Re: How to compose a new module out of dirs in other modules !

[Peter Biechele]

Thank You VERS MUCH for all the infos and suggestions !!!

The solutions using "-d" was the one I was looking for. I completly missed 
that option in the Doc !

BUT there is one "strange behaviour", which made it difficult for me to 
realize whats going on:

I have checked out a module.
I add a ampersand module to that module in the CVSROOT files.
Then i do a "cvs update -dP" in the checked out module and cvs did NOT 
checkout the newly added ampersand module !
So I have to release the old checked out module and checkout again the 
complete module.

So it seems that a checked out module doesnt realize changes to the modules 
definitions.


Thanks again for the help !
