It puts each one in the same directory where the real file will end up. Then it uses rename(2) to move it atomically into place after it has been checked for validity. There's some code that attempts to clean up a temp file if you kill the program in the middle. Usually it works. > Next time it happens I'll track down the offending file and check, > but the last time the corrupted file was installed from CD and > survived many builds. If you have a pre-mangled file whose size and timestamp are correct, CVSup won't check it until the next time it wants to update the file -- that is, the next time somebody changes it in the repository. That could be a long time. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
