Installing from CVS

Ugh.
I don’t know who’s in charge of the install.rb script, but whoever it is (and
future package manager programmers should listen too) - can we please have
the install scripts ignore any directories called ‘CVS’? Otherwise when I
checkout something and install it, I get all these CVS directories in my
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/ directory, since the installer seems to install
everything it can get its hands on. I know I can do a ‘cvs export’ instead,
and I won’t get those directories, but that’s not so easy for updating the
archive - you have to re-export it every time, instead of just doing a ‘cvs
up’… I’m sure this would help developers, too.

If you mean the setup.rb/install.rb, Minero Aoki-san is. The contact
information can be found in the opening comment of the file itself.

A quick fix is as follows:

Index: install.rb

I applied this to install.rb for use in the shim module. Aoki-san may
want to adopt this change into setup-3.1.2/src/base.rb.

Thank you. I have not know this thread…

I cannot accept this patch. Current setup.rb is designed for
only distribution/installation phase. If we use setup.rb for
development phase, we should re-design setup.rb. Orelse we
will encounter many problems.

  • Ignoring CVS/* is really sufficiant?
    setup.rb should ignore image files too.
  • setup.rb should ignore non-program files (e.g. resource text) too.
  • …
