Just so some folks don't get suprised about Peters action here in the repository, he is my understudy for providing more support in the area of cvs repository management and has my approval to do these types of emergency repairs. I should still be the first line contact, but trust Peter's judgement on doing things in there like this. > Umm. did you panic and hit ^C during the import by any chance? Hummm.. I would like to know this too. As cvs should not have aborted on it's own and not sent out the mail. If it did we have a bug that needs to get fixed some place. > BTW, how long before that 24-hour grace period is up? It really is a 72 hour grace period for most direct repository operations (72 hours after being placed into the Attic that is). No direct repository operations should be done to files outside of the Attic as this can easily screw some one over who happens to have the file checked out and active. The reasoning I am using here is that if I place a file in the Attic, within 6 hours freefall will have removed it from /usr/src (or other auto updated areas.) Most other hosts at *.cdrom.com will have done it within 24 hours, and most folks supping the cvs bits will have done it within 72 hours. If I don't wait this amount of time folks have cvs updates that could potential fall over, which I know have happened in the past until I started using the grace period (heck it happened to myself 3 or 4 times before I got smarter about these things :-)). -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
