No you can't.
1- you don't have RW so why do you checkout "newsite" the website????
2- it is a VERY convenient way for us to update the site directly by working
with CVS.
So it shouldn't bother you and it makes our life easier...

|Subject: [JBoss-dev] Can I suggest that the binaries be removed from CVS
|please ?
|
|
|They make the initial checkout from CVS extremely slow as it download over
|10MB of binaries from the "newsite" module alone.
|
|I propose that CVS should generally only include source files. We should
|recognize that we provide binaries as a convenience for visitors to be able
|to grab a copy, try it, be amazed, and join the community without any
|hassles. Binaries should be available from the site for download
|and ideally
|would be created automatically using a cron task or similar. But
|they should
|not be in CVS.
|
|If we need to be able to track historical versions of our binaries then, I
|suggest that we use CVS to it's fullest by tagging all the files that go
|into particular releases. We can then rebuild by checking out tagged files.
|If that doesn't work - perhaps because of dependencies on third-party
|projects - the we can use a separate CVS module for historical binary
|distributions. I doubt that anyone would want to sync with this module but,
|if you wanted a copy of EJBoss v0.5 for your very own EJB Hall of Fame,
|you'd know where to look... ;-)
|
|Of course there may be a perfectly good reason why binaries are needed and
|I'm sure that someone would no doubt point it out once they read this...
|
|Cheers!,
