Hi Gerfried,
I was about to answer you that once we went to the pain of preparing a change,
committing is is easy, but interstingly today I ran into a problem.
In webwml/english/devel/debian-med/News/2011/20110124.wml, I used the wrong
encoding, and wanted to correct it. For this, I did recode UTF-8..ISO-8859-15
20110124.wml, and tried to commit it with ‘cvs commit’, but CVS did not
recognise the change, and was exiting with no message, doing nothing.
I was about to send you the file and ask you to kindly commit it, but after
investigating further and wasting my time with a couple of cvs log and cvs diff
commands, that need SSH connection to Alioth (load average: 26.00, 24.66,
17.64), I finally figured out that I need to touch 20110124.wml for the changes
to be recognised. Yes I learned a CVS trick, but this is useless knowledge for
me. I do not use CVS anywhere else since 2004. And other VCSes I use do not
suffer from that blindness to changes.
Cheers,
