This is awesome! I created a perl script to automate this process. hope it helps:

use Expect;
sub addFiles {

my ($ip, $user, $pass, $dir, $cvsPass ) = @_;
my $exp = new Expect;
$self->{_ExpHnd} = $exp;

$exp->raw_pty(1);
$exp->spawn("ssh $ip\r");
$exp->expect(15,"password: ");
$exp->send("$pass\r");
$exp->expect(15,"# ");
$exp->send("cd $dir\r");
$exp->expect(15,"# ");
#add Directory
$exp->send("find . -type d -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -n1 cvs add\r");
$exp->expect(10,
[ qr/password: /, sub { my $self = shift;
$exp->send("$cvsPass\r");
exp_continue; }],
"# ");
#add Files
$exp->send("find . -type f -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -n1 cvs add\r");
$exp->expect(10,
[ qr/password: /, sub { my $self = shift;
$exp->send("$cvsPass\r");
exp_continue; }],
"# ");
#Commit should be done manually to ensure that user will add logs.
print "All files in $dir has been added to module. Please commit Files.";
return $exp;

}

addFiles('192.168.1.1','username','password','/home/user/FOLDER','cvspassword');

THANKS :*

slight modification for non-unix type file/dir names (aka with spaces)

find . -type d -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -ifoo cvs add "foo"
find . -type f -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -ifoo cvs add "foo"

I think so ....

Happy, not being the only one still using cvs.
Great hint!

Sweet, I use this all the time.

-iregex is a gnu find only extension (as is -!, use \! instead), and really unnecessary since -iname \*CVS\* is the same as the .*CVS.* regex

sorry copy the wrong line :)

find . -type f -! -iregex ".*CVS.*" -exec cvs add {} \;

kinda the same solutions but w/o so much wasted pipes ;-)

find . -type d -! -name CVS -! -name '.' -exec cvs add {} \;
find . -type f -! -name CVS -! -name '.' -exec cvs add {} \;

Be aware that the command uses "grep" and you might have grep aliased to some command lines. For example, as a programmer, I find this useful:

alias grep='grep -n -i --color=auto'

However, it fails the above commands. So you have to type "unalias grep" first.

I love it.

Thanks!

thank you, thank you, thank you. awesome.

Thanks guys this is just what I needed. Don't have eclipse setup on my mac. :(

Thanks, this is fantastic

It did not work for me as specified under bash on OS X, I had to use the following, and note the -n1 parameter for xargs:

find . -type d -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -n1 cvs add
find . -type f -print | grep -v CVS | xargs -n1 cvs add

the -n1 ensures that cvs add is called only for a single file each time. That's required because while cvs add can be called with a number of files as argument, if one of the arguments "aborts" the add, the others won't be added. I found that to happen with the first line which adds the directories. If a directory is already there, cvs add aborts instead of just skipping it like it does with files.

So it would do a cvs add dir1 dir2 dir3, but because dir1 was already in the repository, it would not add dir 2 and 3. I am not sure it's required for files, but it can't hurt.

It is really a great solution. Thanks a lot for reducing my work.
