Re: [stellation-res] Urgent! Do Not Use Stellation CVS Repository Until

[Marco Qualizza <mqualizza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll try this again, since I forgot to fix my email for this mailing list:

what does ./CVSROOT/history say?

> Our CVS repository has suffered serious damage.
> Mark and I are asking all committers to hold off on any CVS usage until I
> have repaired the damage.

> Somehow, the Java files in the HEAD version of virtually all of our
> plug-in projects have been deleted.  (The sole exception is 'unittest').
> Fortunately, the tagged version 'Bugzilla-31370- appears to be intact;
> since that was the most recent version checked in by anyone, I will
