There are a lot of legacy paths to the same place that never made a lot of sense to me. But we have maintained them because for any particular thing there are dozens of people using that path. Both web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org and cvs.savannah.gnu.org are the same system and in practice interchangeable. I think I accidentally dropped web.cvs at one point because I didn't know anything about it and didn't know to preserve it and immediately people who were using it started to file bug tickets. Which is basically to say that I don't know the real distinction between them at this time. On that system there are four paths. Two that appear to be primary and two that appear to be aliases. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 19 2019 cvsroot -> sources lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jun 17 2019 sources -> cvsdata/sources lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 2019 web -> cvsdata/web lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 18 2019 webcvs -> web I imagine that in the earlier days when everything was cvs and everything was on one system that /sources held all of the sources and /web held web pages. I infer by that the symlinks for cvsroot points to sources that it is an alias and that webcvs points to web that it is also an alias. That something uses a symlink makes no difference to the user using it. I have just been preserving them along. The cvsdata consolidation is my creation however. That allows the data to be mounted from a separate partition from the OS and not included in the root system partition. Those used to be directories on the root partition and the data there. I relocated that data onto its own partition. So personally I don't see a need for a new domain name. But neither am I opposed to a new domain name either. Personally I would put them in a different directory in the same domain name. I do have some concern about namespaces and I am thinking that putting them in a different directory from sources would be most generic. Bob
