Have you tried using the -I parameter when adding? Somthing like this should do it:
cvs add -I*.gif -I*.html -I*.psd -I*.class Oh, wait a sec - you said you were using Eclipse, didn't you? OK, There's also a per-user cvsignore, which would be $HOME/.cvsignore. And, there's the $CVSIGNORE environment variable. Eclipse *should* respect these (or maybe something similar - check the Eclipse documentation). With each of these approaches, though, if there are multiple developers at your site with the same requirements, then each developer will have to replicate this work. This is error prone. I would hesitate putting *.gif and *.html (and possibly *.psd - I don't know what they are) into a global ignore file - it seems like too much of a "shotgun" approach. I would recommend that you bite the bullet and put a .cvsignore file in each directory. As for Eclipse ignoring the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore file, that might be a problem to report to Eclipse (unless you can also replicate that with the command-line client, in which case a bug report to bug-cvs@gnu.org would be appropriate). -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
