Thats rather discouraging, having access to the CVS server it self would make things much easier for me. I do all of my development via CVS. Everything from work, my main projects to my small side and toy projects that won't ever be released to the public. (Like small shell scripts I toss together for whatever) The history is very valuable for tracking down bugs.
Another problem is, all of the code submitted is snippits posted in the messageboard, its a pain to merge and takes far more time then downloading a diff and merging it.
The CVS dumps are helpfull, I agree. I personally think it slows down someone whos not a developer, who wants to contribute a small fix or feature.
For example: I was thinking about making a change to specify in the spawn DB if the mob gets a pet or not. If so, then create a pet based on its class. The wizards in Ssra don't have familiars :P I don't know if anyone else is working on this, and I don't want to submit code that was already done, or is out of date. I am not the greatest C++ programmer, so it will take much longer time then normal to create it. I am also doing it for learning purposes. (I am a PHP guy)
What are the chances of someone like me getting read-only access to the private CVS server for these reasons ?
