This directory contains the virgin CVS source on the vendor branch. Do
not under any circumstances commit new versions onto the mainline, new
versions or official-patch versions must be imported.
To prepare a new cvs dist for import, extract it into a fresh directory;
The following generated files were deleted:
doc/*.ps
doc/*.info*
doc/*.aux*
doc/CVSvn.texi
lib/getdate.c
tools/pcl-cvs/*.ps
tools/pcl-cvs/*.aux
tools/pcl-cvs/texinfo.tex
cvsnt.mak
The following non-freebsd-specific directories were deleted:
macintosh
os2
windows-NT
contrib/elib (this has a .tar.Z in it)
CVS has RCS Id, Name and Header tags. It needs to be imported with -ko.
It is imported from it's top level directory something like this:
cvs -n import -ko src/contrib/cvs CYCLIC v<version>
The -n option is "dont do anything" so you can see what is about to happen
first. Remove it when it looks ok.
The initial import was done with:
cvs import -ko src/contrib/cvs CYCLIC v1_8_1
When new versions are imported, cvs will give instructions on how to merge
the local and vendor changes when/if conflicts arise..
The developers can be reached at: <devel-cvs@cyclic.com>. Local changes
that are suitable for public consumption should be submitted for inclusion
in future releases.
