Hi
Whenever I try to do a cvs update in Eclipse (V 3.1.1) I get the
following error:
!MESSAGE web: cvs [update aborted]: could not find desired version 1.5
in /home/smitherington/cvs_repos/apc/web/finfo.jsp,v

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or get around this so that I
can update my files and cvs files?

Sounds like the file was updated via a separate CVS session. If the version
in the repository is based on a newer one that your attempted checkin, CVS
rejects it.

If that's the issue, do a "cvs update" first, resolve the conflicts that
causes, then check in.

That didn't work, I get the same error when I try to update it.
However, it did set me on the path of something that did work.

I replaced my local file with the latest from cvs head, and then
replaced it with Previous from Local History. By doing this, it
assigned a newer cvs version to my local file and I can compare to
cvs, commit, etc.

Thsnks Lew!
