That was 2006. I was young and foolish.
The post has multiple flaws. For one, hooking up to that repository
will bring in a whole host of crap that you don't want. This is
something that I've always wanted to do better, but since nobody
contributes to Eclipse Corner anymore, the relevance of that work
seemed negligible. And, in addition to the Eclipse Corner articles
no longer being in CVS, I no longer have shirts to give out in
exchange for contributions.
I believe that the community will forgive me for not updating this
blog post. I don't think that the nebulous community expects to to
go back and fix every historical document.
I don't know why anybody would search on "Eclipse Corner CVS". I
could see them searching on "Eclipse Papyrus", or "Articles about
Eclipse Modeling", or something.
Backward compatibility is important. But at some point you sometimes
have to break from the old and move forward.
Or have I missed the point?

Hi
Picking on no one in particular from a "Eclipse Corner CVS"
search.

"Eclipse Corner GIT" gives very little.

The community hardship angle is getting
rather overplayed. Ok, so the user
sees a reference to CVS and it doesn't work. What are they going
to do next?
Go to project website, perhaps, where they see a notice that
source is now
in Git. If they don't end up on the website, maybe they ask a
question on
the forum. After a few people ask this question, Google is going
to know the
answer.
So the user spends a couple of extra minutes researching the
source repo,
but in return they end up looking at the repo that's in use
instead of
something that's dead.

Hi
But the whole ethos of Eclipse is Open Source. We make our
source available.
We encouarge users to read and copy. Of course our documentation
referred to
CVS.
I am really amazed that we allow one of our outstanding
achievements to be
destroyed for such a trivial reason.

Hi Ed,
I totally understand your point and frustration.
However havnt we all been warned by Wayne in numerous
emails that
"CVS will be shutdown" at the 21st December 2012 for over
one year now.
CVS shutdown is not the same thing as "set to readonly".
So I think if that was a concern it should have been
brought up way
earlier.
Just my 2 cents

Betreff: Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] CVS access to
Orbit
Hi
December 21st was the end of the world as far as committer
CVS write
access was concerned.
However it was not the end of the world as far as user CVS
read
access was concerned.
A variety of examples and documentation describe fetching
code from CVS.
It is not feasible
to rewrite such text within Helios/Indigo/Juno
distributions taht
are still in use.
It is also a major pain for us committers. For instance,
when a
Bugzilla report refers to line 45 of version 1.9 of a
file; without
viewcvs, it takes significantly longer to identify the
line in question.
There seems absolutely no benefit in retracting this
useful facility
and breaking functionality upon which the current Juno
release
documentation depends.

Ed Willink

Isn't this all in git now? I thought Orbit was the only
thing
officially left in CVS.

Hi Denis
Thanks. CVS from PSFs works again.
If we now have an anonymous CVS server for Orbit,
can we please
restore the anonymous CVS access for the other
repositories too
so that Helios, Indigo, Juno facilities work again
for ordinary
users?
Regards

Hi
My understanding is that CVS has been
preserved for Orbit, at
least temporarily, but anonymous access has
not.
How am I expected to rewrite PSF fetches (for
use by ordinary
users) such as
<provider
id="org.eclipse.team.cvs.core.cvsnature">
<project
reference="1.0,:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/too
