Well, one evil thought which might help a bit... if somebody has the commits ready so they can be done within a short timespam I could temporarily stop cvsupd on repoman while the commits are done - that way no users would ever get the temporary commit so no PORTEPOCH would be needed. Of course this would need to be coordinated, but I think it could be done. I need to poke the cvsup-master@ people to make sure it doesn't give cvsup-master any problems, but I doubt it should be a problem. -- Simon L. Nielsen
