Hi, I have read several documents that say that you can use the 'postcommit'
file in the CVSroot to copy every file that is committed to a seperate
location (for backup, whatever, etc.). I have NO idea how to do this and I
would love it if you could offer me any help.
For simplicity's sake I will define a couple things:
All paths I give will relate to my CVS server.
I am running both the server and the "client" on Windows XP
My cvsroot is 'c:\cvs\cvsroot'
My module is 'module1'
My local copy of the modue is '\\computer\cvs\module1'
My "backup" location is '\\backup\cvs\module1'
I want to commit file 'abc.txt' from my computer to the server. Then I want
the server to automatically
copy the file I just committed to my backup location.
Here is the sequence of events {this means an action or command that takes
place}:
\\computer\cvs\module1\abc.txt {cvs commit} --> c:\cvs\cvsroot\abc.txt
{copy} --> \\backup\cvs\module1\abc.txt
Thanks a lot! (My e-mail is jfcube at hotmail.com) God-Bless! -Denver Root
