Fedora CVS repository open
Want to be REAL sure you notice this: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/departments/fedor... That's Right CVS is open - you need to run, don't walk, to: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com It's all exciting - except for the boring parts. Tomorrow morning we will have another exciting item for you but I'm busy typing things and colin is on an airplane and all the other slackers are sleeping or some such nonsense as that so you'll have to wait until the morning. Deal. It's a bright, shiny, new day. But the fog isn't quite lifted yet. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list (Log in to post comments)
Great news, makes reviewing patches easier Posted Dec 21, 2004 10:14 UTC (Tue) by jfs (subscriber, #7140) [Link] I believe having an open CVS repository is great news both to those that are interested in reviewing what Fedora produces (in terms of patches) and those that want to contribute to the project. It certainly makes it easier (at least for me) to review the patches than mirroring the whole distribution (or SRPMS) and, one by one, reviewing which patches have been introduced. It is also much lighter (since the original source code is not included in the CVS as the .spec defines where to retrieve it from).
I've already found some interesting (security) patches I will forward to Debian's BTS for review so that we include them in our packages too. I've done this for some packages (like sysklogd, see Debian Bug #281448 and #278892) and I'm eager to review other packages and try to combine (in Debian) the great work done by other free software developers and has not been adopted yet upstream.
