Perhaps we're using different notions of repository. I thought the
proposal was to actually create a grand unified source tree, such that
you did something like `cvs co world' and got GCC, GDB, etc.
I'm certainly in favor of using a single CVS repository (in the `cvs
-d' sense); I'm just not sure about mushing all the packages together.
I do think that we should be very careful about licensing and
copyrights when even that degree of combination occurs.
sources.redhat.com is alredy confusing in that it lists on a single
web page projects that are copyright by the FSF and projects that are
not, and combining things into a single repository would only
exacerbate that confusion.
