Question about cvs-all mail list

2004-07-12 Thread BSDjunkie
Hello all!

Seems like there is a lot of activity on the cvs-all
mailing list...however I was wondering what the
information that passes through that list can do for
me?

I am not a developer and do not wish to track the
'bleeding edge'.

Other than telling me what files are being modified
and how many lines of code were added or
taken-away...what benefit does that knowlege have for
me?

Anybody here find it useful?

Thanks!

Mark

Well, that is exactly the purpose of that list: to give developpers an
overview about what's happening in other parts of the CVS repositiory.

If you're not a developper, there is no reason to subscribe to that list
-- even as user who is running -CURRENT: There is the current@ mailing
list for discussions about the `bleeding edge' (development, testing,
debugging, etc.)

There is also a weekly summary about the cvs-src mailing list, so both
interested users and developers can inform themselves abouts what's
going on:
