This may be a little convoluted, but here goes... In the CVS perspective, I add a remote CVS repository (this has been tested with both ssh over putty and pserver methods). Open up Versions menu, choose any module. Left-click to confirm that no versions are known. Right click to get the pop-up. "Configure branches and versions" in the pop-up menu is greyed out for me in 2.1 RC2. In Head, go to module you want to add branches to and right click, the menu item is active. Select it, add a couple of tags & branches, confirm, returning to the CVS perspective. In Versions, try to find the tags you just selected for the module - they're not there. For the same procedure in 2.0.2, there was no problem - the "configure branches and versions" enu item was alive & kicking when I popped up on Versions/module. In addition, for some reason once there are a lot of modules (say, for example, with anoncvs.gnome.org), many modules appear twice in the module list. In brief, this seems to render branches & tags unusable for me in Eclipse. Cheers, Dave.
Here is a summary of the problems you stated with my comments 1) Configure Branches and Versions disabled on project in Versions category: fixed in 2.1 2) Expanding project in versions category has empty versions after Configure Branches and Versions: The problem is that expanding a project in the Versions category refetches known tags. The workaround is to define an auto-refresh file for the module and then you should be OK. 3) A lot of modules causes duplicates: I have never seen this behavior before. One possibility is that there is a folder with the same name as a module (the icons would be different). Is this the case? If not, can you tell me how many modules is a lot. To get the modules, we just perform a "cvs checkout -c". Could you do that and attach the output and let us know which ones are duplicates?
In order: First) currently downloading 2.1 Thanks for the info. Two)File added to refresh list, problem solved. I would have expected explicitly adding a tag name to the "remembered tags" would persist past a refresh, though... And fourthly)In the CVS perspective, add a new CVS source. For the parameters, use "anoncvs.gnome.org", "/cvs/gnome", user anonymous, and any password. Open the resource, then choose Versions. A screenshot is attached of what I see. Seems like this is the only bug. When my 29 hour download of the new Eclipse is finished, I'll give ye more feedback (I'm exaggerrating on the download time (a little)) Cheers, Dave.
Created attachment 4394 [details] Screenshot of Eclipse CVS perspective This is after openning the CVS resource (in the HEAD view, there is no such problem) - you can see that most of the modules, but not all, have two entries in this list. Cheers, Dave.
I am not able to connect to this site due to internal firewall restrictions. I could go through a song and dance to connect but it would make my life a lot easier if you could do a simple test for me. One of the projects that is duplicated is the "achtung" project. Could you expand HEAD of the repository and see if this appears as both a folder and a module (one will be at the top and the other will be in the middle because the view shows folders first and then modules)?
I have connected to the site in question and the problem is indeed that there are many folders and modules with the same name. We need to differentiate these in the Versions Category. Changing title from "Problem with CVS branches and tags" to better describe the problem.
Yup - indeed, the double-ups are module & folder duplicates. I guess that surprises me somewhat... Anyway, thanks for the help. Sorry to have annoyed ye :) Cheers, Dave.
