What issues have you run into trying to get Meta-CVS on Solaris? There exists a website ``www.solaris4u.dk'' which hosts categorized lists of software that apparently run on Solaris. Meta-CVS and other version control systems are stuck under the ``search engines'' category. http://www.solaris4you.dk/searchenginesSS.html The table suggests that the program was at least built on Solaris 2.8 and 2.9, SPARC and X86. Maybe the site's maintainer has binaries. I don't use Solaris, but I'd be happy to incorporate patches, if any, that are needed to get it running, and host the binary tarballs too. > (ps - also wrt MetaCVS... why isn't there a sourceforge project for it?) The conditions are not right. So far, I have received very few patches for Meta-CVS. Every ChangeLog entry has my name on it! So there isn't a development team that needs a central repository. Read-only repository access for the masses would make sense if it was such a widely used, busy and buggy program that it was mandatory for thousands of people to get the latest codebase several times a day in hopes that the latest and greatest will solve their problems. A mailing list would be needed for similar reasons. The Meta-CVS-related traffic that I receive in my personal mailbox is so small that it doesn't require its own list. The odd time two people have the same ideas or problems, so I may put them in touch. A better question is: why isn't there actual working source code for 90% of the Sourceforge projects? :) _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
