I've been invited to assist in testing/debugging some 3D code for a graphics
card I've got. At the moment I'm compiling X from sources provided by a Linux
Format CD from march.
For the testing, I'll need to track the CVS branches of both XFree86 and DRI.
I was wondering if it was possible to to use cvs to update the current
sources I have for XFree86, or do I need to fetch a fresh copy via cvs first?
I know I'll need to fetch the DRI stuff, but if I can just update the XFree86
sources I have, it should save me quite a bit of on-line time.
Can cvs deal with updating sources that are not originally from cvs?
I've read all the doc's on my system about cvs, but nothing deals with this.
Cheers,
John Gay
