Of course, it is possible to manage configurations with a combination
of CVS and Gnu make. This sample makefile allows you to collect files
before checking them into CVS (make import) and to install them (make
install):
============= same Makefile =======
TO1 := /tmp/dest
FROM1 := .
SRC1 := foo bar
ifdef import
import: $(patsubst %, $(FROM1)/%, $(SRC1))
$(FROM1)/%: $(TO1)/%
cp $< $@
endif
ifdef install
install: $(patsubst %, $(TO1)/%, $(patsubst %.src,%, $(SRC1)))
$(TO1)/%: $(FROM1)/%
cp $< $@
endif
ifndef NOGLOB
%:
@$(MAKE) NOGLOB=1 $@=1 $@
endif
Of course, you'd want to check if the file is writable before you
overwrite it.
Eugene.
