Cvs-version-popup

From PTAGISWiki

When StyleReport stores copies of its reports in CVS, it occasionally will get confused about which version of the report is the most recent. When this happens, it will launch a popup window asking which version of the report to display.

To prevent the popup, the CVS repository and SREE sandbox should be repaired so that the current version is unambiguous. The SREE sandbox on pitblade is at /dsk2/ptagis-1.0/web/sree/cvswd

Issuing "cvs -nq update" in that directory will create a list of files in the working directory that are different from their version in the repository.

"cvs update" will tell CVS to reconcile differences between the repository and the sandbox.

"cvs commit" will bring the sandbox and the repository into alignment.

A further "cvs -nq update" should show that there are no further differences, but there may be some files prefixed with a ? that indicate that they only exist in the sandbox, but not the repository. This seems to be a normal working condition.

If the popup condition persists, it can be resolved by editting cvsindex.xml in the sandbox. It describes the versions of the reports. Remove the references to the older versions, or mark them as deleted.
