Indeed the restored CVS repository is a little old. My arch repository (emacs@sv.gnu.org) seems to have been restored intact, but it doesn't have all the missing CVS contents. According to "cvs -nq update", there's only one change in the arch repository which isn't in the restored CVS repository: 2007-03-11 Andreas Seltenreich * man/gnus.texi (Mail and Post): Update documentation for gnus-user-agent. The variable now uses a list of symbols instead of just a symbol. Reported by Christoph Conrad . [synced to arch at 2007-03-11 23:54:42 GMT] Oddly enough, that's _not_ the latest commit in the arch repository -- there's one other which is later, which _is_ in the restored CVS repository: 2007-03-11 Juri Linkov * lisp/replace.el (match): Use yellow background on light-bg terminals. [synced to arch 2007-03-12 00:37:04 GMT] So it looks like not every directory is restored from the same time? [There's a bit more in other branches, e.g. my latest trunk->unicode sync seems to be missing from the restored CVS repository.] Maybe the best thing is to restore from NIIMI Satoshi's rsync of the repository? [He said it's from 2007-03-13 02:48 GMT] I think the changes from the restored repository to the rsync would be small enough that they could probably be verified by eye. -Miles -- People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like.
