Sporadic documentation exists around the web - the best IMO is The CVS Book <http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/> by one of the original CVS coders.
On contributing source code: unless/until you become a committer <http://jakarta.apache.org/guidelines/roles.html>, your only outlet is this mailing list. Send code diffs, patches, bug reports, etc. directly to the list. Also, remember that for most open source developers, this is not their day job. If they seem to be ignoring you, they're probably not; just pester them/us gently. (Just for the record, I am not an Ant committer.) Hope that helps. > Another question: > Is there a Delete target that supports wildcards available? > Do you want to delete an entire directory or just the files within the directory? In other words, are you looking for 'rm -rf foo*.*' or 'find . -name foo*.* | xargs -r rm -f'? > Thanks > > Kenneth Liu > AuctionLogic, Inc. > 3799 Route 46 East, Suite 310 > (973)257-2751 (973)331-8062 FAX > http://www.auctionlogic.com > AuctionLogic - Empowered Web Auction Management > -- Christopher Elkins
