[CF-Devel] download site for CVS snapshot?

[Mark Wedel]

 Just a note - 

 I don't have a big problem with people reporting bugs that may have already
been fixed.

 I do have a big problem when bugs are reported without useful information, like
what version the server was.

 Getting messages like 'the server crashed on me' are completely useless.  Only
marginally more useful are 'the server crashed when I entered some exit'.  What
I really want on that for all reports is what version that server is running and
specific directions on what you did.  Its very frustrating to get bug reports
for bugs that are very reproducible (at least for the user), but the user not
sharing what it takes to reproduce it.  I can't read minds.

 Even if the people grab a snapshot, maybe it was last weeks snapshot and
something has been fixed since then.  IF people are not going to use the
anonymous CVS access, its pretty likely they will only infrequently update their
server (as doing a full download and recompile is a bit of a pain - especially
if the only thing someone changed was a typo in some message).

 That said, yes, if bugs are reported against a sufficiently old version, I
probably won't investigate, and instead tell them to get something modern.  But
I'll at least read a message if a person reports a bug in the current version,
and can then usually pretty quickly determine if it may have been fixed.
