Dear All, I am currently involved in development of a slightly bigger project than what I am used to. The project I am working on, has two branches - one for stable releases, and another for development releases.

Directory structure for stable version is:

/var/www/intranet/stable/
/var/www/intranet/stable/*.epl
/var/www/intranet/stable/lib/
/var/www/intranet/stable/lib/*.pm
[download]

Directory structure for development version is:

/var/www/intranet/devel/
/var/www/intranet/devel/*.epl
/var/www/intranet/devel/lib/
/var/www/intranet/devel/lib/*.pm
[download]

All my Embperl files (*.epl) do have

use lib "/var/www/intranet/devel/lib"
[download]

line at the beginning. When I need to release a version as a stable one, I need to go through all of the files and change the "use lib" line to point to "/var/www/intranet/stable/lib".

That is not a big problem, but it's rather inconvinient. I am interested in examples of TMTOWTDI from all of you :)

I, myself, came up with the following ways to go about the problem:

• Manually go through the files and change the line. That's the last thing I'll do. Actually, I will not do it. :) I am just putting it here for the bullet thing.
• Write a small script/Makefile to do the thing and execute it every time I need to publish a stable version.
• Configure CVS properly to do it when "cvs release" command is issued. I've heard that that's possible, but never did it myself.
• ...? ;)

All ideas and comments are very well welcome. TIA.

P.S.: I am not posting it into SoPW, since this is a generic question and more or less applies to projects in any other language.
