In the past, we've maintained several bind mounts for CVSROOT for |
| 4 |
compatibility reasons. This is causing some headers in ebuilds to have |
| 5 |
'/var/cvsroot' while others have '/home/cvsroot'. This presents a problem |
| 6 |
when it comes to signed packages and manifests. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
So, we're consolidating onto one CVSROOT: /var/cvsroot. |

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO |
| 11 |
-------------------- |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* change your CVSROOT variable to point to /var/cvsroot. Mine is stored in |
| 14 |
my ~/.bash_profile. I currently have: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
export CVSROOT="klieber@××××××××××.org:/home/cvsroot" |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
In the new setup, I will have: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
export CVSROOT="klieber@××××××××××.org:/var/cvsroot" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
That's it. That's all you have to do. This path works now, so you can |
| 23 |
make the change immediately. |

WHEN YOU NEED TO DO THIS BY |
| 27 |
---------------------------- |

|
| 29 |
* Monday, June 7th at 0000UTC |

|
| 32 |
WHAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO |
| 33 |
--------------------------- |
| 34 |
* complain about /var vs. /home vs. /server vs. /foo. Life is about |
| 35 |
choices and I've made one here. Deal. :) |

Starting Monday at 0001UTC, we will also be working on a fundraiser for |
| 39 |
Gentoo Infrastructure. We will be charging $5 USD to any dev who ignores |
| 40 |
this email and stumbles into IRC complaining loudly about their CVS access |
| 41 |
no longer working. We anticipate raising at least $500 from this, which |
| 42 |
will go straight to an evening full of beer, women and debauchery for the |
| 43 |
-infra team at the upcoming LWE. Your help in funding this party is |
| 44 |
appreciated. |
