Re: recursive add
Hello,
an answer to an older post:

Maybe this question has been brought up before. Is
there a recursive add command in CVS?
I'm not sure what you mean with recursive add. Possibly, the following
commands might accomplish what you want to do:
$ cvs add `find . -type d`
$ cvs add `find . -type f`
(I expect you are running on a Unix box, or with Cygwin on Windows)
If there are too much files/directories, you might encounter problems
with the maximum line length of the shell interpreter. In this case,
replacing the second command with
$ find . -type f -exec cvs add \{\} \;
is a good replacement, neglecting the fact this this command will be
much slower for a remote repository.
HTH,
Spiro.

I did it in Meta-CVS. :) Of course, the problem you run into is that the directory may contain all kinds of files, some of which need to be treated as binary. WinCVS has a dialog box in its import GUI where can verify and change the disposition of each file. when i want to write this functionality by myself. where do i start? should i use tcl or python. are there tutorial concerning the integration in e.g. wincvs?! For the sake of keeping the WinCVS program consistent, you would probably want to do it in that program, perhaps reusing the code which gathers up the file suffixes and throws them into a dialog box. I do a similar thing in Meta-CVS; both the create command for makign a new module, and the add command interactively deal with file types. Now the problem is that cvs import and cvs add do not have the same interface for specifying keyword modes. In import, you specify a wildcard match on file suffixes, allowing you to express the idea that all *.png files are to be treated -kb. In cvs add, you do not have this; the keyword expansion mode you specify applies to all file arguments. In Meta-CVS the problem is solved by collating all of the files into buckets based on their expansion mode, and then issue a cvs add command (or several, if the command line is too long) for each bucket. -- Meta-CVS: solid version control tool with directory structure versioning. http://users.footprints.net/~kaz/mcvs.html http://freshmeat.net/projects/mcvs ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

You can do 'echo cvs add */*/*' to see what the actual command line is. Which means it probably won't work on the windows command line client.

Exactly. It could probably also be done by this one: $ cvs add $(find . -type d; find . -type f) or $ cvs add $(find . -print) - if find prints the directories before the files in them. I think it does. Both of the above will run into problems if there are too many files. Then the shell will complain about the maximum command line length. xargs will chop it up to avoid that. -- PGP signed and encrypted| .''`. |** Debian GNU/Linux ** messages preferred. | : :' : |By professionals, www.karl.jorgensen.com| \. `' |for professionals | `-| http://www.debian.org/ msg15568/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
