[cvsnt] Newbie Question about cvswrappers and similar files

[Chuck Kirschman]

When you check out the cvswrappers file, it will use the cvswrappers,v
file as a repository.  When you check it back in, cvs will automatically
extract the head revision into the cvswrappers file.  So you should
ignore the files in CVSROOT on the server, and only access them by
checking them out and modifying them.

Subject: [cvsnt] Newbie Question about cvswrappers and similar files


Just double-checking how this works before I do something stupid ...
 
I just set up a cvs server using sspi and a successfully logged into it
with a client.   I am now considering fine tuning options.   I want to
customize the server by making modifications to files like cvswrappers.
I notice that there are three versions of it in the CVSROOT.    
 
.#cvswrappers
cvswrappers
cvswrappers, v
 
I know that the "cvswrappers, v" is the source file that I will need to
check out, modify and check back in.   That does not, however, put my
changes to the server in place to "take affect", correct ?   I assume
that one of the other two files is the one that requires
editing/replacing to make my changes effective.
 
Can someone tell me what the difference is between these two files ?   I
have not come across that information anywhere yet.
 
Thanks.
 
Donna
