Thanks for the note. I certainly agree that CVS access is a vital
step forward.
I certainly can aim for that.
The key question is CVS vs subversion. Which you have already
seen the beginning of that discussion.
I am still waiting on the approval from sourceforge for the
site.
I will then work on the next step.
If the subversion discussion moves forward, it will translate to
a non-sourceforge service on a machine in norway. And I assume
mark will tell me what he wants me to do with that.
In the mean time, I will work to get CVS and other sourceforge
material up to allow us to delete/depopulate the cfengine
pages on savannah.
I will be out of reach of the next work for the last two weeks
of the month, so I may not get CVS up until early january,
depending on the approval date.
