I disagree with that pretty strongly. I've been getting the latest from CVS without any hassle from sourceforge for a while now. This is the first time I've had to work with the latest again, and the repository has changed. If that repository change means new rules for CVS access, this is a perfectly legitimate place to ask about those new rules. Hence the question, and my distaste at your reply.
I don't think that it should be necessary to register on the site to get CVS guest or anonymous access, just as I wouldn't think it should be necessary to register with a website to gain access to an opensource executable. It's an unnecessary step that is usually used to gather emails. 90% of the OS code out there doesn't require registration for anonymous access and I would be against webwork requiring it as well. It's an impediment to the project's growth because of the extra steps and the aversion a lot of people have to registering themselves on every website that asks them to. I would also think that it would be in the best interest of the growth of the project to save the bile for personal blogs, no? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hani Suleiman Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 5:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] CVS problems You go to java.net, sign up, and apply for the observer role at the webwork project pages. People who run cvs should definitely NOT be users who are too lazy to go through those incredibly simple steps! A project is pretty screwed if its growth depends on instant-gratification anonymous cvs access. On Monday, October 6, 2003, at 08:42 PM, Drew McAuliffe wrote: > How does one go about doing that?
