Greetings, Over the last few days/weeks there has been several new things added to E17 within CVS and it's come to our attention by those of us who are using scripts written by users such as morlenxus that use the thinktux CVS mirror that it's not the same as SF is. We have been told that thinktux gets the updates, but it's not getting all of the new directories added of new things being added into E itself on the SF mirror. I'm kind confused as to what the point is of thinktux if it's not exactly the same as SF. What this means is that some users are getting *all* of E, and some aren't. How can users successfully test things, use things, or report bugs or anything of that nature ?
The whole point to adding the thinktux CVS mirror was to help eliviate some of the problems we were experiencing from SF at the time and to provide us with a faster CVS mirror. This mirror was also to be kept updated regularly, and possibly even faster than SF was to be updated each day. I personally switched my scripts and all of E over to thinktux checkout and have been using it pretty much from day one. I've just been told that I'm missing a ton of code since thinktux isn't adding new directories. Again, I really don't understand why this road has been taken, as it seems completely silly. IMO, both thinktux and SF should be *exactly* the same. Everyone understands why it should be so I won't go into the full details of that. I'm now having to edit the script that morlenxus took quite a bit of time to write for us that used thinktux to make it use SF again. This also means that I have to move or delete my e17_cvs directory or things don't check out correctly without a fresh directory. What a total pain in the ass I see this as. If thinktux isn't going to mirror the SF server exactly, then just simply do away it once and for all as it's about as useful as tits on a boar hog IMO. I really hope someone that's running this thinktux mirror sees this and takes action immediately to give us the same exact stuff that SF has so we don't have to go through all of this script editing, moving/deleting directories, another full checkout and full recompile. It's a lot of work for absolutely no reason what so ever. -- With kind regards, Cliff Wade (Hawkwind) The box said: Requires Windows 98 or better, So I installed Linux!
