[rancid] Release Authorised CVS Problem

[Ryan West]

I think you can go to var/<name> and then run cvs checkout.

Hi Ryan,

I copied backup configs from our primary server. This is the backup.  I have since removed all the files as I wanted to start again.

There are no configs on this server anymore. I just need to ‘reset’ the CVS, I don’t mind if history is lost – just want it to work going forward.

Thanks!

Where did you copy the files from. Sounds like you missed the hidden directories.  Probably want to copy them or you'll lose all change information.

Hi all,

I copied some files and broke our rancid system because CVS obviously doesn’t like people messing with its files (that’s understandable).

So after lots of trying to fix the problem, I am resorting to asking you for help.

Where do I start?  rancid-cvs returns nothing (It produced output back in the day I set this up).

My logs say the following after a rancid-run.

Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.

cvs diff: in directory .:
cvs [diff aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first
cvs commit: in directory .:
cvs [commit aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first

ending: Wed Sep 25 13:42:54 BST 2013

(I have tried running ‘cvs checkout’ (and cvs add, and cvs remove and cvs update amongst others).

Any assistance gratefully received..

Thanks,
Sean.
