What are the files that you can use to get CVSup to ignore a directory ? Is it .cvsignore in the directory ? I'd like this to preserve some changes I've made to certain files, which I'm aware that I will have to hand-modify if they change, or patch. Also, is there any way to place a file in a directory and tell make not to do anything in it (something like a .makeignore) ? I'd like this to prevent a make world from building and installing sendmail, because I have my own hacked version installed. I could of course just edit the makefile in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ and remove sendmail, but I was hoping for a more elegant approach. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za UUNET Internet Africa Support * FreeBSD enthusiast-www2.za.freebsd.org FreeBSD is like a wigwam - no windows, no gates, apache inside!
