Sourceware web page
information for project maintainers

General info links

• Rename to sources.redhat.com
• mailing lists
• mail aliases (postmaster, gnats-admin, &c)
• sourceware-announce list.
• spam-blocking.
• account information.
• Certain old mailing list archives (names like 1999-08n).
• Network usage
• TODO file for the site (in the form of Jason's cryptic notes to himself)
• Additional TODO
• overseers mailing list (subscribe/unsubscribe via usual mechanisms).
• Webalizer statistics: sourceware | gcc | cygwin.
• Notes on various specific subjects/setups:
  • Notes about htdig our search engine.
  • anonymous rsync. We recommend that projects keep an up to date copy of their repository on their own disk for safe keeping; do a nightly rsync update out of a crontab. That way no matter what happens to Cygnus, Red Hat, Jason Molenda, Jeff Law, or Jim Kingdon, you will always be able to get access to your CVS repository.
  • 32 group limit (the "anoncvs" user in particular wants to be in every group): see discussion on overseers.
  • GNATS bug-tracking system.
  • Web serving.
  • FTP for downloads.
  • Kerberos security.
  • Installing software.
• CVSweb access to non-project-specific items (e.g. infra for code, htdocs for web pages). CVS commit messages go to mailing lists sourceware-cvs@sources.redhat.com (infra/ and CVSROOT/ subdirectories) and sourceware-webpages-cvs@sources.redhat.com (web pages).
• The Cederqvist cvs documentation (cvs-1.11.3)

Text to use on your web pages

Substitute PROJECTNAME with your project name and the resulting text will probably be correct. Be sure to give your instructions a try before pointing users at them.

• Anonymous CVS instructions

Design

General assumption has been that CPU and memory are plentiful, and bandwidth is scarce. Therefore: bzip2, -z 9 to CVS.

Internal notes/procedures

(Useful only to site maintainers) are on the procedures page (the versions in /sourceware/projects/sourceware-home are older and probably out of date).
