Hello list,
i am a newbie from this list, and sorry at all if my question is a
bit stupid but.. If possible, i have the necessity to link the folder
of my project to the locatione where cvs works. In brief my
production site has a set of various files (html, php and so) and
this folder is stored at different location respect my cvs folder
(secutity) where regularly i /update/commit ecc.
I would like to do a symbolic link between my site folder, and the
cvs repository folder, to permit to update real time any my work of
the site. Is it possible to do this?? Or exist a difefrent method to
replace my suggestion??
Before I attempt to answer your question, a small digression: the
repository is forbidden territory. You only go in there when
absolutely necessary, and when you know what you are doing.
Let me re-phrase your question to see if I understand you correctly.
Basically, you want to have your production area always, and
automatically, contain the latest version that is checked in - is that
right?
If I'm right, then it sounds to me like you want this:
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC177
Also, linking directly to the repository won't help - the files in the
repository are not usable by your web server.
If I'm wrong, then please try to explain it again to us ;=)
