[Idle-dev] idle-fork hiatus

[StephenM.Gava]

Hello IDLErs,
I thought I'd just post a quick note to anyone who's interested on what's 
happenning with the revamped idle-fork project.

Basically we're still at stage one of the "revamping" (so, that means it was 
vamped before?) which is bringing cvs up to date with changes made in the 
last year to python official idle. 

There's a hold up for us at the moment as our cvs tree at sourceforge needs a 
little manual intervention due to a problem introduced by yours truly 
when first attempting to import python-idle as a vendor branch. With the 
invaluable help of  Kurt B. Kaiser that problem was quickly solved (thanks 
Kurt), but sourceforge does not allow projects shell level access to their 
own cvs trees, so at the moment we are stuck waiting for sourceforge support 
to get around to making a couple of minor changes for us. (Changes that would 
take about ten seconds if we had file-level access to the idle-fork cvs 
ourselves, but which we've been waiting a week, so far, for sourceforge to do 
for us...).

As soon as we have a working cvs again hopefully the fun part (starting to 
commit some new stuff!) can begin.

Til later,
Stephen.
