Michael, Remember that your devel/helices tree structure is entirely up to you. We have structures for our bin and doc trees, but haven't come to a consensus on src yet. > I am starting to realize that, perhaps, I should take a directory based > approach to helices' cvs tree.

You can tag the files, and export them for packaging purposes. ref. http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Exporting_For_Public_Distribution Packages that are ready for general consumption should be committed to our bin/packages tree in cvs. I hope to have this tree exporting nightly to our pub directory on the SF shell server this month. > [4] I am still confused on how best to handle package descriptions. > <http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/helices/net-snmp/> presents several > TXT files that, once clicked on, present descriptive text regarding the > LRP's that reside in versioned directories below this one.

I'd like people to start familiarizing themselves with phpWebSite (see demo link below). Instead of using the devel tree on the shell server for web content I'd like use to use phpWebSite. Page creation and menu placement is fairly easy. Everyone of our project members has an admin/author account for phpWebSite. Contact me off list if you don't have your login information yet. Note: the demo is using 0.8.2 and we are using 0.8.1.1. http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/demo/ -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Two, two, TWO treats in one. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
