This will be moderately painful, but it's better to do the painful thing now while we can still stamp out the old cruft. "linux-2.3" will be renamed to "linux" "binutils-2.10" will be renamed to "binutils" If you currently have a tree checked out, you will need to change all of your CVS/Repository files to point to the new directory names. With bash you can do it like this: $ cd linux-2.3 $ for i in `find . -name Repository`; do echo "linux" > $i; done $ cd binutils-2.10 $ for i in `find . -name Repository`; do echo "binutils" > $i; done You can do this now, since there is a symlink set up to support both names. The alias for the old name will be removed Wednesday. If you do not hack your tree by then you won't be able to play (update, checkout, etc) until you have the right repository entries. Can someone please update the recipe and cvs info on www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc? Until the docs are updated, you can mentally substitute "linux" for "linux-2.3" and "binutils" for "binutils-2.10". These should be the last directory games we play in the repository. After this, new vendor versions should be checked into the existing directories (on a branch). This will reduce the confusion from using directory names for version control. - Mike. P.S. If out of archeological interest you're looking for the old {linux, binutils, binutils-old, egcs-old} directory, it's been moved under directory "obsolete". e.g. "cvs co obsolete/binutils-old".
