Now I am no "expert or Guru" but personally it hasn't been necessary in the past for me to use the Admin -o option. Heed the warnings in the documentation, and always as a precaution backup your repository before any Admin command.

You would have to directly edit the RCS files in the repository to remove revisions older than one month. Not recommended unless you have a "PHD" in RCS file structure and another "PHD" in programming perl. AFAIK there is no way to remove revisions older than a month within the RCS files that live in the repository Shawn Haigh CVSNT administrator and build engineer in Montreal TortoiseCVS v1.6.14 (2.0.41a client/server) CVSNT-Server v2.0.41 ________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Florent Gilain [mailto:florent.gilain at direct-energie.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 5:35 AM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] How tu purge my Repositories ?
