CVS Attic question
I am using the woody release of CVS and I have two quick questions regarding setup. Is there a way to disable CVS using the Attic? When files are removed, I wish they would be deleted instead of moved. How can I enable a nightly tar/compress of the entire cvsroot? Thanks in advance. -- :wq Matthew Daubenspeck http://www.oddprocess.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When files are removed, I wish they would be deleted instead of moved. The problem with this approach is that it prevents you (or anyone else) from checking out a complete version of the source from 3 months ago. cvs is designed to maintain a complete history of the project, and that means keeping copies of things that are no longer there. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
