Ok, it sounds like we have the following resources available for getting the kernel source
1. FTP of hourly snapshots 2. e-mail of individual patches hourly (patch may be e-mailed before bkbits.net is updated) 3. bitkeeper access to bkbits.net 4. read-only rsync (including access to the SCCS info) of the full up-to-the-second tree 5. web access to look at individual patches (automated pulls not allowed) 6. kernel.org mirrors of releases
This isn't enough for people so will adding read-only CVS access to the tree itself be enough? does the CVS access need to also include the SCCS directories? what's the next thing that people will complain limits their access to the kernel source?
it used to be that we only had #6 and the griping that people did was that to many patches were dropped, now we have all the others and only #3 and #5 are limited by the evil bitmover company at all ;-) all the others are available to anyone withouta need to use any software they don't want to use.
