Hi folks,

The CVS repository was a little confusing to me at first, and i expect
it will be to others, too, so i'm thinking of doing a little cleaning up
in CVS.  Currently we have 4 directories at the top level of CVS:
        STABLE          versions 1.3 & 1.4
        STABLE2         versions 2.0 & 2.2
        Shorewall       staging area 1.2 - 1.4
        Shorewall2      development for 2.0 - 2.4

Here's what i propose:

- Move the main development trunk back to Shorewall.

- Create a number of branches from this trunk for all of the latest
versions of previous stable branches (as far as this can be
constructed).  Currently this consists of:
   2.4.0
   2.2.5
   2.0.16
   1.4.10f
   1.3.14a
   1.2.13

- Perform all future development in Shorewall, creating branches for
each major version, patching stable versions as necessary, and merging
any important fixes back into the trunk.

I'll start working on some exports that will enable me to create those
branches in the main Shorewall directory, and i'll plan start saving
them into CVS later this week.  Please let me know if you can see any
flaws in this plan.

BTW, if anyone from the LRP side of things can tell me what i should be
doing with Lrp* at the top of CVS, i'd be grateful.
