I dont see why this should be unsafe? I know there are many oddities when storing symlinks inside cvs. But i dont see why symlink pointing out of the repository to outside files, should be a problem? It works partly for me, except that cvs look at the symlinks timestamps instead of the symliked-files.
The freebsd man pages doesnt talk at all about symlinks. Where can i find some info on symlinks and cvs? Well thanks, i couldnt find any earlier messages on google that discussed the subject, the only thing i saw where trouble with link residing inside the repository. Regards Simon Strandgaard BTW, I have made a ruby script that syncronizes the timestamps, so i can commit.

Use the -a option in the modules file. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
