I'm curious what the manual > fixups required were, except for the binary file issue (logo.gif). --cvs-direct was needed to speed it up from 'several days to finish' to 'several hours to finish', but it crashed on a handful of patches [i used the latest devel snapshot so this isnt a complaint]. (one of the crashes was when generating 1860.patch.) Also, 'cvs rdiff' apparently emits an empty patch for diffs that remove a file that end without having a newline character - but this isnt cvsps's problem. (grep for +++ in the patchset to find those cases.) > As to the actual email addresses, for more recent patches, the > Signed-off should help.
