OK, I finally got around to getting cvs working on my IMAP server.
So, theoretically I should be ready to put my .bbdb into cvs. I'm
somewhat familiar with cvs. I have already created another repository
for a set of html files. My question is how this should work from the
cvs client perspective. If I have a new package called dotfiles and
cvs get it, I will have ~/dotfiles/. Do I then symlink all my actual
dotfiles in ~/ to the copies in ~/dotfiles/? Also, do I put in my
..login (or whatever) to always do a cvs update? Or do you manually do
the cvs update any time you know the files have changed. The .bbdb is
likely to change frequently, I would like some way to automatically
make sure that I have the latest .bbdb in my working home dir.
Also, about emerge. I tried it for the first time the other day. I
usually use ediff. However, they both produced the same results.
Basically, they just wanted to replace one entire .bbdb with the
other. It didn't try to match up specific entries at all; even after
I sorted them. Does this work better when the two files are more
similar?
