Okay, then it seems like no big 'packages' like mine are submitted. I will be working on those mime/sql JS window things the next 2 weeks and will surely touch a lot of parts. So it would be great to get some notice before another one takes approach on a huger scheme.
You could post patches of your work on the patch tracker so we can try it.
Definetly. I usually maintain two trees, one of the current stuff that only bugfixes go into, and another one I play around with more. For my clients that use PMA for touching their data, I give them the choice between the two.
Just because the main tree is frozen doesn't mean no development takes place.
Just a final question, I can't get the CVS to remember my password, is this somehow possible? I've got access to the repository (did a first commit), and I already put my SSH-private key via the web interface on the shell-machine. I can already login on the shell with the public key, but I am still asked every time to enter my cvs pass. Is this intentional or am I forgetting something?
I am using ssh-agent and only have to enter my passphrase once. Then I can work with cvs without giving my password with:
export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:lem9@cvs1.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmyadmin ....
If you spend a lot of time connected to a linux box to work on things via SSH from windows, I recommend PuTTY with key-forwarding turned on. Works like a charm.
If you are using a linux box natively instead, look at ssh-multiadd to help with ssh-agent, as well as a number of the other helpful key tools.
Again, using key-forwarding is a big help.
