Subject: [ros-dev] Trunk locked<br>
<br>
       Hello,<br>
the trunk of our SVN server has been locked to prevent even more<br>
regression from entering the tree.<br>
<br>
So far, after more than 3 weeks after I filed the bug report and not<br>
including all previous time when people were complaining about rapps<br>
which can&#39;t download anything at all - either hangs or crashes, I see<br>
that now even PCNet network card is being recognized in my VMWare<br>
Workstation 6.5.<br>
<br>
Trunk is writable right now by members of the bugfix team only,<br>
that&#39;s so far Cameron (because he is the one supposed to fix<br>
networking) and me. If someone volunteers to fix any of the existing<br>
regressions, please let me know on irc/email, I&#39;ll include you into<br>
the bugfix team.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for understanding, and patience. My patience is over.<br>
<br>
WBR,<br>
Aleksey Bragin.<br>
