Re: Resync problems

Hi Eric,

'cvs rdiff' used to be broken on collab CVS server (haven't checked it 
lately but I think it's still the case). The CWS tooling including 
'cwsresync' depends on it. Luckily there is a workaround: use 
'/shared/data/helm/cvs/repository' instead of '/cvs' as part of your 
CVSROOT when using 'cvs rdiff'.

This is what the message from cwsresync is all about. You need a second 
entry in your '.cvspass' with with just '/cvs' after the last colon 
replaced with '/shared/data/helm/cvs/repository'. Depending on your 
exact setup the server name may vary (ie. localhost for a tunnel).

My suggestion: edit '.cvspass', copy the line to the OOo server and 
replace the last part of the copied line as mentioned.
