Hello,
when I browse cvs (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/src/) everything is at least 5 days old, why can't I see the last changes ? I'm trying to update my local cvs to try Robert Crosbie changes concerning icons but can't get recent files (CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@...54...:/cvsroot/inkscape). What am I doing wrong ?

Probably nothing. SourceForge's policy is to keep anonymous CVS 24-hr's behind. The viewcvs may be even older, I'm not sure. Give it another day or two.
What most people have been doing is submit a couple patches and gain developer access to CVS, which is kept up to the minute. We definitely encourage this if you wish to track the leading edge of the code.

It's about six days since it doesn't update.

It would be great for people like me (maybe contributing to trivial things), that want to see updated code... although I know is sourceforge problem. I haven't even seen the patch I sent to Makefile.am, that was applied six days ago...

Strange. If it's still broke, maybe put in a ticket with SourceForge?

What we've done to address this is set up a snapshot of CVS that is updated hourly. Kees Cook was kind enough to set this up, and you can get it here:

My intention was daily... there's usually not a lot of work being done during the week.

Ah, I had thought you mentioned it as being hourly. My bad.

Are the CVS trees up-to-date when viewed from shell.sf.net? If so, we could generate a cvs tar ball every few hours, and push it to the website for people to get much-newer-than-anonymous-cvs versions from the website?

This would be a good idea. Would you mind setting this up for us?
Bonus points if instead of a CVS snapshot it was able to build a source tarball via 'make dist' (updating the version number, etc.)
We've also discussed making use of the SF compile farms for testing and building binaries, so this work could establish the first step towards that.

I can develop the script, but I can't be the one running it. Since I'm a member of "too many" projects on SF, my group ids are messed up. As a result, I can't write to the project web area. And the SF admins have basically told me "too bad until we fix LDAP". (However, maybe it works from cron rather than an interactive shell.)

Oh! Great idea! I worry that the shell server doesn't have the pre-reqs needed to generate the files, etc. Maybe I can set up something from my home machine?

Okay. I'm in the same boat as you. Maybe we should set up a new SF user 'inkscape' for running these types of things.

That'd be fine, but make sure everything needed for someone else to do it is there in CVS (either the inkscape module or inkscape_project, as appropriate), so it isn't dependent exclusively on one guy's system.
