Re: Patches for cvs and cvslog

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>]

Speaking of cvs and cvslog -- I think there must be something I'm not
quite understanding about how cvs is supposed to work.

Now, everything works fine when you have one project in your cvs
repository.  But I've just added the Gmane project files to the
repository, so that "gnus" and "gmane" are in the same $CVSROOT.  For
the password file, I'm letting the Gmane users use a different user
name ("gmane"), and I've chowned $CVSROOT/gmane to "gmane.gmane".  Is
that how one is supposed to do it?

It seems to work OK, so perhaps it is the right way, but it seems a
bit... odd.

And how does one make cvslog not emit log messages for "gmane", but
still do it for "gnus"?

(What's Gmane about, you ask?  It's a mail-to-news gateway thing, and
I've now set things up so that I'm not the only one who can
administrate the thing.  It's all done via CVS and news.  None of that
web thing here.  Nuh-uh.

Anyway, you can read more on <URL: http://gmane.org/> when NSI gets
around to pushing out an update.)
