Hi guys
At e.g. http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/cvsmanual/cvsignore.html
we see that CVS has a default set of patters for ignoring files;
RCS SCCS CVS CVS.adm
RCSLOG cvslog.*
tags TAGS
.make.state .nse_depinfo
*~ #* .#* ,* _$* *$
*.old *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej .del-*
*.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.exe
*.Z *.elc *.ln
core
I have a project, where I need CVS to also consider .so-files.
How is it possible to unlearn/change the default ignore patterns?
Either in the distribution side or in user land...
At least in the versions I've used I don't know if there is a way to do
that. You can override the default ignore list for cvs import operations
with:
cvs import -I !
I think for non-import operations you are going to have to trust your
users to add the .so files without the prompting of the CVS with ? lines
in the cvs update output.
You could build yourself a custom version with a different built in
ignore list without too much difficulty if that becomes a problem.
