Fvwm commit problem
Hi, I made up a fix for fvwm-menu-desktop but I get errors when I try to commit which I believe are on the CVS server end. I tried yesterday and today. The message I get is: cvs commit: [16:13:51] waiting for nobody's lock in /home/cvs/fvwm/fvwm/bin I believe there is a lock file on the server. Jason, please take a look. -- Dan Espen

The location is academic to how the branches should be structured, etc., which is worth the recap. But sure, having it at fvwm.org is fine, providing Jason's happy hosting it there, of course. -- Thomas Adam -- Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.

I converted my Majordomo2 repository to git and dumped it on github so that I'd have one less thing on that CVS server. Took only a few minutes. You do need access to the raw repository files for the best conversion, but of course I have those. I think that folks here don't like github, so I'll see if I can put together a git server locally. Might take me a bit as I'm buried. See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.fvwm.devel/4839 Which was the last discussion about this. I'm more than happy to help with this, but it cannot be rushed as there's always a few things to work out first. On Github, I've been mirroring and using fvwm and fvwm-web for years. -- Thomas Adam -- Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.
