Ah, I see. I'd say that we do have CVS history worth saving, presuming that it's still there from before the move.
How about we do all new documents as new modules, and when Elliott is available, we can have him do the change. I'd guess that shell access on cvs.fedora is hard to come by.
I'd think that too. In that case, Elliott can do the whole shebang in about three minutes, while Paul and I watch over his shoulder and joggle his elbow.
Here's a patch that I guess will work for now. Karsten, you have commit perms for CVSROOT/ so you will need to put this one up. I don't think we'll need shell access for anything. If we can get Elliot to simply put us in the CVSROOT/avail file as having rights to write to CVSROOT/modules (and really we only need that file, I think), we can add modules when needed.
I thought Tommy was saying that we _couldn't_ just write the new modules file this way because we'd lose CVS history for those modules. Or is this patch in preparation for Elliott doing cvs-fu? We can actually find someone else to do that cvs-fu, instead of panting on Elliott's doorstep for his return. Otherwise, I'll apply the patch.
Thanks for doing this!
