Subject: [9fans] Beginner question on how to change owner of files in fossil
Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 17:39:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70932acbc88446992618f774550f1e24@tombob.com> (raw)
Hi,
some time ago I upgraded my machines from kfs to fossil/venti using
the homegrown kernel (as described on the wiki page, this was before
the fossil/conf times) that uses a fossil without srv -AWP support.
In order to do a pull from sources, I created a special admin user,
who is a member of the sys group.
So, obviously, lots of new files that I have pulled subsequently are
now owned by my admin user. And this leads to those annoying "cannot
change attributes" messages during pulls. I have now rebuilt my
kernel using the latest, greatest fossil.
What is the most straightforward way of reverting all files owned by
my admin user to sys? I have so far attempted doing just a pull, this
has no effect, bar giving me the usual warning. I have attempted a
pull -s, which has absolutely no effect whatsoever, doesn't pull
anything as far as I can tell. I have attempted removing the
offending files, but a pull only reports that it won't update "locally
removed files", and an explicit pull -s of an explicit deleted file
has no effect at all (again).
Any ideas?
Do I have to build a special purpose fossil that allows srv -AWPp?
Thank you very much in advance,
Robby
PS I am having difficulties using the pcf and pccpuf kernels, but I
haven't yet played around enough to figure out what I might be doing
wrong. I just get a screen full of lots of 80...=something and a dump
of the registers. I'll play some more.
