Is there a way in CVS where I can overlay one module on top of
another module? In the current SCM environment that I am working
under, there are 8 different environment scenarious that need to be
applied to a baseline. Currently, each one of the environment
scenarios is setup as a module, in addition to having a baseline
module for the application.
1. The baseline module is checked out to a work area.
2. Each one of the environment modules are checked out to a work
area.
3. Each one of the enviroment modules is tarred
4. One by one, these environment tar files are untarred over the
baseline module which is also tarred. (8 times).
This is a lot of effort. I have worked with other Version Control
Systems that will allow a user to checkout a "Project" into a work
area based upon a "Tag/Label/Symbolic", and then repeat the process
by checking out the same project by at different "Tag". When the
first checkout had ~1,000 files, and the second "Tag" had only 30
files that dealt with configuration settings, only those
configuration settings were changed from the initial checkout.
I have used the "Open Source Development with CVS by Karl Fogel" as a
reference, but I still can't find my answer.
I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
Thank you,
Brian Colburn
