Hello *.*,
Sorry if this has been asked, but after looking to the board I was not able to find any related question. I have been using Synchronet for 15 years from the CVS build, updating it in a regular basis. Switch to a git repository sounds like a really good idea (I use myself at work and for personal projects), but that bring me some questions regarding transition from CVS:
* Would the transition consist in cloning the git repository, build the new version and the overwrite ctrl, data and text directories?
* My setup is currently with /sbbs as base, but new setup instructions clone it to /sbbs/repo. Is the /sbbs/repo folder intended to be my cloned repo, but then the install to be at /sbbs?
* How would the upgrades would work then? I could update the /sbbs/repo with git pull, and then... would I have to copy again the updated files to /sbbs?
You're already installed in /sbbs, so you don't need to install again. The repo being in /sbbs/repo isn't going to change your install at all. But building in sbbs/repo/src should automaticall update your /sbbs/exec/* executables so long as you use 'make symlinks' (or 'make install') and have your SBBSCTRL or SBBSEXEC env variable setup correctly.
Definitely not *all* the files, only the files you want to update. The executables should be automatically copied or symlinked as a result of running 'make symlinks' (or 'make install') in src/sbbs3.
