rm? Well it's a last resort I've used on one of my home cvs trees, but it does loose the archived stuff under that directory.

Fournier Cc: PostgreSQL-development Subject: [HACKERS] Dead CVS directories Marc, I added a dead directory called interfaces/pgeasy that I have removed via CVS, but I know the directory still exists in the CVS tree. (Now called libpgeasy). In fact, I know there are many directories that are empty in the tree. Can you figure out a way to remove them from the CVSROOT tree? -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ************

That stuff is very old. I don't know of any directory that has no valid files that needs to be saved. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

If its been 'deleted', it won't show up unless you want it to (cvs update -APd removed old files/directories)... Oops, careful in the above, it also removed any 'sticky/branch' tags... Marc G.

I just thought we could fiddle with CVS to remove the stuff totally. No real need to, though. I just thought it would be confusing for people who didn't do -P, or people managing CVSROOT directly. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

There is only one good reason for "really" pruning those old directories out of the source tree: revision purging. If you purge all revisions of the files that live in those directories (so that they really *are* empty), then removing the directories is a good idea. -- ===================================================================== | JAVA must have been developed in the wilds of West Virginia. | | After all, why else would it support only single inheritance?? | ===================================================================== | Finger geek@cmu.edu for my public key. | =====================================================================
