  Cool, thanks.

  Wow, gdb 5.0 is out.

  Even better, if it works it might reduce or
spread out the merging workload.  Maybe.

  Yep.

  I don't know if CVSup will solve any of our
problems, but I think it's probably worth trying.
Here are some logistical problems I can foresee:

1. Running the cvsupd daemon at sourceware.
   This should be fairly straighforward...there
   don't seem to be any security implications
   and it's a useful service...but then I haven't
   looked at all the issues properly yet.
   Have you talked to your contact about this?

2. Running the cvsup client on the CVS machine
   at sourceforge.  Currently sf users do not
   have shell access to this machine, so we'd
   need co-operation from the sf admins.  That's
   probably not too hard but I hesitate to ask
   them to bend their own rules before we've
   figured out if CVSup will actually do the job.

  In light of 2 perhaps we'd better set up a
small trial installation of cvsupd/cvsup on
an expendable repository pair and play with it
a while.

Greg.
