[Gnu-arch-users] cscvs on debian stable

[Milan Cvetkovic]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask questions about cscvs.

I tried to install cscvs on Debian stable without success.

I suspect that the big part of my problems is that I do not have any 
knopwledge of configuring, installing or running anythiing in python.

So here is what I did:

Debian stable comes with python2.1, and KDE requires it.

python2.2 is also available as stable,
python2.2-sqlite is not available for stable Debian, and
libsqlite0 2.8.3 is not available for stable Debian

- I installed stock Debian stable python2.2:
   /usr/bin/python is symbolic link to /usr/bin/python2.1
   /usr/bin/python2.2 exists
- I also installed python2.2-dev
- I downlaoded source for libsqlite0 built
   and installed it in /usr/local (configure/make/make install)
- and python-sqlite:
   python2.2 setup.py build
   su
   python setup.py install
- I downlaoded cscvs into ~/cscvs, and made symbolic link in my path
  as described in cscvs README.

Now I follow the instuctions from
 http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs

~$ mkdir -p ~/arch/projectname; cd ~/arch/projectname
~/arch/projectname$ tla archive-setup projectname--branch--1.0
~/arch/projectname$ tla init-tree projectname--branch--1.0

~/arch/projectname$ cd ~; mkdir cvs; cd cvs
~/arch/projectname$ cvs co projectname

~/arch/projectname$ cd ~/cvs/projectname
~/cvs/projectname$ cscvs cache -b
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/milanc/bin/cscvs", line 39, in ?

    import StorageLayer
  File "/home/milanc/cscvs/modules/StorageLayer.py", line 235
    yield branch
               ^

Any help would be appreciated.

Yhanks, Milan.
