I have created Soft Links in the Repository and is working fine for me from last ten months but now there are few requirements for hard links for which i was getting the problem I have found on the website http://www.cvshome.org that there are few problems with the hard links's preservepermisions which causes repository corruption Is it the same you are talking about, and should i continue with the soft links.

If you're talking about links in the repository, *DON'T DO IT* -- it completely subverts CVS's locking protocol and may well corrupt your repository. If you're talking about links in the working directory, you'll just have to modify your build process (e.g., a Makefile) to rebuild the links as needed. -Larry Jones The surgeon general should issue a warning about playing with girls. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
