Unfortunately this doesn't address the problem in a suitable way as it makes it almost impossible for multiple developers to work on the same code-base. Am I assumed to search and apply patches to my own copy of the eCos tree? If yes, then different developers will end up with different code-bases by applying different patches. > What i have also done in the past is setup my own CVS server for > packages which are under development by multiple developers.

Yes, that was the suggestion, AFAIU, -- setup something so that multiple developers around the world could do things this way, and eCosCentric seems to be the party that might be interested. -- Sergei.
