Attic gone?

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi,

I want to look at some old files I checked into LinuxBIOS CVS a looong
time ago, implementing LDTSTOP_L. But SF's ViewCVS does not show the
Attic anymore.. is there a trick to get them?

It seems it's also impossible to check out the old files with 
    cvs co -D "2003-07-30 20:00" freebios2

Very weird.  I would run cvs log to see if you can spot the proper revisions
and see if you can check out the individual files.  I know I have
been able to ckeck out older files in the past..

No, it's completely gone. I've been talking about amd8111_ldtstop.c and
the according part in northbridge/. Seems Sourceforge cleaned out all
the deleted files for the linuxbios tree.

I've got CVS snapshots going back to October 2003 if thats
any help.

As it's quite small, I've attached amd8111_ldtstop.c,v from

freebios/freebios2/src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/Attic/amd8111_ldtstop.c,v

dated 13-Oct-2003 from the 30-May-2004 snapshot.

bitkeeper anyone? I'm using it for a lot of projects and going back to 
sourceforge all the time is getting annoying.

If we made regular releases bitkeeper might be an option.
As it is I have extreme problems with their free license.

Stefan how has using arch for openbios been working?

I wrote some scripts doing daily snapshots a while ago when OpenBIOS was
using bitkeeper.

I'm happy with it, some points:

* It combines the flexibility, distribution and enhanced functionality
  (like decent merge algorithms) of bitkeeper and the open source 
  development model and licensing.

* There are .rpm and .deb packages available for all major 
  distributions, clients for windows are also available.

* It works with wide spread communication layers such as ssh, ftp or 
  webdav

* Due to it's distributed concept there is no "main" tree except through 
  definition. There's no difference between a local repository and a
  remote one.

* Syncing from/to a CVS tree is easy as long as there's only one sync
  direction. The available software even intelligently pairs CVS 
  checked in files into changesets. Patrick Mauritz set up a local
  freebios2 arch tree like this a while ago on openbios.org. It was a
  matter of less than an hour iirc.

* After the arch people were strictly focussed on a clean design they 
  also take usability a lot more into regard these days.

* To make life easier for OpenBIOS developers we have a tight howto 
  available at http://www.openbios.org/experience/gnuarch.html
  All in all it is no harder than cvs or bk if you are new to it.

* Repository browsing for the openbios arch repositories is available
  at http://www.openbios.org/cgi-bin/viewarch.cgi
  It works a lot like the well known viewcvs.

* Unlike bitkeeper I have full control over my source trees sitting on
  my own machine with a reliable high speed connection. No dependency on
  bkbits or sourceforge.net resources/bandwidth.

If you have concerns that should be met, tell me.
