Thread: Old interfaces directory in CVS tree?

Old interfaces directory in CVS tree?

From
jtv@xs4all.nl
Date:
A libpqxx user just informed me that the anonymous CVS repository at
anoncvs.postgresql.org still contained a 2002 version of libpqxx in the
interfaces directory.  I checked it out and otherwise it seems to be the
current source tree--at least I found an 8.1 version number somewhere.

Could someone "cvs remove" this old libpqxx version?  Having the old code
available may still be useful, but it should not be in current checkouts!

Jeroen,

you informant probably needs to use the -P option for cvs checkout.

Doesn't make a difference.  Besides, the outdated source is there even on
a fresh checkout.

Oh, the top level interfaces directory.  I misunderstood. Why is anybody 
checking that out at all? Are we keeping it for historical purposes?

Yes, since past releases did include it, so if we check out a previous 
release, it needs to be able to pull those files as well ...

I think the person in question was doing a regular checkout of the
mainline source tree, and found this in there.

But 8.1 is hardly a previous release.  Shouldn't this directory be in the
attic or something?
