Bonsoir!

I have a CVS repository on REPOSERVER.DOMAIN.COM. I want to be able to track when a user on APPSERVER.DOMAIN.COM exports a file.

The idea here is that on a home grown application we want a record in CVS of the deployment to an application server. We don't want the APP server's files to be under CVS control so we export the files instead of checking them out.

The procedure is:

1. Delete the file you wish to upgrade (because CVS will not overwrite).
2. Export the file from CVS to replace the lost file.


Here's some output and you'll note that at the end that there is no record of the exported data. I ran the following commands today (1/5/09) and the cvs history doesn't show a record. Further, /home/cvs/cvsroot/CVSROOT/history was not updated after my export.e

dennisc@APPSERVER:/home/dennisc/test> rm ./hgapp/procedures/audit_log.sql
dennisc@APPSERVER:/home/dennisc/test> export CVSROOT=:ext:dennisc@REPOSERVER.:/home/cvs/cvsroot
dennisc@APPSERVER:/home/dennisc/test> export CVS_RSH=ssh
