Yes, I did plan that. For my builds that is. If some other build environment creates other files then here, then I can not add these to the ignore list (since I don't know which files it is). People that use these build env. can add these files if they want. It's not like it's a big job. You just run cvs diff and it will say what files it is, and all you have to do is to make sure it's a built file and add it. One can also add globs in the ignore file so for the po directory one adds *.mo and all the build .mo files are ignored. Same thing for the lib*.so* files. I have cvsignore files in all projects I handle myself. One advantage of this is that you can do "cvs diff > foo.patch" and get a patch file without a lot of garbage. -- /Dennis Björklund ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
