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

<p>
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).
