I'm not sure that I follow that, but a) kernel.bkbits.net is fully backed up nightly so we wouldn't lose it there b) the CVS tree is generated on my desktop so we have a mirror of it there c) HPA mirrors the CVS tree to kernel.org so we have a third copy there d) Regenerating the the CVS tree from scratch will generate the same revs. In other words, I think you're safe. Famous last words, we'll now discover that our friends in .cz have written the world's first BK virus and it corrupts the CVS tree. Or something. Regardless, we've taken steps to make sure the CVS data is safe and restorable. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
