Title: Sharing Files I am a new user to CVS, I was formerly using Visual SourceSafe. It has a feature where a single file may be shared between several locations. For example file X is used in project A and project B.   Therefore I would like file X to appear in the directories for Project A

Hello, I want to use a modular approach for settting up a CVS-repository. Unfortunately, I can not get it to work as I want. I have read both the Cederqvist and the Fogel document, but the 'modules' file (which I think must be used for file sharing) is not very extensively explored in both d

Sharing files across directories

Hi, Is there a way to share a single source file across multiple directories in CVS, so that if it gets committed/merged in one directory the update registers in both locations? I know that VSS has this concept, and was wondering if CVS offers any sort of similar functionality. I was thinking

Hi there. :) I'm fairly new to cvs from an admin perspective, and I've got what I hope is a pretty easy question. We've got a number of headers files, etc that need to be available for building a number of different applications. We need to be able to get all of the header files easily without

I have found that it is ok to symlink *directories* in the CVS repository, but you should not symlink individual files. CVS uses locks on a per-directory basis to handle concurrency, and linking a file across directories allows multiple cvs processes to access the file simultaneously and possibl

Why can't you place the header files in their own module, and include that module in another one, using either the -a or & operators? Another method that's used successfully is to create baselines to which developers create references. Your symlink method is one way to do it, but there are other

Hi all, I setup a CVS server (version 1.10.6) a while back, and I now have the need to share some files between projects. The files are test data that does not change between projects, so I do not want to duplicate it in the repository. Previously, I used VSS' sharing mechanism to accomplish this
