:Matt,
:
:either I am just plain dumb (hey it happens) or something is not quite right
:in our CVS scripts.
:
:After the issue I had with openssl-0.9.7d I decided to track something.
:
:Now with bind9.2.4rc7 I extracted it into src/contrib, then proceded to
:clean it all up so it is ready to add.
:
:When you do a cvs add bind9.2.4rc7, it adds the top level directory and
:emails it off.
:
:You cannot do a commit at this point because it will complain about the
:files underneath it not having been registered for CVS inclusion.
:Now if you do cvs add bind9.2.4rc7/* it will add the files and the
:directories AND sent an email PER directory (which caused my problem).
:
:Am I missing an parameter or something here?  Can't recall any specialised
:mojo for CVS to do this so I am pondering the CVSROOT perl scripts might be
:on the fritz.

    Crater is running DragonFly now which means it is running the latest
    cvs, and I had to do some fixing up of our scripts to make it work.

    It looks like there are still issues.  The new cvs seems intent on
    sending email when one cvs add's a directory.
