Hi everyone,
I wonder if it would be possible to write a script so that we can have
daily snapshots of the XFS CVS development tree for download as compressed
patches (similar to the one we have for download at increments which seem
to be done manually when deemed necessary).
Why? I don't know about the rest of the list members, but I don't have
enough bandwidth to do CVS updates using CVS. It'll simply take too long.
I heard CVSup is a more efficient way of doing things, but I followed the
instructions in the XFS website and did a CVSup but found that it was
downloading a LOT of files too many. Why? I investigated and found it was
downloading every file in the tree with a ",v" appended at the end of the
filename. So again this fails for someone with as lean a connection to the
'Net as I do.
I hope those of you in a position to work on a daily XFS CVS snapshot
system will see the relevance of my plight (hehehe). Thanks a lot in
advance! :)
--> Jijo
