distribution management
Hello All:
In the process of designing a linux distro based on debian I find that I need some kind of revision management on the distro level. Anybody have a suggestion?? CVS is for text....

"designing a linux distro"
What do you mean here?
And I think you can use CVS on bininary files as well. My friend has / (root) in CVS.

/ in cvs?
so you would have to check in and check out binaries?
how would you run system commands and have cvs track those changes?

I'm not sure how he does it. I think he just checks out the config files and is able to roll back anything and also I think it's rediculious. I just use RCS for my small stuff. But tell me more about your "designing a linux distro".

Any idea where I can find some documentation on that? (cvs / (root) - many of my problems are the lack of finding the approiate 3 keywords for google.

Well I would have to dig up my buddies email to ask him how he does it. But I don't think that is nessesary because 'man CVS' and 'a CVS howto' should get you started going on that. Let me look, OK:
