Well my plan has been to make a duplicate of the current ,v files into a rar or zip file, then burn that to cdr or something similar, then I would like to strip all but the most uptodate from the entire module. My alternate method would be to archive the directory structure from the server, and delete it, and recreate it with the current head. Problem with this is that all revisions will start at r1.1 again. The last alternitave would be to create a new module with a different base name ie project-00, this method just seems less elegent. Marts ps. The two modules that I have plans to do this to are 300Mb and 200Mb respectively. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Czarnowski, Aric" <aczarnowski at unimax.com> To: <cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 6:29 PM Subject: RE: [cvsnt] cvs admin -o > archiving away the module at this point, so I > will have the complete record available in storage. I don't understand what you mean by this. It seems like you are trying to archive a snapshot by removing all the revisions and then copying all the *,v archive files off the CVSNT server to CD-R or similar? Are the ,v archive files critical in some way or am I wrong and you are archiving the sources? What we, and I think a lot of others, do for archiving is to copy a checked out or exported source directory to archive media based on a release tag or date and that's it. Should we ever go out of business, for example, the latest release comes out of escrow and the recipient can import the sources to start their own fork at that time in whatever way they wish. --Aric Aric Czarnowski Unimax Systems Corporation 612-204-3634 _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
