I agree. But I do not think we even have CVS access through SSH with
SSH2 key as DD. (I have access to people.d.o and checked it already for
my part.
Our plan should be (considering long term issues too.)
1. move CVS to alitoh. (I do not see special reason to keep DDP not as a
part of alitoh. Besides, this allow me to ask moving my sourceforge
upsteam to DDP.)
2. Josip and few other active DDs become admin accounts in alitoh.
3. Some DD (Josip or aph) runs CRON to build updated web page when
changed (in chroot/uml, if needed)
4. These generated web pages get mirrored.
No rush. But I was expecting our CVS access to start again sometime
Q1/2004.
Josip, thanks in advance :-)
