Well the cat is out of the bag :-)
Have to hand it to people who actually got the file system up
and running without any documentation.
The pushing of the cvs tree is not "entirely" automated yet.
I'll working on getting all the steps automated.
I just updated the tree on oss to the most current rev.
The web page that describes how to download the tree is at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cvs_download.html
A more official announcement is on it's way, but if
you are on this list consider your self on the pre-announcement list.
Any input on the download process would be appreciated.
