CVS

[Reinhard . Salchner2]

Hi,
first the good news: We (our department) switched from SCCS to CVS and are 
quite happy with CVS in regards of functionality, performance and reliability.
But - now the bad news - we encounterd two problems.

        - cvs unedit resets date and time to the original file date and time

          Enivironment:
                GNUmakefile controls compile and tar process

          Steps to repeat:
                cvs edit waferclass.h
                gmake 
                          CC ...
                cvs unedit waferclass.h
                gmake
                          gmake: Nothing to be done for `all'.

          Problem:
                cvs unedit restores original file date and time. 'gmake' does 
not
                recognize a file change.


        - cvs export removes entries from $CVSROOT/ModuleName/.../CVS/fileattr

          Environment:
                $CVSREAD is set; files are read-only

          Steps to repeat it:
                cvs edit GNUmakefile
                more $CVSROOT/devel_256d14/WAFPRO/CVS/fileattr
                        FGNUmakefile    _editors=salchner>Mon May  7 14:13:55

                cvs export -d MyDir -r MyReleaseTag RepositoryModule
                        more $CVSROOT/devel_256d14/WAFPRO/CVS/fileattr
                        .../devel_256d14/WAFPRO/CVS/fileattr: No such file or 
directory

          Problem:
                One of our repository modules is shared accross multiple 
projects. That means 
                if I edit files located in the shared module and get 
interrupted to package a project 
                (which uses a released version of the code in that shared 
repository module) 
                for distribution via cvs export the information on which files 
I work on in the
                shared source code module is lost to others.


We are using CVS version 1.10.

Do you see this as a bug? Will it be fixed at some time in the future?

Thanks a lot,
