[rancid] CVS

[Brad M]

I had emailed yesterday and got the example of how to create a diff using
svn. I use cvs and tried replacing the svn for cvs and get an error.

cvs diff -r{2015-05-01}:{2015-05-30} | mail rancid-Public


but getting "Can't parse date/time"

The goal is to run a report for last month.

?The man page is your friend:

-D date_spec

Use the most recent revision no later than date_spec. date_spec is a single argument, a date description
specifying a date in the past.


<rant>Office 365 however is not my friend. My apologies for whatever weird formatting comes across</rant>


Try something like:


cvs diff -D "1 month ago" -U 5 yourDeviceName


which gives you a cumulative what's changed between then & now.


Regards,

Lee
