Arash,
You are correct, CVS will not allow you to have files from different trees
in one directory, however the following structure is possible:
toplevel/README
/A
or
toplevel/README
/B
modules file can look like that:
readme -l -d . . README
projectA -a topmk A
projectB -a topmk B

Subject: how to factorise files
Hello,
I have two modules that share some files.
For example module A/ and B/ that share a
README file.
I would like to manage the README file in one place,
for example in a special module C/
So my CVS structure looks like:
$CVSROOT/A/ ... and all its files ...
/B/ ... and all its files ...
/C/README (plus other files)
It seams that I can not create a checked out
module composed of A/ and all its files, put the
C/README file, but placed at the top of the
checked out A/:
checkedoutA/ ... and all its files ...
/README
and checkedoutB/ ... and all its files ...
/README
Working with ampersand modules, I can only create
a top module that contains in 2 separate subdirectories
A/ and all of its files and C/ with the README file:
topmoduleA/A/ ... and all its files ...
C/README
topmoduleB/B/ ... and all its files ...
C/README
Am I right to thing that CVS does not allow the kind of
Check out I am trying to do?
Let me know if you have experience with this. I will
appreciate any input.
MAny thanks in advance,
Arash.
