[PyCS-devel] Looks like sourceforge CVS is borken somehow - old backup?

[Bauer, G. <ba...@gw...>]

Hi!

I just did a (non-anonymous) cvs update -d on my repository and got several
update notices. Looking into the log I found that there weren't actually any
changes in CVS at all. And there was a problem updating zeitgeist.py (I had
made some changes to search_engines.py and zeitgeist.py to include some more
search engines and to fix some already included ones). And more important:
it removed newuser.py! It looks like SF imported a backup, and a rather old
one :-/

I get this, and due to that problem can't commit zeitgeist.py to CVS (I can
- and did - commit search_engines.py, though).

Phil: if you want to, we can move PyCS CVS stuff to simon. No problem with
commit rights on that machine, too, as I already have ssh accounts up and
running. SF CVS is really a piece of shit :-/

Since I don't now have a current PyCS source tree (as I don't know what SF
might have broken in my sources), I need a tarball of some current checkout
(not too current though!), to rebuild it. Or maybe Phil can do a new commit
to SF, so I can do a new checkout with hopefully correct sources, then.

bye, Georg
