Subject: custom package server: upset finds package 'Base' from CVS/Base/setup.hint
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

i'm managing a custom cygwin package server and have my own packages
directly in the 'release'-subdir in CVS.

When i have checked out (cvs edit) a setup.hint file, cvs places the
original copy into CVS/Base/setup.hint. So, when i run upset, i get
a package "@ Base" in setup.{ini|bz2} with the old contents of my
setup.hint file.

My preferred solution would be one of the following:
1) hardcode into upset to skip all subdirs named 'CVS', with one
exeption: if directly in the CVS-subdir is a file named "setup.hint".
This is needed for the package 'cvs' itself, when upset is run on
a cygwin-machine, where 'cvs' is equal to 'CVS'.

2) Add a commandline-arg to give upset a list of directories not to
be searched for packages, as wildcards or regex and the ability to
define the above exception for the cvs-package, or just as an output
of a command like `find ./release -type d -print | grep 'CVS/Base'`

3) any other idea ?

thanks
    Michael
