Huh? Symlinks? Modules are the usual way to tie together different directories
in CVS...
Can't say I ever fully understood the concept of CVS modules.
So how would I (for instance) graft the hierarchical libraries,
hsc2hs, and cpphs into the source tree of nhc98, all of which are
currently symlinks?
I just had a look at the repository structure and only now I fully realize what
you mean by symlinking in the repository. This is evil and confuses CVS quite
a bit! :-] You get e.g. locks *per directory* in the repository, but with the
Evil Symlinking (tm) you get several locks for one entity, which is hardly what
is intended.
After fiddling around quite a bit with the syntax of the module file, I've added
an example module "nhc98all" which does almost what you want:
-- CVSROOT/modules -----------------------------------------------------------------
...
nhc98only -d nhc98_ nhc98
nhc98cpphs -d nhc98_/src/cpphs_ cpphs
nhc98hsc2hs -d nhc98_/src/hsc2hs_ fptools/ghc/utils/hsc2hs
nhc98libraries -d nhc98_/src/libraries_ fptools/libraries
nhc98template -d nhc98_/script_ fptools/ghc/utils/hsc2hs template-hsc.h
nhc98all -a nhc98only nhc98cpphs nhc98libraries nhc98hsc2hs nhc98template
nhc98template
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using "cvs -d ... co nhc98all" yields a nh98_ directory with the various parts
grafted to the right places. The lines containing "-d" are sub-modules for the
various parts moved to the right place, and the final module simply collects
them all. The underscores are only a temporary measure while the old (evil :-)
stuff is still there. You can changes this when the symlinks are removed.
There are a few other symlinks in the repository (e.g. HaXml), we should fix them,
too.
Cheers,
S.
