So, is there a reason we had to break CVS links in the AUR interface? I guess one could get the community tree from here: http://www.archlinux.org/cvs/, but the information is wrong as well (cvs.archlinux.org does not exist).

Sweet, so once again my local CVS checkouts are broken. I hate to always play the role of the complainer, but this is becoming a pain. Does no one else still have changes cached locally they never checked in or anything else like that? I understand killing off the ViewCVS instance, but the whole subdomain being gone kinda sucks when it wasn't even announced.

Something like this worked for me for any of you guys that may have checked it out from cvs.archlinux.org rather than plain archlinux.org:

dmcgee@dublin ~/projects/repos/core $ find -name Root | xargs sed -i 's/dan@cvs.archlinux.org/archlinux.org/g'

This one was my fault. I asked aaron if I could kill the web intance, and he said 'whenever'. I just assumed nothing was using that domain anymore.

I just added it back into the bind config. It should replicate out to the slave nameservers in an hour or so..

Not a problem- I was mad at first but the workaround above made it relatively painless. Thanks though, I appreciate your quick fix. :) -Dan

Why do you still have uncommitted changes in CVS when we initially began this move something like 4 or 5 weeks ago. Please commit them if they are important - if they are not important enough to commit after 5 weeks, I automatically assume they are insignificant. And yes, I'm pretty sure you're the only one still using CVS. Travis and I spent about an hour (most of it was Travis though) making CVS workable just for you, when you were one of the more vocal people for moving away from CVS. Please stop using it so we can stop wasting time fixing it when it breaks for you. On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 12:21 PM, Thomas Bächler wrote:

I sent you a personal email about getting rid of the autowifi svn repo so we could repurpose the public svn stuff. Until you give me the go-ahead on that, this can't happen.

2) The description should reflect that we use SVN and that community uses CVS (should mention where one can checkout community)

Which description? In the wiki?

3) There is no web based viewing for community anymore

Sure there is. repos.archlinux.org can display ALL of the old CVS repos too

I think these should be fixed. How they should be fixed depends on how to quick community can move to SVN.

Well when i redid the udev stuff ages ago, I had to let it langish because people told me to. And since CVS can't do offline diffs, I don't even know if I have changes in places. I'm sorry my workflow isn't quite like yours and that I sometimes like to view history through command line tools. I haven't had the chance to do a full checkout and pull the attached patch over and apply it to SVN, but maybe I'll get a chance sometime.

I'm normally a fan of progress and change, but I have to disagree with your tone in this email and how you've managed to move all wrongs to Thomas and I. Makes my work feel wanted around here. -Dan

Couldn't you just use diff? cvs diff would only give you a diff against the latest CVS, not the SVN repo, which may have changes since your changes were made?

I replied you on jabber that day, thought you saw that (as you replied). I have no problem with autowifi in git, I would actually prefer it. But I have no idea how to convert it properly, as the conversion tool iirc responds badly to missing trunk/ directory (I had no trunk/ tags/ etc until one of the last revisions).

No, on the homepage: there is a "CVS" link leading to a site which explains how to use CVS and check out core/extra.

I actually didn't even notice the dropdown field on the right until right now. Anyway, the links in AUR do not point to that site.

Fixed the archweb frontpage to reflect the cvs -> svn change. (changed the cvs link to svn, and modified the instructions therein.) Someone may want to make a news announcement.
