What we need is a copy of the repository (complete with CVSROOT). cvsup can export that. > Can we set up any of our own patch management tools, e.g. Tanaka's > scripts for applying patches from the mailing list and then running > "cvs import"? Probably negotiable. If I've got CVS read access to the repository, then I'd rather people checked patches directly to it (that way they're more likely to provide meaningful RCS logs, which I'd guess Tanaka's scripts can't?). Then the issue is whether the core developers can use CVS over ssh, and what to do with random people who have patches (even I provided a tiny one, once, though it's gone long ago). I'd guess the former is not a problem, and that the latter can be dealt with using the patch manager. I could be quite wrong, though. I have the impression that special things like this can be negotiated; perhaps someone could ask if this really is desirable.
