[Wine] TortoiseCVS

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Hi,

        I'm trying to use TortoiseCVS under Linux (through Wine).

        I'd like to eventually write some shell scripts to invoke it
properly from Nautilus but that is still a ways off.

	Some of Tortoise's functionality works, like enumerating the code
modules in the CVS repository.

	However, actually checking out code works for the first file but then
fails:

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Checking out in c:\temp - TortoiseCVS
In c:\temp: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" -q checkout -P .
CVSROOT=:pserver:jgervais at cvsserver:/usr/local/cvsroot

U 64KB_FF.dat
cvs [checkout aborted]: unable to remove c:\windows\temp
\cvsnt-2.5.03.2260-jeancg-wks1-e475828b20f03-small.dmp.gz: Bad address

Error, CVS operation failed

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

While the checkout window is up, another window pops up over it
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
CVSNT has crashed
Unfortunately CVSNT has crashed. A crash report file will automatically
be sent to the cvsnt.org web reporting service. Please check your event
log for further details.

As I wrote above, Tortoise DOES in fact checkout the very first file!

In the checkout directory, the first file is there along with a CVS
subdirectory that contains
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 jgervais jgervais  0 Dec  6 12:03 Entries

Here is the transcript of what the Wine program reports during the
session:
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Torsten Martinsen (author of TortoiseCVS) analyzed this and believes
that the problem may be caused by the two unimplemented functions
NtQueryEaFile and NtSetEaFile which he reports are both called directly
by the CVSNT client Tortoise invokes to do the checkout.

Is there a workaround?
I would really love to be able to use this application from Linux.

Thank you for all your hard work and help.
