CVS & TAR

[Olivier DAVY <od...@sopragroup.com>]

Hi !
Here is an issue that annoyes me :
Why tar does not include CVS directories in tar file ?

I would like to create a tarball of a development directory (src, resources 
with CVS dir) to send it to friends, but CVS dir are not included in the 
tarball.
(I use the ant task tar do to this, but I get the same result with the tar 
command line).
What can I do ? Is there an option within tar ?

Perhaps you would be able to answer me...

And what about the behaviour of subversion directories with tar ?

Umm, my tar does indeed include CVS directories in the archive.  I use the 
default tar from Gentoo Linux, and as far as I know I haven't seen any tar 
that excludes anything by default.

What version of tar do you have, and do you have an alias set up (possibly 
set by your sysadmin or distribution without your knowing) that passes an 
argument like "--exclude=CVS" by default?

As for Subversion, your .svn directories should also be preserved (at least 
they are on my system).
