I have a silly question... Is there any way to map a CTM # to a date that I can use with cvs's date specification commands? This assumes that CTM is delivering a CVS tree that can be checked out like this. Actually, it would merely use CTM's deltas as marks in time, anybody with a CVS tree could use that numbering. Even just a file that looked like 2400|96/09/04 18:45:32 2401|96/09/04 21:47:19 If that was in the CVS tree (say like the log files of the commits are now), then a simple awk command + cvs co would allow the CVS crowd to get known versions of the source. This would be a convenient fallback for when my makeworld of 2401 fails, I can blow away my source tree and try again with 2400. This wouldn't help the poor slobs getting things w/o the CVS tree. Nor would it solve the "Does this build" problem. However, it would be a tiny, incremental improvement over the current state of afairs. I think it would be easy to implement, but I'm heading off to New Mexico Friday for my Wedding and won't be back for about two weeks. Comments? Warner
