[PATCH] neuter viewvc on cvs.fedoraproject.org

[Bill Nottingham]

Clean out repositories that aren't canonical from the viewvc configuration,
and set the default repo to something that at least is still in use.

Does anyone still keep anything in the cvs/fedora repository?  I did
until recently, but my stuff has all moved into the infrastructure git
repo.  There is plenty of old stuff there that we probably wouldn't want
to just delete, but I don't see why it would need to exposed via viewvc.

Just noticed the L10N page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Maintainer
refers to CVS.

Not sure who to contact to double check the status of things there.

Making the default root fedora makes sense.  Do we really want to kill
all access to the pkgs tree?  There might be links to it in list
archives and other places that would be nice to keep working if there
isn't too high a cost involved.  (Though perhaps just changing the
default root might break those links as well?)

I believe changing the default root will break those links, yes. I sort
of assume this is a bit of a precursor to nuking CVS entirely at some
point in the future once we get everything off of it.

Thinking about it, changing the default root will only break links
to pkgs/. It won't break other links, as those would have had to
specify their own root anyway. Can I get a second +1?

I'd like to kill it just because we took all the memory cvs1 had and gave
it to pkgs01 and cvs1 + viewvc with only a G of ram seems to make it
unhappy.

Well that's a plenty good reason.  Anyone looking for the archived cvs
stuff can still check it out.  Instead of trying to add any header,
perhaps we could extend the redirects to point everything to pkgs?
