Removing/Deleting Repositories
In that this is my first time using CVS I have set up a repository and then deleted it because I have found that I wanted a different directory structure. My reasoning for this is that I am trying to make development and deployment as easy and automated as possible. We are maintaining web code (Cold Fusion) on a Solaris box. We are developing and testing on the same machine. I have a live test directory, which is the htdocs directory under the Apache Install, and have working directories set up under each developer's home directory. I think that I have the directory structure that I want now, and I am using export to populate the $WEBROOT (htdocs) from the repository, so it is fairly easy to update the Live site. My two questions (sorry for the long intro) 1. Is there a better way to remove a repository then rm -Rf ? This seems to cause missing file links in the OS and requires me to do fsck on reboot. 2. When I run the export command from my htdocs folder it doesn't update the subdirectories, I have had to rm everything under htdocs and then do an export. I am a little uneasy about doing all of these rm's. Any best practices or suggestions will be much appreciated. Brad Tumy Pragmatics, Inc.

I would not recommend running anything of any importance whatsoever on such an unreliable system. 2.

That's what update is for. -Larry Jones I don't like these stories with morals. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
deleting repositories
Two questions: (cvs server and client are two different machines). 1. I created a repository using cvs import, from the client. Now I want to a) remove this repository or b) make this repository obsolete. How can this be done from a client. I couldnt find in the archives or manuals. 2. Same questions with deleting a directory(not a repository). Archives suggest a)using cvs remove or b)using rm -rf on the server. The second method is not useful to me as I do not have access to the server. Also, I cant make a directory obsolete by removing them from the repository. __ Do You Yahoo!?
