When I start working on a subject, I make a new checkout from the local repository to a designated directory under "pg_sandbox"-directory. For example, when I started working on the mvcc-safe cluster patch: ~/pg_sandbox$ cvs -d /home/hlinnaka/pgcvsrepository cvs co pgsql ~/pg_sandbox$ mv pgsql pgsql.cluster
You can use cvs co -d pgsql.cluster to save the above step. ~/pg_sandbox$ cd pgsql.cluster
~/pg_sandbox/pgsql.cluster$ cvs update -dP # Remove empty dirs. There's a checkout-flag for that as well, but I never remember it... ~/pg_sandbox/pgsql.cluster$ ./configure --enable-depend --enable-cassert --enable-debug --prefix=/home/hlinnaka/pgsql.cluster
I find configuring with CFLAGS="-g -O0" more useful. For primitive version control, I make a diff after any significant changes:
~/pg_sandbox/pgsql.cluster$ cvs diff -cN > cluster-mvcc-1.patch
I usually commit each version and tag the tree. That helps me to get diff between two versions as well. Thanks, Pavan -- Pavan Deolasee EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
