I have always been a packrat when it comes to old books. Lately, I have been thinking that I should part with some. I tried to get rid of them via amazon, but didn’t want to part with the book for less than the cost of shipping.
I ran into operation paperback and booksforsoldiers.com. I have a soft spot for anyone who wants a book, but especially for those who have volunteered to place themselves into harms way. It seems like a better use of a book than just
leaving them around … but perhaps I could do both at the same time. Does anyone have any feedback on operationpaperback or booksforsoldiers.com?
when is it safe to delete the sandbox?
As a cvs user, sometimes I create a sandbox for a specific date and time. Then three months later I got back and wonder, gee is there anything important left in my source tree I want to retain? I didn’t know how to do that until yesterday. Thanks to Larry T. for setting me straight.
cvs release -d <dir>
This will report the state of any files and prompt you to delete the directory.
