cvsignore and directories
hi, Is it possible to exclude whole directories via the .cvsignore mechanism? If yes, how? I've added the directory names to exclude to the .cvsignore file at the same point in the heirarchy as the directories I want ignored, but cvs still includes them. cheers Nathan ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Yes it's possible, but not after the fact. That is, if CVS saw the directory before you added it to .cvsignore, it won't ignore it unless you manually delete it from the CVS/Entries file. -Larry Jones I've changed my mind, Hobbes.

.cvsignore and directories
Hi, In one of the directories in our CVS tree we build executables which obviously we don't want to be committed in the tree. For example: . \- Translator \- Binaries.Linux.i386 Translator is in the tree, but Binaries is created by the makefiles. There is a .cvsignore file in Translator which contains the line "Binaries.*". However, when I run cvs update I get this: cvs update: in directory Binaries.Linux.i386: cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory Any ideas? Thanks, Ross Burton ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

If I recall, a file (or directory) being present in the repo trumps its being listed in .cvsignore. -- | | /\ |-_|/ Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | / With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
