now that i'm pretty active on the gphoto developer mailing list, i'd like to
know some basic cvs stuff:
1. when you go into a cvs directory and issue a 'cvs update', how does
cvs "know" where to pull data from? is the remote cvs server info stored
in some file in the local cvs directory? or do i need to reset CVSROOT
every time i want to update my copy of a particular cvs?
2. in the lines:
cvs server: Updating camlibs/agfa-cl18
cvs server: Updating camlibs/barbie
cvs server: Updating camlibs/canon
P camlibs/canon/canon.c
P camlibs/canon/psa50.c
cvs server: Updating camlibs/canon/ps350
U libgphoto2/libgphoto2.pc.in
cvs server: warning: libgphoto2/libgphoto-2.0.pc.in is not (any longer)
pertinent
what do the P and U prefixes mean? should "non-pertinant" files be
deleted by hand?
3. after issuing 'cvs update' for a cvs that uses autoconf, is it necessary
(or is it good practise) to remake the make files by running configure
again?
thanks,
pete
