Theme update: CVS problems
Lioz - March 18, 2008 - 15:48
recently i ran into several problems while triyng to update my theme to the drupal repository.
I'm using tortoise cvs on windows xp.
When i update a file and then i try to commit the changes i receive this message
cvs commit: sticky tag `DRUPAL-6--1-5' for file `style.css' is not a branch
when i try to add a file i receive this message
cvs add: cannot add file on non-branch tag `DRUPAL-5--1-0'
what i'm missing?
thanks in advance
Put it in the trunk or a branch
I've not used that particular repository, but with CVS you can't normally add straight to the root folder. There is normally a trunk folder where the main version goes and another folder called branches (or branch) that contains several sub versions that may be being developed at the same time. Sometimes a branch will be used for community contributions. Each branch will have its own folder in the branches folder.
See if there is a folder called trunk inside the repository. If you can't add straight to the trunk you might have to commit to a folder inside the branches folder. It could also be that you don't have commit rights for the repository, but I would expect a different error message for that.
Hope that helps.
