No, not duplicate.
Each of webtree and sourcetree is on another repository.

cvs-www and gila point same host, it will work, but you should coordinate them
in the documents.

There was absolutely no reason for the page in catalog to be created, and it
should be removed, not fixed.

(It's wrong in many ways -- for example, the web-based interface is generally
inferior since it prevents diffing before checkin, etc.)

Comment 8

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

(Either that, or nobody reads the diffs.)

Comment 9

fixed.  I'll stop whining, but catalog was a stupid idea and certainly should
*never* have had real content placed within it.

Comment 10

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

(And should also not have had duplication of content instead of trying to fix
the original copy.)

I wasn't mad at you.  I was mad at benc for forking the documents in the first
place.

David,

Whether your criticisms are valid or not, you are really late to the game. I've
been telling people for several years that documents were being added there, and
nobody would ever give me other locations. I actually waited 6 months for one
document before I added it. I don't know if you realize it or not, but I've
probably placed as many a a dozen files over the last few years into the catalog
hierarchy.

I really don't care where the documents go, and if someone could actually tell
me where they belong, preferably via a discussion in a bug or some mail thread
w/ people on staff, I'll be glad to move the files or let someone else do it. 

I don't think you should be mad at me. I HTTP redirect your frustration to
whoever I get to eventually blame for never deciding before.

[benc]

V/fixed.

David, also, thanks for making the updates to the document anyhow. I'll probably
visit the office on Friday, maybe we could talk then and figure this out.

If you want a URL assignment, ask fantasai.

However, not having a new URL is no excuse whatsoever for forking and forcing
everybody else to maintain two separate copies of a document, neither of which
is complete.
