It seems CVS 1.10 does not support what we need to do in the modules
file, namely:
#start CVSROOT/modules
auto_generated_files -a {big list of auto generated files}
egcs_noauto -a !auto_generated_files egcs
#start CVSROOT/modules
the cvs modules parsing code does support the ignore directive, but ONLY
for directories, NOT for aliases (as I show above) or for individual
file names. I didn't bother looking and non-release versions of cvs
like 1.10.{1->4} since I suspect few if any egcs users will be running
these versions.
Anybody know what the cvs developers are up to in the area?
Would they accept a patch from an unknown?
As for checking out things like egcs-core, egcs-g++, egcs-java
etc. I can try and set that up if it is useful.
