Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: CVS conundrums with 5.2

It's strange that you get the date which you updated the files. When I do a cvs update I the timestamp is the date which the programmer committed his changes.

If you less the organizations.info file I'm sure you'll see one file containing a bunch of references to .5d3 and the other to .6d1.

Do you have local changes to the organizations package which might be causing conflicts when you run the update command?

I'm not an expert with CVS so I'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting the most recent version if you have checked out the 5.2 branch.

No local changes that I'm aware of.  But the one that is up to date is a slightly older install.  It's interesting to look at the two files.  The older install, jefferson, looks normal, but the newer one, clara, looks like some odd cruft got added in during the merge.

And as the patch on jefferson is not one that cvs likes, cvs refetches rather than updates the file...  Yep, that's it, the update patch looks like it wasn't in just the right state.  So I've got a manual merge indication from clara in the organizations.info file, viz:

I've got to manually update the file, and then figure out what's wrong with my cvs, as I didn't get a warning.

Thanks!
Cheers!
