Re: Moving the xml-xalan/src directory underneath ./java; CVS help moving dirs anyone?

[Br...@equifax.com]

Moving stuff in cvs is a problem that I've encountered before as well. I solved
it by actually moving the directories in the repository itself. This preserves
the history but it does seem a bit of a dirty hack to me and it requires all of
the source to be checked in. If anyone does have a prettier way of solving it
I'd like to know as well. (I know this is a xalan list but this problem is
endemic to open source projects using cvs, which is a great tool).

cheers,

Subject:  Moving the xml-xalan/src directory underneath ./java; CVS help moving
      dirs anyone?




As Don has been changing the xml-xalan/xdocs directory, so too would we
like to move the xml-xalan/src dir to be xml-xalan/java/src.  This will
more closely match the xml-xerces structure.

Hence, directories will move like so:

    xml-xalan/src  -> xml-xalan/java/src

    xml-xalan/samples  -> xml-xalan/java/samples

Makefiles & etc. will move from the root to the java directory.  Also, we'd
like to move a few of the doc-related files, like BUGS, STATUS, DONE and
CREDITS into some xdocs directory.

*** Also: Are there any CVS experts who'd like to lend me a hand?  My goal
is to preserve all the existing files' change logs after the move, which
seems like it's going to be a little tricky.

Obviously, I'll send out another email sometime next week when we actually
make the change so people can make the appropriate updates.
