[Anthill] Bug in PVCS or Anthill (with the version file)?

[Rob Stark]

Hi There,
I recently installed the latest version of Anthill OS and hooked up my project to use the PVCS version manager repository (on a Windows 2000 server).  I followed the instructions and searched the web on the following, and it appears the issue has been talked about once before but no solution was ever mentioned.  I'm hoping maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

During a build of Anthill (1.8.??), the code is successfully downloaded from the PVCS repository.  Anthill next check's out the version file to read the file and update it.  Anthill next tries to check the file in but fails to do so.  I'm fairly certain that the reason had to do with the fact that PVCS is requiring a description (or a comment) for the change to the file being checked in.

Is there a way to resolve this descrepency for anthill?  I'm thinking I might need to setup a config file for PVCS to disable this feature or provide some kind of (PVCS default) evironmenn variable on the server, that will either allow me to disable the comment being required or pass in a generic comment.  I don't yet know how to resolve the issue as the command line docuemntation for PVCS seems a little sketchy/criptic.

Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.  The error in the eror log suggests that anthill is unable to unlock the file and when I log into PVCS I see the .version file still locked.  Essentially the Anthill build process is frozen and never recovers.

Any help/guidance is appreciated.
Regards,

~Rob
