I should mention that I actually use an Ant file to do mass updates (i.e. update all of the open source repos I have checked out copies of), and use WinCVS to do individual updates when necessary. I also use an Ant file to do things like "build Struts, including all of its Commons dependencies" in one go. -- Martin Cooper > * Command line CVS for checkins. > * Cygwin for creating and applying patches. > > I prefer MindTerm over PuTTY, especially when ssh-ing in and > working on the > Apache servers.
