Subject: Trouble with modules file syntax
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
I have:

Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.12 (client)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)

I am writing a library and want to use it in several places, including client
code, test/development code etc.  I am trying to understand the syntax for the
modules file, which I have not been able to figure out yet.

I have library source, which lives in current directory "XXlib" in the
repository (as in "cvs checkout XXlib").  I've developed it with some test code
that lives at

   DevCode/PrimeSieve/SieveCalc

and I want the XXlib module to show up (as an alias) at

   DevCode/PrimeSieve/XXlib

In other words, when I "cvs checkout DevCode", I want to see SieveCalc and XXlib
modules under DevCode/PrimeSieve.

None of the following attempts in the modules file work:

# Add XXlib to DevCode/PrimeSieve
#DevCode &PrimeSieve &XXlib
#DevCode/PrimeSieve &XXlib
#PrimeSieve &XXlib
#PrimeSieve/XXlib -a XXlib
#DevCode/PrimeSieve/XXlib -a XXlib
#DevCode/PrimeSieve  DevCode/PrimeSieve/&XXlib
#DevCode  DevCode/PrimeSieve/&XXlib

DevCode/PrimeSieve DevCode/PrimeSieve DevCode/PrimeSieve/&XXlib

Can anybody see the error of my ways and hopefully provide a solution?

That's a tricky thing to do, it's much simpler if you add the library at
the top level instead (i.e., DevCode/XXlib).  That's just:

        DevCode DevCode &XXlib

If you really want it at a lower level, you have to define a special
module for it that specifies the directory to check out into:

        DevCodeXXlib -d PrimeSieve/XXlib XXlib
        DevCode DevCode &DevCodeXXlib

Ah bless you - that is exactly what I want.  I tried several variations on this
but I couldn't figure out the "-d" syntax.

Thanks very much!
