[cvsnt] Re: ViewVC 1.0.0 and CVSNT 2.5.03.2260 cooperation

[Oliver Koltermann]

Hello again,

in addition to my last posting I found out what's causing my trouble
with ViewVC. Opposite to what I first thought I now revealed that it's
a completly different problem. After digging into the python backtrace
and stuffing some debug prints into the code I extracted the point,
where ViewVC gives up:

We use special branches with revision number "1" to mark special
groups of files. Maybe this is not necessary anymore, now that CVSNT
has alias branches. But for very long time we use this command to
create the special branch number:

   cvs admin -nfilegroup:1 file1 file2 file3

After that we can adress this group of files by the special branch
name "filegroup", but get the MAIN branch of these files.

Is the same procedure possible with alias branches? Can I define an
alias branch to MAIN? And what number is this branch assigned then?
(ViewVC thinks a revision number with a single component is broken.)

I hope someone can help me with this problem.


Best regards,
O. Koltermann
