I intend to spend tonight restoring the Mesa CVS files. I've used
find/grep to locate most of the files in the lost+found directory on
the server. I just have to move them to their proper places and
make sure the CVS server is alive. I hope/expect that we'll be back
in business by Friday.
As for dead locks, Keith Whitwell now has access to the CVS server
so if I'm off line for more than a day Keith could likely take care
of such problems.
I appreciate your offer. Perhaps you'd like to mirror the CVS/ftp
services as a backup.
VA Linux Systems is making a new commitment to better supporting open-
source projects like Mesa. In spite of all the recent problems I'm
willing to give them another chance.
