auctex: problems creating a branch

Uwe Brauer writes: I think you've probably tried this in a pserver (anonymous) checkout. Nobody has permission to check in by pserver, only by ext. Anyway, I just successfully created the branch for you. Try checking it out into a fresh directory with cvs checkout -r auctex-11_84-import auctex If that works, you will get a checkout of the 1.48 version (ie, AUCTeX 11.55). You can then 1. copy the AUCTeX 11.84 files on top of this directory, making new subdirectories as needed 2. use cvs add * in each directory to add the appropriate files, 3. use cvs remove -f FILE FILE ... to remove unneeded files You don't need to do anything about empty directories (they will still have the CVS directory in them), CVS will handle them itself. 4. do "ls -R correct-AUCTeX-11.84 new-auctex-directory | sort | uniq -u" which will tell you if there are any files you forgot to copy or remove 5. do "less `find . -name Entries`" and check that all files there have the right T tag on them (paranoia...) 6. if everything seems OK, do "cvs commit -m 'Import AUCTeX 11.84'" 7. if you have any empty directories and they don't disappear automatically, try "cvs update -dP" and they should. Don't panic if something doesn't seem right; version control means being able to recover from pretty much any mistake. (Of course any mistake you make will also be preserved eternally in the records. :) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
