Hi, I am confronted with the following situation:
I am using an open source program ( blender3d.org ) which I am updating from the cvs sources on a regular basis. I am also experimenting with the sources, writing some extra functionality myself. Some of this functionality I would like to commit to the project in form of patches; some is experimental and not of interest to anybody else. To me it seems, as if the ideal solution to this situation would be some kind of hierarchy of branches of the original sources. The hierarchy could reflect the dependencies between my modifications. I could select which modifications I want in an instance of the program, they could be easily applied to new source versions and easily be isolated and committed to the project in form of emailed patches. The problem is: I (of course) do not have the right to create branches on the central cvs server... Here my question: Is it possible to configure a local cvs sub-server to manage branches of a project trunk located on a remote cvs server? I believe that most people working on patches for open source software are in the same kind of situation and that there probably exist an easy solution to this problem. Still I couldn't find any article / posting explaining who to proceed... Thanks for any answer, best wishes, Dietrich _________________________________________________________________________ Mit der Gruppen-SMS von WEB.DE FreeMail können Sie eine SMS an alle Freunde gleichzeitig schicken: http://freemail.web.de/features/?mc=021179 _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
