--- Begin Message ---Package: tla Version: 1.2-4 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if tla recordkeeping operations would not write to the project tree. The files and dirs starting with .arch-ids, ,, ++ created by tla should be created in {arch} or completely outside the project tree (based on an environment variable or command line switch for example). This makes tracking changes in read-only trees more easy. My case is that /etc and /usr/local is tracked by the security administrator. The security policy is such that the security administrator can read in the tracked directories, but cannot modify. I can assign some dirs to the secadm (did it with {arch} and all .arch-ids dirs (the later was horrible), but cannot do that with yet nonexistent files (stopped in commit time because the archive wanted to be created in project tree root. this will be the same with pristine trees). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.23-rsbac Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages tla depends on: ii diff 2.8.1-6 File comparison utilities ii gawk 1:3.1.4-1.2 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libneon24 0.24.7.dfsg-0.2 An HTTP and WebDAV client library ii patch 2.5.9-2 Apply a diff file to an original -- no debconf information
