I'm taking this to the list since it involves a general policy and
procedural concern, which is CVS tags. In the past, Karsten and Tammy
imported my sources, since there was no One True CVS access. In
general, the command is:
cvs import <repodir> <vendor-tag> <release-tag>...
What are the vendor and release tags that people should be using to
import? The answers should probably come from a consensus of three
individuals -- Karsten (has done lots of importing before IIRC), Tommy
(FDP CVS maintainer), and Tammy (resident CVS goddess).
In the "common/cvs-en.xml" updates that I've recently made, I chose
to use something like this:
$ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
$ export CVSROOT=':ext:<username>@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs'
$ cvs import <my-doc-name> <username> "initial"
as the suggested initial command sequence. The "vendor" is not
really that important when it comes to branching, et. al., because we
should really use explicit "cvs -t foo" to mark each release point
for the document and then use "foo" as the branching/merging point.
