"No such file"

[Roe, Kevin L.]

The issue with the "cp" command has been resolved. My netapp drive was not being correctly recognized as such by cygwin. It was interpreted as a "cifs". This has been corrected in Cygwin 1.7.3

However, the original point of this thread was a problem with CVS. This is not resolved.

To recap:

The situation:
I check out a module of my repository (located on a remote machine) and a handful of files do not get downloaded due to the "no such file" error described below. I then try to update the same module and get the same error on the same files. I check it out again and get exactly the same response on exactly the same files.
I have checked the permissions on the files in the repository.
I have removed some watches that were on some of the files.


Bottom line:
I have a very repeatable problem with no evidence of a cause I've found.


New information:

I have confirmed that the current CVS (1.12.13) in cygwin is the same as in cygwin 1.5.25
The ssh is different though, old = OpenSSH_5.1p1 new = OpenSSH_5.3p1 server = OpenSSH_5.2p1, or OpenSSH_4.7p1 depending on the machine.


So I ran the "cvs -t update" command on the file in question. Doesn't tell me anything, but here is the output.

-> main: Session ID is NrLenMDBO35CD1tu
-> main loop with CVSROOT=/usr/gapps/AEAG/cvs_modules
-> open_connection_to_server (:ext:hera:/usr/gapps/AEAG/cvs_modules)
-> Starting server: ssh hera cvs server
Password:
S-> Reader_Lock(/usr/gapps/AEAG/cvs_modules/Utilities)
cvs update: warning: p_change.pl was lost
S-> RCS_Checkout (usr/gapps/AEAG/cvs_modules/Utilities/p_change.pl,v,
S-> 1.5, , , (function)) server_register(p_change.pl, 1.5, , , , , )
S-> Register(p_change.pl, 1.5, , , )
S-> fopen(/usr/gapps/AEAG/cvs_modules/CVSROOT/history,a)
cvs update: cannot write ./p_change.pl: No such file of directory
S-> Lock_Cleanup()
S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries)
-> close_connection_to_server ()
-> Lock_Cleanup()


I also tried using the -vvv option on ssh, but got the following error when I set CVS_RSH to that:

cvs [update aborted]: cannot exec ssh -vvv: No such file or directory





Also,

By setting:
CVS_RSH='C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\Tortoiseplink.exe'
alias cvs='/cygdrive/c/Program\ File\ \(x86\)/CVSNT/cvs.exe'

I can get CVS to work.

This is a hack and it works because I'm abandoning the built-in CVS.

Further, the only cvseditor I can get to work is the default "Notepad"




I'd like to get the native CVS working in cygwin. It is the cleanest solution. Any ideas on where I can go from here?
