If *you* update the code of the foreign version? Does
that mean
that you would also take care of installing the updated code for
the foreign versions? That would take all my worries away, but I
was under the impression you wanted to leave that to the local
developers.
Well, read that as "if the code gets updated from CVS", by
whoever. When I update the main code with something like a bug
fix, it will be a pretty trivial thing for me to update the
forgeign ones at the same time, so I'll probably do that. But
I also might forget. Also, someone like Magnus might fix a bug
and update only the German installation, leaving me to update
the English one later.
Jimbo moved us to the new server in part so he could give
accounts out more freely (currently I, Axel, Brion, Magnus, and
Neil have accounts there), so he would no longer be a bottleneck
or a single point of failure. It makes no sense to just make me
the bottleneck instead (although I'm sure Jimbo sees that as an
improvement :-)
