I would like to contribute, but the current system sucks, to be frank. As far as I can tell this is the current repo http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/?cvsroot=src but then you can also find this http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi which has about 50 "CVS Root"s. I dont know if these roots are all Cygwin or what. All of this fails to mention that nowhere will you find a search function, which is a huge fail. Compare to GitHub, which has - search multiple repos at same time - or search individual repo - issue tracker - you can go into the source code of a single file and comment on a single line, that is powerful stuff. Example http://github.com/svnpenn/bm/commit/1519bcb - pull requests - wiki for each repo - binary downloads - commit logs of which current CVS does not have, or has crappy incarnation. I know this post may seem rude, but I have good intent. I also would like to see Cygwin improve, but you have to make it easier for people to do so. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
