I don't think anyone replied to you main question, so I'll share with
you how I have everything setup. First of all, I never alter my real
CVS directories -- I work on copies of them. For example, here's my FG
paths:
/archive/incoming/flightgear/cvs/fgfs/Makefile
/archive/incoming/flightgear/cvs/fgfs/FlightGear/
/archive/incoming/flightgear/cvs/fgfs/local/
/archive/incoming/flightgear/cvs/fgfs/localbuild/
My Makefile looks like this:
all:
rm -rf ./local ./localbuild
cp -a ./FlightGear local
mkdir localbuild
lndir -silent ../local ./localbuild
So, what I do is cd to /archive/incoming/flightgear/cvs/fgfs/FlightGear
and update my local CVS checkout. Then go back a directory and run
`make` to get a clean development copy. I do all my local work in the
localbuild/ directory. If I make changes, I cd back into the real CVS
directory and do a diff like so:
$ diff -urN . ../local
I make no promises about this setup -- no warranty whatsoever. :-) I
only do small updates and bugfixes so I never really need to keep a
development tree around for a long time. You'll have to talk to some of
the other "real" developers if you want to do that. :-)
