I would like to put our source tree under CVS, for the following
reasons:
* I would like to be able to find out about changes to the
tree.
* I want to be able to branch and tag for releases for NetBSD
and Linux, so that we know what sources went into a
particular release.
* I want to test how well this approach works before I put the
Athena source tree under CVS.
Disk space requirements: /afs/sipb/project/sipb-athena/src currently
consumes 110MB, with about 16MB in RCS files and about 20MB of
additional RCS history and some tar files and crap in the AFS source
tree. Our space requirements would therefore be a repository of about
75MB, another 75MB in the checked-out source tree we use for builds,
plus anything a developer checks out. Presumably, a developer would
only check out modules he or she is actually working on.
Two prerequisites for creating a repository are getting CVS in the gnu
locker to work for Linux, and working with John Kohl to clean up the
AFS source tree.
I will probably want to make this change some time in February, if
people don't find this a bad idea.
