Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] CVS access to Orbit

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

December 21st was the end of the world as far as committer CVS write 
access was concerned.

However it was not the end of the world as far as user CVS read access 
was concerned.

A variety of examples and documentation describe fetching code from CVS. 
It is not feasible
to rewrite such text within Helios/Indigo/Juno distributions taht are 
still in use.

It is also a major pain for us committers. For instance, when a Bugzilla 
report refers to line 45 of version 1.9 of a file;
without viewcvs, it takes significantly longer to identify the line in 
question.

There seems absolutely no benefit in retracting this useful facility and 
breaking functionality upon which
the current Juno release documentation depends.

    Regards

        Ed Willink
