Bug#116936: [PATCH]: cvs.debian.org instructions confusing

[David Kimdon <dwhedon@debian.org>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2001-10-24
Severity: wishlist

The instructions at cvs.debian.org telling how to check out projects 
from cvs are confusing.  People often try to check out a project like this:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/boot-floppies login

but they should do:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-boot login

I suggest the following patch to /etc/viewcvs.conf on klecker.  
Should this sort of thing be a bug against ftp.debian.org?, 
sent to debian-admin?, other?

Thanks,


David

     Debian CVS repositories are available via anonymous CVS pserver using a
     CVSROOT of <b>:pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/<i>project-root</i></b>. 
+    Where <i>project-root</i> is one of the projects you see listed in the pull-down menu below (debian-boot, debian-doc etc.).
     The login password is blank (press enter).
