' dirty mass renaming from the command
line to remove the ",v".

That won't compile, since the RCS file format (which is what CVS uses to 
store individual files) contains a bunch of meta information and the 
entire revision history of the file -- just renaming it won't change it 
into a flat java file of the most recent version.

You really should just use CVS to check it out directly from Sourceforge.

Arggh... I guess that mutates the question to one of the best free 
Windows CVS utility?
GUI preferred.

(the system I was trying to load this on already has ClearCase and Perforce)

I don't know if those have CVS support, but he mentioned several options 
earlier in his message.  If you are going to be working on Rails, I 
suggest getting Eclipse installed.  I have never tried it on Windows but I 
can't imagine it would be too difficult.

Snort.

If you don't want one integrated with Eclipse or anything, get

http://www.tortoisecvs.org

It is a set of shell extensions for Windows.  Sourceforge has instructions
directly about toroise on its site, also.
