This is a bit of a tricky issue. If all was well and good, then I would 
have been checking in regularly during the past month. However, due to 
an incident that occurred last month (and several minor ones before 
then), I feel that I cannot guarantee the integrity of what I commit to 
the CVS repository on 'sources.redhat.com'. This has led me to maintain 
my own personal CVS repository. I know that this may be inconvenient to 
some, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I hope that the situation can 
be resolved on good terms in the near future, which is why I continue to 
associate with the Xconq project. If not, then I suppose you will have 
the option of checking my alternative sources (under a different 
"banner") out of a public CVS repository somewhere else, sometime in the 
future....

As for others not checking in things, there are only a few others who 
have CVS write access, and of them, only Jim has shown vital signs in 
the past month. I am not aware of anyone else, who has CVS write access, 
maintaining a separate branch to the sources.
