We are 5 days away from the feature freeze date, but with the almost
week of downtime we have had, I don't think we can stick to that date.

Do we choose July 1 as feature freeze and July 15 as beta, or push beta
start to Auguest 1?

Well it would certainly be nice if CVS was working first. I am still
getting the following error:

$ cvs update
/projects/cvsroot: no such repository

Yes. I am even holding some of the patches because I am not sure if it
makes sense to apply them when no one can check them. Marc says he will
have it working in 6 hours.

I don't think a week of partial downtime justifies a month's slip.

The July 1/15 schedule seems like it might be a good plan though.
I know I'm not going to be done editing error messages by June 15 ...

Any other thoughts out there?

Re: Feature freeze date

you have to give it a password ... any password, but a password non the
less ... someone else asked me this also, and if I enter no passwd, I can
get the same error message ...

The reason for the confusion might be because here:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/cvs.html#ANONCVS
the instructions state "You will be prompted for a password; just press
ENTER." which previously worked for me.

For those of us using anon CVS, Marc's advice works fine: password "a" works
for me and I can authenticate now.

The existing documentation specifies that the password for anoncvs is
empty. Can't we make it continue to work like that?
