SVN is extraordinary for these types of things. Combining Peter Briggs and Bill Scott's suggestion, perhaps one ideal solution would be SVN support built into ccp4i. However, in the meantime or that never happens, here is a script that might serve as a template if: #! /bin/csh -f cd

[ccp4bb] Merging CCP4i projects from two computers

2008-03-07 Thread Derek Logan
Hi everyone, I've been working on a project using CCP4i on two separate computers in parallel and now unfortunately have jobs spread over the two locations. I would now like to consolidate these. Some of the new jobs on one computer will have the same run number as different ones on the

NFS is alive and well (even on OS X 10.5), but having separate copies on different computers and/or an svn server has the additional merits of being a backup system and one you can use with computers that don't have static IPs. David J. Schuller wrote: Back in the good old days, we were able
