That's unrealistic. They could be using CVSNT because of its many features over standard CVS. Moreover, switching from CVSNT to CVS is not necessarily trivial. For my setup, for example, I would have to checkout Emacs again or modify every single CVS/root file, which currently is like :ssh;key='\path\to\my\key':username@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs > It's still an annoyance, and being straightforward about it doesn't > make it less so. I can not deny that it is annoying. But I don't think we should be judging free software as less worthy of our support because of some minor annoyance. > I'm suggesting to fix VC instead > so that the official gnu.org ports could be used instead. I'm trying CVS 1.12.13a from http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/binary/, and, in a ironic twist, that's part of the output of cvs -H: The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control. For CVS updates and additional information, see the CVS home page at http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ or the CVSNT home page at http://www.cvsnt.org/ Juanma
