I am now using CVS to download Drupal and contributed modules. The first thing I noticed was the lack of version numbers in all modules except core. I found in this forum that I should now be using CVS Deploy. So I downloaded and installed it.
But in the docs, I did't see an explanation for how to run it (if there is, indeed, something that needs to run). Is it just supposed to automatically make the version numbers appear on the modules page? Or is there something I need to do?
TIA

There is nothing to do-- it just works when installed and enabled.
Mine's not working...
I see. So do you have any clue as to why mine isn't working?
I'm on Druapl 6.14... CVS Deploy 1.3.

Not really-- maybe update to the dev version, run update.php, and then run cron. Does cron complete without errors? What does the available updates reports page show?
Results...
I haven't tried the dev version yet, but here's the answers to your other questions...
I ran update anyway (even though I didn't install dev version yet). It ran 0 of 0 (duh!).
cron ran successfully.
My Update Status module was turned off coz it creates a *drastic* slow down on ALL my admin pages. So I enabled it and checked the Available Updates report. This is what it showed...
And on the Modules page, the only version info showing is for Drupal core. All other modules have blank versions.

What happens when you click "check manually"?
I get an errror message...
I get the following error message...
That's in a red message box above what I showed in the previous post. I assume that it's because there is no version information in my site, so it can't compare to version info online. The wording makes it sound like it just can't connect to the link it uses to check versions, but my connection is working fine (as evidenced by my ability to read and reply in this thread).
And, btw WorldFallz, thanks for your quick replies today. The help is very much appreciated. I'm going to try the dev version now and see what that does.

Ah.... that explains it. That explains both why update status is so slow and why cvs_deploy doesn't work. Both modules need to communicate with drupal.org to do their thing. Though you deploy from cvs so you must have access. Is the site in off-line mode perchance? If so, i think you need to place online for those modules to do their thing.
I think this functionality depends on having curl installed. Otherwise there's like a gazillion posts on this issue:

Maybe one of them holds the answer?
and you're welcome ;-)
More info?
I read many of those threads and they mostly seem to refer to IP addresses being blacklisted.
I think you may be on the right track re: curl.
Can you give me more info on that?
Do I just need to enable the php_curl extension?
Is there something else I need to do also (or instead)?

I tried php_curl
I uncommented:
extension=php_curl.dll
in my php.ini file and made sure the php_curl.dll is in the ext folder, but when I restart WAMP, php_curl is not "enabled" in the list.
Do you know if there is there something else that is required for it to work?

Curl working - didn't fix problem.
Ok, after three or four tries, I got the php_curl extension enabled. (don't know why it didn't work the first time)
But that didn't fix the problem. Do I need to DL and install curl (or libcurl) instead of the php extension?

Any thoughts?
I got php_curl enabled (in PHP), and the CVS Deploy module is enabled in Drupal, but still no versions (other than core) on the modules page.
Any additional thoughts on what to check or try?... Anyone?

As long as you still receive that message when you check for updates, this won't work. I'm out of ideas-- I would browse some of the threads in the search I linked above and see what worked for some others.
