Documentation is still in CVS?
Hi, Is there a reason why the Wine documentation is still in CVS, and not in GIT? - Lei

Yes. The docs are now maintained at SourceForge, and given the glacial pace of updates, there is little reason to move them to git. Moreover, git presents a much higher barrier to entry, and there's no reason to raise it for (potentially non-technical) documentation contributors. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

Actually I tried to follow the wiki instructions to do a git-cvsimport and it didn't work a week or two ago; and plain "cvs co" did not work either. I have a few other stuff on sourceforge, so the problem seems to be specific to wine. Does anonymous check out work for anybody else? __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo! Mail. A Smarter Inbox http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

The instructions on http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs works for me.

Doesn't work for me: $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous(a)wine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wine co -P docs cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [wine.cvs.sourceforge.net]:2401 failed: Connection timed out $ git cvsimport -C wine-doc -v -k -d :pserver:anonymous(a)wine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wine docs Socket to wine.cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection timed out I'll need to try stunnel and see if it improves things. (but I can still check out stuff from other sourceforge projects...) ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Firewall issue on your side? Can you ping wine.cvs.sourceforge.net? Connect to it on port 80? or port 2401?

Can do port 80, can't do port 2401. Wierd. It is probably problem in my end. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! For Good helps you make a difference http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/forgood/
