Hi,
I've received my account information and everything appears to work
Welcome on board!
fine. In the guides for setting up CVS there are several ways to set up tunneling
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsonwin32.html
but instead I used the :ext: protocol and set CVS_RSH=ssh with cygwin, just like I do for sourceforge. Would I get any benefit from using ssh tunneling?
Don't know, maybe to work around some firewall issues (I'm using CVS_RSH=ssh myself on linux)
When I committed my first modification I got the CVS/Template file shown, but from browsing around a bit in the archives of commit mails, I couldn't find an example of anyone using that Template. What is the policy on this?
Mmmh, sometimes the PR;/Submitted by: is used but most of the times it just gets deleted.
I also guess that we are not yet updating any CHANGES files with the modification we make?
We *should* (status.xml for HEAD and CHANGES for maintenance-branch) status.xml will be rendered nicely to http://xml.apache.org/fop/changes.html
