CVS rlog command in Linux
 

Hi all

What command should i use to get the "Comment/s" a user provided while committing/checkin a file in a repository.

For ex:
I have the following files with versions:

/mnt/cvs/abd-cvsroot/module1/module1_file1.java - Version: 1.4.1.8
/mnt/cvs/abd-cvsroot/module2/module2_file3.java - Version: 1.10

Now lets suppose while committing/checkin the above two files for their respective versions as shown above, user gave the following comment.

For file: module1_file1.java
Comment: "Updated file1 in module1 for 2012 deadline, charge itself".

For file: module2_file3.java
Comment: "Updated file3 in module2 to start beeping after 2012 Dec 20
using motion technology".

Now, what command should I fire to see only the comment of module1_file1.java for version 1.4.1.8 and similar for module2_file3.java file.


Is there any direct command to specify the version no. while using "rlog" ????


Thanks

One wierd way is to run the following:

1) export CVSROOT=:pserver:username:passwd@cvs_repo_server:/mnt/cvs/abc-cvsroot
2) cvs login
3) Run the following command:

cvs rlog module1_file1.java | sed -n "/revision 1.20.4.5.2.43.10.123.4.8/,/----------------------------/ p"| sed "s/----------------------------//" | tac | tr -d '\012'| sed 's/\(date: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9] [0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]. author.*$\)/\n\n\1\n/'


But, I wanted to get the same by running ... rlog command i.e.

cvs rlog -r1.20.4.5.2.43.10.123.4.8 /mnt/cvs/abc-cvsroot/module1/module1_file1.java


or use -v1.20.4.5.2.43.10.123.4.8 option if -r is only for tags/branch tags/labels

If giga variable contains the version of the file as a value. then the following command at $ prompt in Linux/Unix will only show the comment.

cvs rlog common/source/Configuration/ctp.properties | sed -n "/revision ${giga}/,/----------------------------/ p" | sed "s/----------------------------//;/^revision.*$/d;/^$/d" | tac | sed '/^date: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9] [0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]. author.*$/d'

Himanshu Ali Ashok Azad - C12201221: WebSphere 7.0 upgrade - correct Startup Pool Size

or try the following:

cvs rlog common/source/Configuration/ctp.properties | sed -n "/revision ${giga}/,/----------------------------/ p" | sed "s/----------------------------//;/^revision.*$/d;/^$/d;/^date: [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9] [0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]. author.*$/d"
