If you want to create links into cvs.debian.org, the following is the proper format: http://cvs.debian.org/<path_to_file_or_dir>?cvsroot=<repository> For example, http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list.wml?cvsroot=webwml The top level can be given as http://cvs.debian.org/ -- James (Jay) Treacy treacy@debian.org
