[ECOS] eCos CVS server still obsolete?

[ECOS] eCos CVS server still obsolete?

[Fabrice Gautier]

Hi,

Last year I complained about eCos cvs server wasn't generating correct
diffs because of a bug corrected in more recent versions.

Today I'm complaining because it looks like the old CVS server doesn't
support the "update -C" option.

This will hoppefully convince somebody to do the - probably
painfull - update of the cvs server.. :-)

Thanks

It may be worth complaining on one of the more high volume lists which
also use the CVS server. eg one of the gcc lists? 

You could also try a directed email at sourcemaster@sources.redhat.com

It's a well known issue. The cvs server that Red Hat uses has a bunch of
hacks that need preserving. Unfortunately no-one has had the problem to
apply these hacks to a new version of the sources and test it.
