Hello ,
I am baesy .
I work in Korea.
I want to control binary file .
My OS is Linux .
First I make tar-file.
I cvs import tar-file .
But original file and imported file differ .
Size of orginal file is 16691200.
Size of imported file is 16691124.
And I can't execute tar xvf imported file .
Why does it do ?
How can I cvs import binary file (*.tar file ) .
please help me .
I will be waiting for your answer.
[Thornley, David] What do you mean "imported
file"? Do you mean the file in the
repository, or one checked out later? The
file in the repository is not supposed
to
be used directly.
And,
for that matter, why are you controlling a tarball? Why not skip the
whole
tar
process and just import the individual files? Importing a tarball makes
no sense
whatsoever. Importing is a way
to allow your own development on somebody else's
code
while keeping track of their changes and merging them in. If they're in
a tarball,
they're not going to merge, so you're getting
nothing out of it. If you must keep a
tarball around, use "cvs add -kb" or something like
that.
