modules file

[Jeff Rancier]

Hello,

All the references I have seen so far regarding the modules file, refer to
the *global* one, in $CVSROOT, and appear to alias a name to a single
(sub)directory.  E.g.

/tmp/test> cvs co CVSROOT/modules
U CVSROOT/modules
/tmp/test> vi CVSROOT/modules
(add the line 'hello        subdir/hello' to the end of the file)
/tmp/test> cvs commit -m 'Added the HELLO module' CVSROOT
cvs commit: Examining CVSROOT
cvs commit: Committing CVSROOT
Checking in CVSROOT/modules;
/tmp/cvs/CVSROOT/modules,v  <--  modules
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done
cvs commit: Rebuilding administrative file database
/tmp/test> cvs release -d CVSROOT
You have [0] altered files in this repository.
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) module `CVSROOT': y

(1) Can I maintain a local modules file?  I am using Windows, so do I make a
.modules file in my %HOME% or $HOME directory, much like I have a .cvsignore
file there?

(2) I have multiple projects which share common C libraries and header
files.  What would my my modules entry look like?


TIA.

Jeff
