Re: CVS doesn't like its own checkouts???

[Shane Michael Lenagh <shane7 home com>]

Johnathan, I am trying to use that makefile-like script that you posted here
several days ago (BTW, thank you very much for doing so; that was a GREAT idea; it
is much more usable than that ASCII art shit -- no offense to Sergei :-).  Well, I
have my own build and checkout scripts that I use (attached), but I want to use
your makefile-like thing to get my dependencies right.  I am doing something like
this in my script to get the modules that I want to both check out and compile:

modules=`make -s -f /home/shane/sbin/gnome-deps WORLD | xargs`

This line generates a perfect (assuming your dep script is perfect :-) list of
modules in proper COMPILE-TIME dependency order.

Where gnome-deps is just your makefile script, modified slightly so that each
target just echoes its name, so each target entry in the "makefile" looks like:

target:  dep1 dep2 dep3 ...
        echo target

This seems to work great for generating a non-redundant, dependency-correct list
of modules for both checkout and compilation.  Furthermore, it is paremetrized so
that you can quite easily replace WORLD with any subset or single target module
that you like.  My question is:

1.) Is this dependency tree (attached) still accurate?

And:

2.) Any idea why I might be getting caught in an infinite loop when trying to do
a:

cvs -z3 -d $CVSROOT co glib

I already have a copy of glib locally, yes, but I am using checkout because there
are some modules in my string of modules (generated by that thing I described
above) that I don't have at all, so I want to ensure that they are downloaded too
and not skipped.  Is there any reason that you can see for this circularity?

My update log looks like:

cvs server: Updating glib/docs
cvs server: Updating glib/gmodule
cvs server: Updating glib/gthread
cvs server: Updating glib
cvs server: Updating glib/debian
cvs server: Updating glib/docs
cvs server: Updating glib/gmodule
cvs server: Updating glib/gthread
cvs server: Updating glib
cvs server: Updating glib/debian
cvs server: Updating glib/docs
cvs server: Updating glib/gmodule
cvs server: Updating glib/gthread
.
.
.
ad infinitum, ad nauseam, etc., etc....

Hmm, I'm stumped.

TIA,
shane
