Override the Local module directory for cvs using Hudson

Question

Hi guys, I'm using Hudson and I need to change the checkout directory for cvs. Instead of checkout/update the project under the workspace dir, I'd like to specify a dir (as you can do for svn, changing the Local module directory conf) that will match the cvs tree structure.

Eg.

under cvs dir1/dir2/project on my box workspace/dir1/dir2/project

is that possible with cvs and Hudson? Maybe there's a way to override the cvs call?

Thanks! Roberto

Answer 1

You can use the -d option to define the folder via CVS...but as far as i know there should be a possibility to do that via Hudson as well...but my CVS times are far far away.

cvs -d CVSROOT checkout -d NewFolder ModuleName

In the newer versions of Hudson you can override the working directory for free style jobs.

Go to the config for your job > Advanced Project Options > Use Custom Workspace.
