Anyone have any good advice on making a branch in CVS? Or perhaps a good HOWTO? Its time to make a branch for the Pd-0.39.2- extended release.
what is your exact problem?
how does "cvs tag -b extended_0_39_2" (within the cvsroot) not fit your needs?
btw, googling for "cvs tag" returned http://www.psc.edu/~semke/ cvs_branches.html as the second hit (the first one was a dead link)
there is no magic involved in tagging.
btw, i thought someone mentioned a "best practice CVS" document a while ago ;-)
I know tagging, that's dead simple. I am talking about a branch. I can google "cvs tag" or "cvs branch" myself too, but a personal recommendation is worth a lot more than a google search.
I am more interested in experience in managing changes in the branch. Some changes should get folded in to MAIN, others are only for the branch. I am sure there are things that you can do that will make your life easier when the time to merge comes.
