This works, thanks. For updating, only cvs update in the Exec
directory is needed, when you've already checked out a version.

cvs commit is not enough?

When you are used to it, it's no problem.

I'm having problems with gettings Exec to work.

I'm running RH 7.3, which installs the following for Python:

$ rpm -q python
python-1.5.2-38
$ rpm -q python2
python2-2.2-16

The scripts look for python, which is python 1.5.2 ;-(

Finding help gives:

$ ./Main.py -v -help
Traceback (innermost last):
File "./Main.py", line 96, in ?
main()
File "./Main.py", line 48, in main
i18n_init()
File "./Util.py", line 39, in i18n_init
gettext.install("a-a-p")
AttributeError: install

I haven't done anything with Python yet, so it's probably easy to fix.
Maybe a FAQ for problems like this is a good idea.

What are the dependencies of the project?
Which tools have to be installed in order for letting it work?

Best regards,

Aschwin Marsman
