Once i got out local infra structure updated (just installed yet another server which does auto backup using secure rsync) i will khave a look at it; one reason for not using a cvs repository (i would only use it as repository for public context stuff since i hate the idea of all kind of mess ending up in there) was that i was in the process of splitting up context (i'm still not sure what happens when one removes a file). So, there will be either a cvs or rsyncable archive (synced with our local web server). Another option is to auto-update the time stamps (ignoring comment lines) which is what i already do with the main file. So, it will happen (i will also provide a mechanism in texexec to use multiple context trees in parallel) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
