I mean that the emacs repository (the directory pointed at by your cvsroot symlink) gets a symlink to the url repository. It's then possible to use CVS module import on the symlinked URL repository. for example: ln -s (subversions)/cvsroot/url (subversions)/cvsroot/emacs/url You can then combine the one module with the other. However, a symlink direct to the repository is just as good from a technical point if view. I suggest the above because IMHO it's easier to manage, the resources for a project are kept within the projects CVS repository. Nic
