There is a cvs-import.sh script which can import entire src.rpms to Fedora Extras CVS (its primary use is in the initial import). It takes care of adding/removing and committing files. It is used by several packagers, who prefer using it over working in CVS themselves, for *all* their updates. What it doesn't automate, however, is all the stuff you need to do prior to creating your source rpms. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
