Update : CVS has been taken offline
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
During the ongoing examination of the Geronimo codebase, a discrepancy
was found between the on-disk CVS ",v" file, and the CVS history of
that file.
This has happened before in other codebases in Apache during careful
review, so it is not yet considered a cause for alarm. However, we had
to take the CVS offline immediately during the investigation as the ASF
does take the issue of accountability for our codebases seriously.
This kind of discrepancy can be caused by
a) bugs in the CVS system - quitting a commit at the wrong time
b) well-intentioned modification of a ,v file
c) removal and replacement of a ,v file (if you screwed up an import,
for example)
d) modification of ,v file for mal-intentioned reasons
Doing d) is really stupid, because we keep track of every commit, so
this can be detected.
In Geronimo's case, c) is possible because I think I personally fouled
up the initial import of the code last summer, and it may have been
fixed by wiping out the ,v and reimporting. I don't yet know which
file(s) were affected or else I could verify or eliminate this as a
cause.
If there are any committers that can recall either failed or 'strange'
commits or manual modifications to ,v files - for any reason, good or
bad - please do the right thing and come forward either privately to me
or on this list. You will save lots of time for lots of people that
were otherwise trying to enjoy ApacheCon.

No - it was because of a potential issue in CVS. We'll have a public
discussion later today about it. All is well.

Was this related to Apache going down about 24-48 hours ago? I remember
talk about it on #apachecon IRC. Having just travelled across the pond
I've no idea how long that was ago - it was dark in Vegas if that helps
:)

All work that needed to be done to continue the investigation into the
discrepancy has been completed, and the CVS repository is now being
returned to normal availability.
Updates will follow.
