[Savannah-help-public] address@hidden: Re: source repository]

[Richard Stallman]

When I look at the Emacs package page, under "Development tools",
it lists the Arch repository first.

That is misleading, because the principal repository is in CVS.
This message shows that developers are actually being misled.

Can you please arrange to put the CVS repository first?

What causes the Arch repository to appear first?  Is it, as
Jason speculates, that Arch and CVS are listed in alphabetical
order?  If so, that needs to be changed, because it will be misleading
in general.

You understood incorrectly. Some developers use arch, but the definitive 
repository for Emacs is CVS. Since Miles is away at the moment, the arch 
synching is not happening. I'm not sure why savannah lists arch above 
cvs (probably it is alphabetical order), but it is misleading - there 
should be some indication there that the main repository is CVS.
