Description HAGIHARA Yoshiaki 2003-07-19 19:56:44 UTC 
In the ChangeLog of Portage:

# See the gentoo-src Portage ChangeLog for up-to-date release information:
#
http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-src/portage/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

I think cvs.gentoo.org should be www.gentoo.org.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-19 20:04:20 UTC 
change the 'cvs.gentoo.org' to 'www.gentoo.org'
Comment 2 Carl A. Dunham 2003-07-25 10:23:05 UTC 
This has kind of bugged me for awhile. Shouldn't the ChangeLog information be maintained in 
this file directly? What chaos would ensue if all projects just included a link in the file rather than 
change information? Tsk, tsk. Portage should set a better example... ;-)
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-25 15:26:41 UTC 
the ChangeLog is much too unwieldy for it ... basically waste of space on rsync ... 
 
most ppl dont read the ChangeLog, and if *you* really want to, then goto the 
URL 
 
i fixed the url in cvs
Comment 4 Sascha Silbe 2003-07-26 05:59:50 UTC 
The new URL does not work:

Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-26 11:18:09 UTC 
refresh, sometimes some of the servers mess up 
 
viewcvs is on a distributed web system now
Comment 6 Sascha Silbe 2003-07-26 23:33:16 UTC 
Still the same problem.
