[Devil-linux-develop] how to update the sources off the build tree

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi girls (any?) and boys!

How do we, as developers, update our local sources 
from e.g. ftp://ftp.de.devil-linux.org/src/0.5beta/ 
in the build system at /build/src?

Somehow I could think of a file in CVS that lists all added
and deleted sources, including the online source 
(e.g. ftp://ftp.de.devil-linux.org/src/0.5beta/)

So after a "cvs update" I'd call this script, let's name it
src-update, which will take care of getting the latest
source files and removing the corresponding old ones. 
It has to remove the corresponding compile tree under 
/build/tmp, too.

Heiko I know for you it's easy - you've got the latest
sources anyway :)

PS: Today I'm to lacy, so I just got wget to download the whole
directory, but I think that's not the real method.

That's a good idea!
Is wget capable of doing a real mirror of a ftp directory?
We use another tool in the company for ftp mirror jobs, I can check what 
the name ist.
