Could somebody explain what --without-cvs is used for?
I've started keeping a local rsync'd copy of the glibc archive, and
checking out a copy of the src from there. After a lot of messing about,
I found it needs --without-cvs in order to build successfully, where it
didn't when I was checking out directly from the sources.redhat.com archive.
I'm just curious to know what its for (Since I've wasted a few hours
working out why only one of two seemingly identical libc directories
would build... Identical, apart from some cvs control files that is)
I know its something to do with cvs and autoconf, but what exactly?
Thanks
