Newbie committer questions.
Hi,
I've received my account information and everything appears to work
fine. In the guides for setting up CVS there are several ways to set up
tunneling
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsonwin32.html
but instead I used the :ext: protocol and set CVS_RSH=ssh with cygwin,
just like I do for sourceforge. Would I get any benefit from using ssh
tunneling?
When I committed my first modification I got the CVS/Template file
shown, but from browsing around a bit in the archives of commit mails, I
couldn't find an example of anyone using that Template. What is the
policy on this?
I also guess that we are not yet updating any CHANGES files with the
modification we make?
regards,
finn

Don't know, maybe to work around some firewall issues (I'm using
CVS_RSH=ssh myself on linux)

Mmmh, sometimes the PR;/Submitted by: is used but most of the times it
just gets deleted.

We *should* (status.xml for HEAD and CHANGES for maintenance-branch)
status.xml will be rendered nicely to http://xml.apache.org/fop/changes.html

Thanks, perhaps I'll give it a try later. For now the CVS_RSH method
works fine and fast enough.

I'll get to it tomorrow, friday. I can't see any way of doing it
incrementally, so I'm going to commit the rest of it in one go.

You have been impressively active in the past short while.

Sometimes I feel like I did when I first heard Wynton
Marsalis play some variations from the "Trumpet Method"
by J. Arban ... (Carnival of Venice)
Man, he plays that faster than I can READ it ...

Actually, yes and no, as I learned a ton--XSLT, Java,
and FOP--from his coding. (Jeremias never taught me
that much! ;) However, I am quite fatigued right now
and need a few days off. Finn, would you mind taking
over the rest of your last patch? The issues I found
can be discussed and changed, if necessary, after you
apply it.
Thanks,
Glen

You don't have to establish the SSH connection everytime you do a CVS
operation. It's speedier.

Usually, you should use the "Submitted by:" prefix when you apply a
patch form a developer.

I usually do, but use the XML one. I'd appreciate if everyone did. Not
necessarily every little change but the important ones.
