Several, even? Do you > make your own changes to the main branch, or to a branch of your own? There is only one vendor branch. What I do (with Perforce and not CVS but the principle is more or less the same) is to import each pws (and release) on the vendor branch and apply the patches on the main trunk. Tanaka-san uses the vendor branch for all releases/patches which is another approach. > in changes from the anon CVS to your own repository, would you have to > update your working copy of the anon CVS and then `cvs import' your > working copy into your own development repository, or is there a > better way? Importing what you get from anoncvs in your repository is more or less the only way to do that. The way I generally use anoncvs, is that I modify the source locally, make a 'cvs diff' and it. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- Eurocontrol EEC/TEC -=- roberto@eurocontrol.fr The Postman hits!
