# exportit -- a simple little script to export something and
# make a tarbal of it, in mostly automated fasion.  Could do
# more error checking, but if things are happy, it works.  :-)

# name you wanna call this...  Perhaps this should be `basename
# $path`, but whatever:
name=ttyload

# automagical settings for things:
path=`cat CVS/Repository`
version=`cat Version`
cvsvers=${name}_`echo "$version" | sed -e 's/[ \.]/_/g'`
dirname="$name-$version"

# let the user know what the settings came up with:
echo "Creating export of $name version $version (CVS: $cvsvers)"

# export, and if that fails, bail.
cvs export -d "$dirname" -r "$cvsvers" $path || exit 1

# then tar and gzip:
tar cvf "$dirname.tar" "$dirname"
gzip -9fv "$dirname.tar"
