Hey guys, I wanted to bring this up here to see if anyone had any input.
For the longest time I have hated that ABS is dependent on our version control system. Not only that but we have this whole csup/cvsup thing which is annoying, and _now_ we hit yet another snag: csup doesn't have cvsupd, which means we can't get rid of the cvsup package on gerolde.
So yeah, CVS == headache.
I wanted to try to get rid of this, and Dan had a brilliant idea: * Some cron job (or even cvs hook) that does a simple export of the repo when it needs to. * rsyncd supplying that exports that dir * Modify 'abs' to use rsync * Boom, done
Does anyone have any issues with something like that? Or any better ideas?
What about installing an export in place when we run the db-* scripts. Shouldn't be that hard, as we export CVS to generate the DB anyways.
