Hi all,

 

Well, the situation is even worse than we first realized, so we haven't
yet finished and will continue on Monday.

 

We have identified a total of 8 commits which introduce EOL only
changes.  Also some unauthorized changes to NSLS2 stuff, expanded CVS
keywords (files copied from an old CVS checkout?), and permission
changes (files marked executable by FTP or memory stick?). The commits
which will be dropped, will be saved as patch files to be emailed to the
offender. 

 

I'd like everybody to understand that the common repository is as good
as the worst user: it takes one to make it useless. At a minimum,
whoever is using it has to:

 

1) Consider what he is planning to change

2) Take care to change only what he plans

3) Review his changes before publishing them (hg outgoing before a push
allows you to see what you are pushing)

 

I think it may be necessary, as it is custom in other projects, to
institute (temporary) revoke of permissions on the central repository
for those people who lack  either the skill or the courtesy to follow
these simple rules. They can have their changes reviewed and pushed by
somebody else during that period. I am not even talking about changes
that introduce bugs: these are changes that either make the repository
useless or changes that break/interfere on plugins that the commiter has
no place in touching. These cannot be tolerated.

 

Have a good week-end,

Gabriele

Still in progress... It's taking way longer than we expected...

Hi all,

 

We are in the process of cleaning up the repository. Please, hold any
change. We will let you know when the process is over.

 

Thanks,

Gabriele
