Re: [development] Is emailpage abandoned [not any more!]
CVS itself cannot rename a project (one reason SVN was developed as a successor). However, there are tricks that can be done in the backend manually, such as copying the back end file to the new name to preserve history then doing a CVS remove on the original. For the issue at hand, why rename forward as a module? Keep it the same name as it is now, and just put a pointer in the obsolete emailpage project to it. If you want to be descriptive, then change the node name for the project to be "forward content by email" or something similar. On 11/16/06, Eric Goldhagen <eric@openflows.org> wrote:

Is it actually possible to rename a project once it's in CVS?
heh. I guess that would be an important thing to find out before we continue this thread ;)

because I thought that since a change was being made that the module that would continue to be developed (and the community at large) might be better served by a name that was more accurate and intuitive as a description for what it does. not a big deal, it was just a passing thought as I read the thread. --Eric -- ------------------------------------------- Openflows Community Technology Lab, Inc.
