CVS has hooks from what I can see.Yay. So after every commit we could set something up on the server to: Idea 1: 1) export the directory main directory (like apps/e) 2) make an archive of the export. Idea 2: The zip utility can update only a part of the archive that has changed. You could run something like zip -u e17 path/to/e17. I made a zip of the whole e17 module, changed a single file then ran update. It ran and updated everything in 11.5 seconds on my laptop. On your machine it could probably happen in less then 5. Again, you could combine this with the above and generate archives like apps_entrance.zip or whatever, which would update in less then a second. Thus, you could store just one version of the file at all times. People don't get confused with versions, they're always in sync with the repo and they can easily check if they're up to date with the help of md5 hashes. I could even write you some script which checks to see if a user is up to date and downloads the modified archives.
