Hi, I had written a bit of info about that in the news item about the CVS changes. This can be ignored.
This means I upgraded the default CVS repositories config, that our log_accum script is using old-style loginfo syntax, which will be forsaken sometimes in the future. I'm already working on this; I should be able to merge our version of log_accum with the upstream one (included with CVS) at the same time, as you suggested a few weeks ago. -- Sylvain On Tue, Dec 20, 2005 at 09:58:36PM -0500, Richard M.
