Hi Folks!
I need a little help from a CVS guru in creating a CVS module.
The repository has this directory structure:
CVSROOT/dir1/fileA
CVSROOT/dir2/fileB
CVSROOT/dir3/fileC
What I want to be able to do is:
cvs co modname
and get all the files from the 3 directories in the same working
directory, like:
/modname/fileA
/modname/fileB
/modname/fileC
Anyone got any ideas?
I have found that symbolic links work well. Given your example:
CVSROOT/dir1/fileA
CVSROOT/dir2/fileB
CVSROOT/dir3/fileC
CVSROOT/modname/fileA -> ../dir1/fileA
CVSROOT/modname/fileB -> ../dir1/fileB
CVSROOT/modname/fileC -> ../dir1/fileC
I have not actually tried the above, I usually use links for deep
linking.
Cheers,
