How do I remove a directory from CVS using Eclipse [message #260657] Thu, 10 July 2008 11:19 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

I'm using Eclipse 3.4. I know how to delete a directory in the package
explorer view, but I don't know how to indicate to CVS that I want this
directory removed and tag appropriately?

Anyone know how this is done?

thanks, - Dave

Dave,

I think that CVS doesn't really let you delete directories. When I've
wanted to delete a directory, I've had to go into the actual file system
of the repository where CVS maintains the files and delete it that way...

If you delete a folder in Eclipse and then synch up those changes in the
Synchronize view, the files will be "deleted" in CVS, which means "moved
into a subfolder called 'Attic', in case you want to bring them back."

Ad Ed says, to actually delete, you have to ssh to the cvs server and
`rm -fr` the folder.
