Thanks, but I was really asking the question for the whole *project*.
With PRCS I can talk about revision n - 1 of the *project*, i.e., the
full set of the files. According to private messages with Lars
(Hecking :), you need to tag to be able to do that. So I dropped this
idea and I'm currently running the following script. Hopefully
tomorrow it should give some hints.
#! /bin/zsh
for i in {1..350}
do
echo
echo
echo '=================================================================='
echo "Getting $i days ago..."
echo "Getting $i days ago..." >>LOG
cvs update -A -D "$i day ago"
rm automake
make
(
cd ~/src/libtool-mlt/demo
/tmp/am/automake --amdir=/tmp/am --verbose
cd ..
./config.status
make check TESTS='cdemo-static.test cdemo-make.test cdemo-exec.test
demo-static.test demo-make.test' && exit 1
true
) || break
done
echo "STOPPED at: $i" >> LOG
