Re: [pde-build-dev] Headless build with CVS Fetch

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know a lot about cvs passfiles,
but, here is some info:

PDE.Build uses the cvs ant task for
the fetch.  When the fetch fails, it should leave behind a retrieve.xml
script that was used to try and fetch.  You can look there to see
the ant calls.
A cvspass task will be generated for
authentication if password and passfile are specified in the map file and
this task adds the password to the passfile.  Ant docs say the default
passfile is ~/.cvspass

Note however that the ant docs (http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvspass.html)
say that if you are using CVSNT then your passfile may be ignored, see
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21657#c5.

Subject	[pde-build-dev] Headless build with CVS Fetch

Hi,
 
   I'm not sure if this is the
correct forum, so, if it isn't, please let know which forum I should use.
 
   I have been having a problem
getting a headless PDE build in which I pull the source code from CVS to
work.
 
   I have followed the instructions
as far as I can tell. I even found and installed the pluginbuilder plug-in
(which is very good by the way) and yet things hang at the same point.
When the build attempts to login to the CVS server I get an error message
on the client side and a login failure at the server. (I see "cvs:
login failure (for /usr/local/cvsroot) in /var/log/messages on the server).
 
   The build error is reported
as:
 
(eclipse.fetch) Could not retrieve feature.xml
and/or build.properties:
           
          cvs exited with error code 1
(eclipse.fetch) Command line was [Executing
'cvs' with arguments:
(eclipse.fetch) '-d:pserver:ivan@lindev09:/usr/local/cvsroot'
(eclipse.fetch) '-q'
(eclipse.fetch) 'export'
(eclipse.fetch) '-r'
(eclipse.fetch) 'HEAD'
(eclipse.fetch) 'org.xxx.xxx/feature.xml'
(eclipse.fetch) 
 
   If I take that exact same CVS
execute string, form it into a single command-line and run it from a command
prompt, the cvs checkout works perfectly.
 
   I am running on WinXP with Eclipse
3.3 and my CVS server is on a linux box.
 
   My CVS password file on the
client was created at "c:\Documents and Settings\ivan\.cvspass"
by Eclipse. I also created a .cvspass in \home\ivan and set the HOME environment
variable to that directory.
 
   Does anyone have any ideas about
what the problem is or what I should try next?
 
  Thanks, Ivan
