Howdee all...
I have yet another question for the seemingly millions of gurus on this
group....
I just decided that I would like to play around w/RCS on a larger scale
and [for example] have my whole kernel build tree under RCS, so that
when I apply non-mainline patches, I can easily start a new branch,
and thus avoid doing large amounts of "cp blah.c blah.old; mv blah.orig
blah.orig.old; mv blah.old blah.orig" type of things... Also, with
RCS, I can hopefully also make out well with disk space, which lots
of ".orig" and ".pl???" files are taking up...
Now, my question is this: Is there any way to automate the checkout
process on build?? I really don't want to have to check out all of
the kernel tree before I decide to build it....
I have played with the make configuration files in /usr/share/mk, and
gotten this to work on a small scale, but I thought I would ask for
more info before I did something like trashed my whole kernel source
tree....
So, if anyone is using this, or has a better way of doing things,
please let me know...
Thanks in advance for the input,
Rafal
