Hallo,
today I wanted to commit some rradical patch changes to CVS, when cvs bailed out with errors like:
confused about file rrad.minipli.pd -- ignoring
I vaguely remember, that Pd files maybe should be stored as binary in CVS. Reading a bit around about this I found, that it is possible to make *.pd files be always treated as binary by adding them to the "cvswrappers" file. So maybe some CVS guru can comment, if this would make sense?
Ciao
this is a total guess.. maybe it doesn't like the multiple dots? (rrad.minipli.pd vs rrad_minipli.pd)
i would say patches should handled just like any other source code, since they are plain text. by switching to a binary format, you would lose versioning control on pd patches. CVS can track ASCII changes, but IIRC cannot do anything with binaries save for archiving them (no merge, diff.. etc).
