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

Picking on no one in particular from a "Eclipse Corner CVS" search.

http://waynebeaton.wordpress.com/2006/04/11/updating-eclipse-corner-articles/

"Eclipse Corner GIT" gives very little.

The community hardship angle is getting rather overplayed. Ok, so the user

sees a reference to CVS and it doesn't work. What are they going to do next?
Go to project website, perhaps, where they see a notice that source is now

in Git. If they don't end up on the website, maybe they ask a question on
the forum. After a few people ask this question, Google is going to know the
answer.

So the user spends a couple of extra minutes researching the source repo,
but in return they end up looking at the repo that's in use instead of
something that's dead.

Hi

But the whole ethos of Eclipse is Open Source. We make our source available.
We encouarge users to read and copy. Of course our documentation referred to
CVS.

I am really amazed that we allow one of our outstanding achievements to be

destroyed for such a trivial reason.

But how could authors of Helios documentation change their
documentation to use GIT?!!

Hi Ed,

I totally understand your point and frustration.

However havnt we all been warned by Wayne in numerous emails that
"CVS will be shutdown" at the 21st December 2012 for over one year now.

CVS shutdown is not the same thing as "set to readonly".

So I think if that was a concern it should have been brought up way
earlier.

Just my 2 cents

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

While Denis is pealing himself off the ceiling, I'll chime in.
Isn't this all in git now? I thought Orbit was the only thing
officially left in CVS.

:D

Hi Denis

Thanks. CVS from PSFs works again.

If we now have an anonymous CVS server for Orbit, can we please
restore the anonymous CVS access for the other repositories too
so that Helios, Indigo, Juno facilities work again for ordinary

users?

        Regards

            Ed Willink

I've re-enabled pserver CVS for /cvsroot/tools.  I'm hoping
someone can try it out, since my modern-day computer doesn't
ship with cvs :-D

Hi

My understanding is that CVS has been preserved for Orbit, at
least temporarily, but anonymous access has not.

How am I expected to rewrite PSF fetches (for use by ordinary
users) such as

<provider id="org.eclipse.team.cvs.core.cvsnature">
<project

reference="1.0,:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/too
ls, org.e
clipse.orbit/lpg.runtime.java,lpg.runtime.java,v2_0_17"/>
</provider>
