CVS checkouts on ftp server
I was trawling through ftp.parisc-linux.org/cvs looking for a tarball of the linux-2.5 tree and couldn't see anything, apart from a /cvs/2.5 directory (which is currently empty).
Is there enough disk space to do a linux-2.5 tarball for the FTP server?
Also the /cvs directory contains a few files that look like stuff-ups from the CVS tarball roller: linux-.tar.gz and patch-.diff.gz ...

Those aren't currently being generated (AFAIK). What _is_ being generated are the patches against upstream: http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/2.5/kernel-src/

Yes, certainly. Do you still want that, given the existance of these patches?

I can see them... but I can also see the CVS scripts are still running. Possibly they'll be renamed later.

Ah yes, I saw those. But then I'll need to make a vanilla Linus tree, and I am lazy. I mean, streamlined and efficient. =)

It'd be nice. Yes, I'd like it, if it's not a problem for anyone. Otherwise I'll try the above method, or slowly drag it out of CVS. I'm assuming that occasional linux-2.5 tarballs might be useful for people other than me of course ...

Doesn't seem to be; they're empty files (though > 0 bytes from gzip). I think the checkout script is using an empty variable, eg linux-$i.tar.gz or whatever. The 'latest' softlinks are to these empty files. I can't see any likely-looking tarball-rolling scripts in CVSROOT/ so I'm unable to investigate further.

One reason I didn't bother with tarballs for 2.5 is it appears from my limited sample that the tradition is per-arch patches -- and it makes us appear to be more part of linux development rather than our own thing.
I also find that on slow links, I'm more likely to have a Linus kernel tree somewhere nearby (perhaps on my x86 box) so only have to wait through transferring the patch. Less likely with 2.5 of course since it's changing fast.

Nobody else has asked. I just posted a 2.5 tarball in the 2.5 patches directory, which can then be kept up to date with CVS or with the incremental patches.

Nothing was obviously wrong with the script or log so I'm kicking it off again.
