I have set up CVS mirroring to the FTP areas recently. I can do that if it's desired. I don't know how well it works, though. I have a vague feeling that someone would have done this already if it was a good solution. I don't mind a small number of responsible people (like you) having login access. About 23% of the 526 accounts on sourceware have login access, though. That's too high. I just went through the list and found a bunch of people that I knew had moved on, too. I thought I'd done that not too long ago but I guess it should be a periodic sweep. Can you send me a list of who in the old eCos project should still have direct logins, Jonathan? GCC seems to be a big offender of general login access. I think we probably should be cutting back there, too. Is there any reason for anyone in the gcc project to have general login access anymore? cgf
