[mcclim-devel] Question about source tarball
Hello all, The source tarball linked from http://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/ contains only the directory "mcclim/cvsroot" including CVS files and subdirectories. I.e. mcclim/ - cvsroot/ - CVSROOT/ - Emptydir/ - checkoutlist - checkoutlist,v . . . - mcclim - Apps - Debugger - clim-debugger.lisp,v . . . . . . Is that intended? Or is the tarball build broken? Or am I missing something? Thanks, Stefan

Let me clarify that a bit: 1. I'm not familiar with CVS. 2. I expected the get something like "svn export" would give me for an svn repository. Is that expectation wrong and the tarball (intentionally) contains the whole CVS repository?! -- Stefan

You have downloaded a CVS snapshot, I guess it contains the CVS control files on purpose. I believe that the CVS snapshots are autocreated by common-lisp.net, so I doubt we'd be able to do much about it. -- \ Troels "Athas" /\ Henriksen

IMO, then the sentence "A compressed tar file of the sources is made nightly." on the webpage is misleading and should instead be something like: "Here is a backup of the entire CVS repository." I'll just checkout via cvs. Thanks, Stefan

The web page is from when I was hosting McCLIM. I was making a nightly tarball of just the sources. I guess the common-lisp.net guys got their shell script wrong. Mike McDonald mikemac@mikemac.com

I think that's deliberate - encouraging us developers to keep offshore backups of the sources. I have now corrected the text linking to the CVS repository snapshot. Cheers, -- Andreas Fuchs, (http://|im:asf@|mailto:asf@)boinkor.net, antifuchs
