Hi...
Is there any way to access (read) the CVS tree (like anon-CVS)? Or is
this a security problem? I was hoping that CVSROOT was going to be on the
NetBSD ftp server - but I guess thats not the case. It would be
incredibly usefull to be able to see how something has changed, and the
appropriate log entries. I currently just sift through source-changes
when I want to know how something has changed - but that seems sort of a
waste of time. It would also be a lot easier to maintain local changes if
I could use CVS. I havn't seen any indication that this is available, but
I figured I better ask... How do others maintain local changes? I guess I
could use CVS import on newly supped sources, but going CVS->sup->CVS
seems sort of silly as well..
It would also make it much easier to apply appropriate patches to a 1.2
machine that needs the latest security/bug fixes...
Anyway, no big deal, I figured that I better ask just incase read access
to the CVS tree was available....
Thanks,
Rick
