Apologies that this isn't really related to Inkscape development, but...
I'm having real trouble with checking in the WordPress stuff I did. I was up til nearly 2AM last night trying to get it to work (I got errors when trying to commit), at which point I when to bed grumpily. Anyway, today I finally got it to commit without any errors, but when I look at the repository via the web interface (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape_web/) it seems to have not worked right. The four WordPress-related directories have checked in (wp-*), but NONE of the files seem to have. Furthermore, in the wp-includes, wp-admin and wp-images directories, it seems the "cvs" data directories have also checked in (which they shouldn't have), again, without the files. I'm confused as hell, because the output in the terminal when I committed seemed to be fine. For instance:
RCS file: /cvsroot/inkscape/inkscape_web/wp-includes/vars.php,v done Checking in wp-includes/vars.php; /cvsroot/inkscape/inkscape_web/wp-includes/vars.php,v <-- vars.php initial revision: 1.1 done
That, and other similar output suggests to me that it worked. But maybe I'm missing something?
If anyone can help me out I'd be very grateful. I'm sure this is just my newbie-ness but I can't see where I've gone wrong.
Also, on the topic of Subversion, I'd definitely support switching to that -- this is the first time for me using CVS, but I have used Subversion in the past with zero problems, and CVS is feels like an uphill battle.
Thanks, Jon

Those public views of CVS aren't real-time updated. What you see in your developer CVS tree is true, so as long as "cvs update" sees the files, they're in there.

Oh right, okay. Maybe my situation is not quite as dire as I thought then :).
Another thing I found, is that when performing any action to do with the repository, such as updating, committing, diffing, and even statusing, my outgoing network traffic goes right up. My only guess is that it is sending my entire working copy somewhere. Why is this, and is there anything I can do? I makes things take ages.
Also, are there any additional steps I need to take to get web content online, after committing it. Is the website updated from the CVS tree daily or something?
Thanks Jon

This is how CVS works. :(

Check with Bryce, but generally, you have to log in, go to the inkscape htdocs area, do a "cvs update; chmod -R g+w ."

Ouch.

Ah right, I found it. Which leads me to say...
WordPress is installed on the website. People are free to register an account at http://inkscape.org/wp-register.php. Any registered user can submit news articles for review, but only people with a higher user level can publish them. If you are a developer and want more privileges then let me know and I can change your user level.
Currently the dashboard in the admin interface, which is basically just a WordPress blog aggregator, doesn't work properly. I'm going to see if I can sort that out.
Cheers, Jon
