The simple answer is no. We are stuck with tsa in the root forever more. The more complicated answer is that someone with a good understanding of CVS can grab the entire CVS tree and manually edit the files so that tsa never appears at the root level, then ask source forge to please replace the CVS tree with the new one. I am not that person. Anyone else up to the challenge? Paul Kienzle pki...@us...

Arbritary shell code in that file can be executed at cvs commit. I can try the trick for removing the tsa directory. Should I? -- Rafael |

We have backups of the tarball. But please wait for a couple of days. I have finished sending FIXES patches to John (he has accepted most of them) and now I have to update the build to reflect this. Also, we are most of the way toward having a "Functions by category" html set which is much needed documentation on the state of octave/octave-forge. I just need to find the energy to build some nice html and maybe finish the last 10% of the categorization. No test target in the make file for this release :-( When these are done, I will cut a version for Dirk to include in Debian, then we can start hacking on the CVS server. Thanks, Paul Kienzle pki...@us...

Actually, removing the tsa directory with the CVSROOT/loginfo trick is extremely straightforward and should do no harm to the CVS tree. I just did a test with a local CVS repository and it works fine. However, I understand your reluctance to doing hacks when a major release is under way. Just tell me when I am allowed to do the hack. After doping it, I will post the cookbook here, so anybody can do similar things in the future. -- Rafael |

I am back home now, and I see that a new release of octave-forge was out last week. Should I try to remove that tsa/ directory now? -- Rafael |
