[Plplot-devel] Moving Octave demos directory to examples/octave

[<jc...@fe...>]

Hi,

For a long time the Octave demos (and misc) directories are an exception=20
to the PLplot tree, so I decided to move them to a new examples/octave=20
directory.
This imply cvs manipulation that I'm not allowed to do, I think, so I=20
ask your kind cooperation.

=46rom the "cvs book",=20
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#I_need_to_move_files_around_with=
out_losing_revision_history
the following recipe is given:

I need to move files around without losing revision history

In the repository, copy (don't move) the RCS files to the desired new=20
location in the project. They must remain in their old locations as=20
well. Then, in a working copy, do:

floss$ rm oldfile1 oldfile2 ...
floss$ cvs remove oldfile1 oldfile2 ...
floss$ cvs commit -m =81=D2removed from here=81=D3 oldfile1 oldfile2 ...

When people do updates after that, CVS correctly removes the old files=20
and brings the new files into the working copies just as though they=20
had been added to the repository in the usual way (except that they'll=20
be at unusually high revision numbers for supposedly new files).=20

Can anyone with the rihgt rights please do it?
I want to move

    bindings/octave/misc
and
    bindings/octave/demos

to a new directory,
   examples/octave/

so it will look like this:
   examples/octave/demos/
   examples/octave/misc/

After the changes, I will edit the build/install configuration files=20
accordingly.

Thanks,
Joao

AFAIK we don't have direct access to the cvs repository.  It can be don=
e
nevertheless, but is a chore.  The procedure I followed before was:
 - check out the CVSROOT dir, using the standard plplot $CVSROOT settin=
g.
 - modify the script used for sending out the log messages (mfpipe.pl) =
to do
it.  Best to test it using an existing local cvs repository, else you c=
ould
really screw things up.
 - check in mfpipe.pl
 - make a dummy commit to trigger the action
 - see if it worked
 - revert the changes to mfpipe.pl and commit it again

Have fun. :)

I see. I will let it as is. Or I might risk loosing the revision history=20
and just remove/commit in the new directory.

Sorry I am responding to this question so late, but I just ran across the
definitive information.  See
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=768&group_id=1

So contrary to several SF news items and announcements some time ago, there
is no shell access for PLplot developers to our CVS repository.  However,
the SF staff apparently are willing to do any CVS repository adjustments
that you request, and all these requests receive their highest priority.
Look at the above URL to see how to set up repository changes with them.
