Hello,

It's probably by fault. In fact, it's definitely my fault...
I think I managed to somehow ruin my CVS repository for the project "Drigg". Something went wrong, and now it won't allow me to commit anymore.
Can somebody from Infrastructure please upload this:

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/drigg.tgz

Into the project "drigg", which I own?

Thank you,

Merc.

Hi,

I think it's fixed.
(Or maybe somebody already fixed it?)

I managed to upload files, and CVS has stopped the erratic behaviour.
Can somebody maybe check that the "drigg" repo looks sane?

Thanks,

Merc.

Hi,

I am not sure how bad it is.
When I run an update, I get:
(Again, the Drigg repository)

[root@sys113 drigg]# cvs update -dP
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: Updating default_theme
cvs update: Updating default_theme/zen
cvs update: Updating default_theme/zen/zen-fixed
cvs update: Updating default_theme/zen_for_drigg
cvs update: Updating default_theme/zen_for_drigg/images
cvs update: Updating default_theme/zen_for_drigg/zen-fixed
[root@sys113 drigg]#

The only directories that should be on the server are default_theme, default_theme/zen_for_drigg and default_theme.zen_for_drigg/images - that's it.

Help?

Merc.

P.S.
I am still happy for somebody to use the original .tgz file

unfortunately, you can't remove directories from CVS once you've added them, unless you perform evil magic on the repository directly. the directories themselves are empty -- this is about the best we can do. i really don't think it's worth it to hack our repository to fix this.

more details on removing directories from CVS here: http://www.thathost.com/wincvs-howto/cvsdoc/cvs_7.html#SEC69

also, please take the time to read the relevant sections of http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs and, if you don't understand how to do something, _ask_ first, before you cause any damage ;) it's far easier to answer a question in three minutes than to spend three hours cleaning up a mess.

Hi,

Apologies for the mess...
Any chances of deleting drigg outright from CVS? The project is only new, it has NO releases, and I can re-upload it (doing it right...) in no time.

Thank you in advance and either way,

Merc.
