How to Import code and maintain file's modification time as the time of import ( - d not working)

[Deb Comeau (LCL)]

Hi



We are running CVS version 1.11.22 on a Linux machine (cvshost). The
client server is an AIX Unix server.



I have been requested to import all batch source code into a current
repository. The requirement for this code is to maintain the file's
original modification date. I have attempted this using the -d option,
but then I get an error whenever I use the -d option.





ClientServer$>cvs -d cvs:/noa_batch/sql import sql prod_1-0-0-0

========================================================================

CVS Command Aborted ... Using the -d option is not allowed



You will be prompted for the repository to use

========================================================================



This command works fine without the -d, but the dates are imported as
today's date.





Also tried:

ClientServer$>cvs import -d sql prod_1-0-0-0

========================================================================

CVS Command Aborted ... Using the -d option is not allowed





How can I get this code into the repository without modifying the
original timestamps?

If there is a means of using add and maintaining the file's original
date

1) on the server 'cvs' has someone ran
cvs -d /noa_batch/sql init
2) on your client you could try
cvs -d cvs:/noa_batch/sql import -d sql prod_1-0-0-0 reltag

first -d: where the repo is
second -d: use date on file
I think A reltag is required.

There's no such message in the standard CVS source code -- you must be
using some kind of wrapper or a modified version of CVS.
