the data is all just text, though not really in a convenient format. something like: cat ~rancid/<group>/configs fgrep -r "<some text to match>" `cat CVS/Root`/`cat CVS/Respository format as you wish from there. It would be more complicated for svn or git, but this is a quick/dirty way for CVS. _______________________________________________ Rancid-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.shrubbery.net/mailman/listinfo/rancid-discuss
