I have now sup'd the cvs tree and have what looks like the -current release, and I can do "cvs gets", etc, locally. But I don't understand the process for working in -current and getting patches for -stable for local test. 0. (Basic assertion I think is correct) There is no "cvs awareness" in sup, and sup will simply update my sup tree to match what is on freefall. 1. How do I "sup" again? I assume most info is kept in the local working directory, so if all I have is locally checked out modules I can go ahead and "sup cvs" when I want, and it is only when I want to commit my changes that I have to be careful. 2. Do I commit back on freefall and then get my updates in the next sup? 3. How do I do local revision control, in conjunction with question 1? If I'm doing extensive work can I create a local branch so that I can keep local changes under revision control without having "sup" step on me? I don't see how this would play with assertion 0 without creating branches back on freefall. D. Where is -stable? Is it a branch somewhere in what I got in "sup cvs"? 5. Am I on the right track? I looked around on freefall and don't see these questions answered. -- Peter Dufault Real-Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc. Voice: 508 433 6936 dufault@hda.com Fax: 508 433 5267
