It'd be nice. Yes, I'd like it, if it's not a problem for anyone. Otherwise I'll try the above method, or slowly drag it out of CVS. I'm assuming that occasional linux-2.5 tarballs might be useful for people other than me of course ... > > Also the /cvs directory contains a few files that look like stuff-ups > > from the CVS tarball roller: linux-.tar.gz and patch-.diff.gz ... > > I can see them... but I can also see the CVS scripts are still running. > Possibly they'll be renamed later. Doesn't seem to be; they're empty files (though > 0 bytes from gzip). I think the checkout script is using an empty variable, eg linux-$i.tar.gz or whatever. The 'latest' softlinks are to these empty files. I can't see any likely-looking tarball-rolling scripts in CVSROOT/ so I'm unable to investigate further.
