CVS Task

[Joe Rice <jo...@mercurymd.com>]

I have a CVS Tree with a top directory called source that I want to
ignore.  So my tree is:
 
source/project1
source/project2
 
I used eclipse to do the checkout and it ignored the top directory (I
assume with the -d option in the checkout command) so that in eclipse I
have
 
c:/workspaces/project1
c:/workspaces/project2
 
When I try to use the following ant cvs task to do an update, it errors
out saying there isn't a source directory.
 
    <cvs cvsRoot="${cvsPath}" 
         package="source/project1" 
         command="-q update -dP" 
         dest="c:/workspaces"/>
    <cvs cvsRoot="${cvsPath}" 
         package="source/project2" 
         command="-q update -dP" 
         dest="c:/workspaces"/>
 
 
Is there a flag to make ant realize that the source directory has been
removed and to just do the update on workspaces/project1 and
workspaces/project2?
 
Thanks,
 
Joe Rice

If you do an update, you don't need to specify the CVSROOT nor the package,
both are recorded in CVS/Root and CVS/Repository, respectively. Here's how I
do updates myself:

    <property name="cvs.exe" value="cvs" />
    <exec executable="${cvs.exe}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
      <arg line="-z3 -q update -dP" />
    </exec>

where ${basedir} the root dir of the tree I want to update. I'm sure you can
do the same with <cvs> somehow, but I prefer to <exec> the cvs exe myself.
I've always found <cvs> weird to use. --DD
