What exactly is the problem with Sourceforge anonymous CVS anyway? I heard that the problems were a temporary measure before they got new hardware to reduce the strain, but I never saw any updates or new news about it after that.
One thing I was thinking. Couldn't a developer with CVS SSH access simply checkout the tree, have a script that deleted the CVS directories, and put that in a downloadable place (sourceforge project page? :) as a nightly/every-other-daily tarball? Linus is talking about the inability to get an anonymous checkout (which is plainly apparent to all of us) but we all know that the real developer CVS is on different boxes and is very well maintained. The other idea, more hacky I guess, is to make an "anonymesa" account with SSH access, and get the SF admins to put it on the readers list so nobody can commit? -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Ison > Sent: 04 September 2003 05:11 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Dri-devel] Re: [OT] Sourceforge CVS > > > > > The philosophy has _never_ been "screw you Billy Goat".
