Suggestions: - If possible, use rtag instead of tagging a local sandbox. - Add a 'remove -> check removal -> fail if removal failed' sequence to your build. - Also, if possible create a new directory for each build (e.g. revision or timestamp). Then create a cleaner that removes outdated builds (or do the ol' rm -rf/deltree thing manually). > > thanks > > steve > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Info-cvs mailing list > Info-cvs@nongnu.org > http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs > Cheers, --Russ _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
