Re: What's up with the CVS sever?
The XEmacs project is also at SourceForge. The plan was to put the
web site there, and move the rest of the project if things worked out.
We are still evaluating SourceForge.
I would still prefer getting our own machine that we have complete
control over. I hate feeling like a guest at cvs.xemacs.org,
ftp.xemacs.org, and SourceForge. I want root!
I know the feeling. We have a much smaler project there, and so far we
never had problems with CVS (after the initial pain).
The only thing that happens very rarely is that someone would leave a lock.
But they seem to have a daemon that kicks in fairly frequently and removes
them.
Some things don't work there (or didn't work back in Feb-March). For
instance, cvs watch couldn't be made to send email back then. Maybe they
fixed it now, but we gave up before that.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I have never built xemacs-packages.
I
just use the pre-built sumos. Just call me `Linus'.

OK, hope Steve can respond.
Since I went through the pain of checking out the packages and "almost
succeeding" in building them, I hope I might as well succeed with a bit of
hand-holding.
