Matt, The location to/from which you export/import is arbitrary. CVS will
complain during an export if there are files already there so you should
probably clean out the directory before or after each export/import. The web
gui should bassically be a form that users can enter the parameters that you
intend to pass into ant, in your case: a menu to select a project from, and
perhaps a tag to specify. The form should do an http post to a perl script,
a java servlet, or even a shell script that simply gets the parameters
entered by the user and kicks off an ant process with the given parameters.
Make sense?

Robert,
That really gives some direction.

The two repository locations rest on the same machine.

Now tell me one thing, when a project is exported from a repository does it
has to be placed/ exported to some temporary location first and to be then
imported to the second repository.

And regarding the perl-cgi thing that you mentioned, I have never worked
with that and am more into java. Can you give some direction as to what that
perl-cgi thing should present/do, I'll then either learn that or try to
write similar stuff in java.

Thanks in advance

matt

Matt, You might use the <cvs> task to export from one repository, and import
to the other.

  <cvs command="export"
       dest="temp"
       quiet="true"
       failonerror="true"
       output="cvs_${cvs.module}_export.log"
       cvsRoot="${cvs.root_1}"
       cvsRsh="${cvs.rsh}"
       tag="${tag}"
       package="${cvs.module}"/>

  <cvs command="import"
       dest="temp"
       quiet="true"
       failonerror="true"
       output="cvs_${cvs.module}_import.log"
       cvsRoot="${cvs.root_2}"
       cvsRsh="${cvs.rsh}"
       tag="${tag}"
       package="${cvs.module}"/>

If the two repositories are on different machines you will need to <tar> and
<scp> the archive to the other machine, and use sshexec to do the cvs
import. As for the GUI... Write a perl cgi script and give users a web
interface. This has saved me from having to come into the office many
weekends.

Hi Folks,

I had posted this issue several days ago and as expected people found it as
weird as I think it is. But I have no other option but to tackle it somehow
cause the boss wants it. Here is the issue:

I am required to somehow use Ant to transfer a project from one CVS
repository location to another.  Like from development CVS repository to
deployment CVS repository. Also first I have to come up with some kinda GUI
to enable users to select the projects to transfer. I know this is not a
good way of using CVS but I would appreciate any ideas you guys have
regarding how to do that.

And I can't change the boss :-)

Matt

Subject: file size task 

Hi there,

i wrote a little task to save information about a file as properties because
i didn't want use the script capability every time i need the filesize or
so. Well the design is not that good but it should to the 
task. I thought maybe someone could use it or tell me how to improve it 
(or tell me that it's already implemented elsewhere).

So if you want to take a glance:
http://www.f4.fhtw-berlin.de/~s0507007/fileinfo.html

cheers,

chris
