- Howdee all...
- I have yet another question for the seemingly millions of gurus on this
- group....
-
- I just decided that I would like to play around w/RCS on a larger scale
- and [for example] have my whole kernel build tree under RCS, so that
- when I apply non-mainline patches, I can easily start a new branch,
- and thus avoid doing large amounts of "cp blah.c blah.old; mv blah.orig
- blah.orig.old; mv blah.old blah.orig" type of things... Also, with
- RCS, I can hopefully also make out well with disk space, which lots
- of ".orig" and ".pl???" files are taking up...
-
- Now, my question is this: Is there any way to automate the checkout
- process on build?? I really don't want to have to check out all of
- the kernel tree before I decide to build it....
-
- I have played with the make configuration files in /usr/share/mk, and
- gotten this to work on a small scale, but I thought I would ask for
- more info before I did something like trashed my whole kernel source
- tree....
-
- So, if anyone is using this, or has a better way of doing things,
- please let me know...
-
- Thanks in advance for the input,
- Rafal
