CVS version info missing from module list
mpaler - January 26, 2008 - 01:10
Hope this is the correct place for this question...
Using 5.6 -- attempting to install modules directly from CVS using drupal handbook published commands:
cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r DRUPAL-5--1-0 -d moduleName contributions/modules/moduleNameAnd module version number info is missing from the admin panel module list...
I'm getting the modules fine -- (can turn them on an off). Ran update, and no joy. Version column is empty.
Any body else experiencing this?

CVS Deploy or Use "export" instead of "checkout"
You need to use the CVS Deploy module when you checkout modules from CVS in order for for the module versions to display: http://drupal.org/project/cvs_deploy.
Alternatively, you can use the speed of command line checking out but not include the versioning files in the download. In that case, replace the word "export" with the word "checkout". In that case you won't need to install CVS Deploy.
For upgrading modules -- assuming you haven't edited the module files -- just delete the module and export the new version.

How does it work???
So how does CVS Deploy work exactly? I downloaded it (from the CVS repo) and installed it. But I still have no versions showing on my modules page (except for core and my custom modules) and when I run the Available Updates report, it says:
I couldn't find any additional menu options related to CVS deploy. Am I missing something?
