#2412: CVS incremental update works improperly when using modules instead of
directories
---------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: daviddev | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: undecided
Version: 0.8.7p1 | Keywords: cvs
---------------------+-----------------------
Using the new CVS source steps, when passing a CVS module (i.e. one
defined in CVSROOT/modules) to the "cvsmodule" parameter, instead of a
directory name, the incremental update won't work.
The reason is that the content of "CVS/Repository" will not match the
module name given. Instead, the name of the real folder in the repository
will appear leading to a non-match and, in the end, to a clobber update.
I am not myself an expert on CVS, but my guess is that the value in
"CVS/Repository" cannot be used to check if we can do an update in the
build directory.
One solution is to remove this check, but in some cases (e.g. when passing
directory names in the "cvsmodule" parameter) there will be a loss of
functionality.
