This might be a beginner question to some folks, but I wonder about working with sources I checkout with CVS. Example here is the listen-up program. I have listen-up checked out and of course it sits in a cvs hierarchy on my hard drive. When I go to compile it, other files are going to be introduced into this directory structure such as object and load modules. I would think this would sort of corrup the original CVS checked out code, wouldn't it? Should I copy these source files out into a separate directory for local compiles and such? I realize if I should begin doing any development or modifications here, I should do them in this CVS tree (that is if I were to have CVS update privs). If I only supply patches to someone else to do the commits, then that's another reason I should maintain a separate source tree for any local changes I make. I guess I'm wondering what most people do in these type environments. Where do you usually do the work and when do you make changes to the CVS source tree and such? If there is a good conscise write-up I should read, I'll gladly accept any pointers:).
