This is a build issue that falls outside CVS' scope. But if you want code reuse at the source level, you can use modules. If you want code reuse at the library level, build a baseline and refer to it in your build process. You can build references using environment variables, symlinks, buildrefs

I would be astonished if this were true. You'd have to replicate /bin, /usr/bin, /etc, /lib, /usr/lib, /etc, /usr/local, /include, /usr/include, /dev, and a whole lot of other stuff to make it work at all. And even then, stuff like ps still won't work properly. --- Forwarded mail from [EMAIL PRO

We run pserver on a machine behind a firewall and access with redirected ports with ssh. Someone posted on this list a cookbook ssh command to do so... ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 2401:host.whatever.com:2401 Then set your CVSROOT to point to localhost. Works. Steve On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 10:51,

I'm writing a script to merge files from one branch (src) to another (dst). If a file has never been merged between the two, then the command "checkout -r dst -j src fyle" should checkout the file on the dst branch and then merge the changes from the tip of the src branch into it. If this merge

A chroot environment is only good at containing what's inside it. It does not prevent access to the chroot environment from outside. In other words, chroot is fine for containing servers so that they cannot access the rest of the system. But chroot does not protect something from shell users, un
