Hello,
I have this problem with both extssh and pserver modes. I am using 3.1M4 under
linux/gtk.

Comment 2 Roel Spilker 2005-01-04 04:38:56 EST

Sylvain,

A collegue of mine suggest that under linux/gtk the button "Show Change Sets", 
in the synchonize view toolbar, is by default not visible. This button can be 
shown by resizing the synchronize view. When you use pserver, pushing this 
button results in grouping the incomming changes by Change Set.

Hi,

This button is visible even on linux/gtk. (However, is is enabled only in
incoming mode [new feature since 3.1M2]).

You can see on the attached screenshot.

Cheers,
Sylvain

What CVS server version are you using. The grouped change sets is based on being
able to parse the logs.

Comment 6 Roel Spilker 2005-01-05 19:17:27 EST

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.5 (client/server)

Comment 7 Sylvain Pasche 2005-01-06 03:33:05 EST

using version 1.11.1 (debian woody).

I wanted to test version 1.12.9 on my local machine through pserver, but I got
an exception when I did the update:

Roel, could you follow the steps in this URL to get a trace of the 
communications between the server and client.

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-vcm-
home/docs/online/cvs_features2.0/cvs-faq.html#misc_0

This will should us what the rlog command is getting from the server. Ideally, 
if you could do it for both extssh and pserver, we could more easily pinpoint 
the difference.

P.S. I'm moving this to the REMIND bucket to await your respone.

Comment 9 Roel Spilker 2005-01-10 09:35:44 EST

Trace logs for both pserver and extssh created.

Comment 12 Michael Valenta 2005-01-10 11:03:42 EST

The problem is that your two repositories are different versions. The rlog 
command is using an option (-S) trhat is supported in 1.11.5 (your pserver 
repository) but not is 1.11.1p1 (your extssh repository). If you want to use 
change logs with your extssh repository, you will need to upgrade it. YOu 
probably should anyway since there have been important security fixes made in 
the latest 1.11 releases.

Comment 13 Sylvain Pasche 2005-01-10 11:42:06 EST

Does it make sense let the client have knowledge of the remote cvs version, and
adapt its parameter accordingly ?

Actually, I have to work with some remote cvs servers, and I don't have the
ability to tell the admin to update them. I think this problem could happen to
other people too.

Or why not have a check on the cvs remote version (maybe at startup), and warn
the user that he should update its version, to prevent problems (and to avoid
people filling bugzilla with duplicates of this bug) ?

Comment 14 Michael Valenta 2005-01-10 14:00:54 EST

What you suggest makes sense bot involves a fair amount of work. We do not 
have the manpower to do this (unless you want to provide a patch;-).

Comment 15 Roel Spilker 2005-01-13 04:46:00 EST

Upgrading from 1.11.1p1 to 1.11.5 worked. Thank you for your suggestion. 

The reason we still used 1.11.1p1 is that that is the version provided with  
Debian stable.
