Hi. I read your post but you really should try to post in plain-text. Anyway, a minor clarification: Linux distro package repositories have nothing to do with CVS. I know it is just terminology, but unfortunately words are all we have to communicate with, y'know.
CVS is a repository system, yes, but it is a system that maintains the development of a project's codebase. Package Repositories maintain a set of binary (as in, already-compiled) finished applications for a given distro. There are a number of different ones, but they mostly work the same way. Installed software is tracked locally, and new software can be automatically downloaded and installed. BTW, I tried the Ubuntu shipit and it is pretty fast and worth the wait. You get stickers! :) later... On Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 10:49 AM, Henry W.
