Hi,
You receive this mail because you are a member of the
http://savannah.gnu.org/project/classpath. Please read it carefully, we
need your help.
Dry summary:
. Make sure everyone in the project is using /cvsroot/classpath
instead
of /cvs
. Make sure anonymous checkout information in your project pages
instruct people to use /cvsroot/classpath and not /cvs
. Detailed instructions for CVS checkout on /cvsroot/classpath
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=85
. When done send a mail to address@hidden
. We will remove classpath from /cvs
Long version:
Could you please check with your co-developers on the classpath
package that you are not using the /cvs repository anymore ? That would
allow us to remove this historical compatibility.
You can check this with
cat CVS/Root
in the checked out source tree. If it prints
subversions.gnu.org:/cvs
you are still using the /cvs repository
if it prints
subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/classpath
you are not using the /cvs repository anymore.
Once you've made sure none of your co-developers is using it,
please ask one of your co-developers to send a mail to address@hidden
so that we can remove the entry for classpath in the /cvs repository.
If you are still using the /cvs repository, the easiest way
to switch to the new is to follow the instructions printed at
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=85
and do a fresh checkout of the whole tree.
If this method is inconvenient for some reason and you are
familiar with CVS, you can substitute /cvs with /cvsroot/classpath
in all the CVS/Root files of your current checkout. We do not advise
you to do this if you don't understand exactly what it means.
You should also make sure that your project pages instruct
people to use /cvsroot/classpath to do an anonymous checkout instead
of /cvs since it will stop to work.
Keeping the old repository for ever is possible in theory. But
it is a source of confusion from time to time and we would very much
appreciate your help in getting rid of it.
Thank you for your assistance,
The CVS hackers and Savannah maintainers.
