[CI] Disabled CVS checkins

[Brian J. Watson]

I've temporarily disabled checkins to the CI and OpenSSI repositories
until I finish merging the Red Hat branch up to the RH 2.4.20-20.9
kernel code base (the latest kernel for RH9).

I'll re-enable checkins and send out another note when I'm done.

Does that means the TRUNK is going to 2.4.20 ?

In that case i may need to verify all the Alpha related changes.

Only if someone else is willing to do that merge. I can offer some
instructions, but I don't have time to do much more than that.

I will do that once you finish moving the redhat branch to 2.4.20-20.9.
I will send you the patch once i finish the merging . I don't want to do
the commit, because it is getting more and more complex with CVS. Is
that ok with you ?

I've checked into the OPENSSI-RH branch the new CI and OpenSSI kernel
source based on Red Hat's 2.4.20-20.9 kernel. It currently builds and
boots, but there may be a few bugs that still need to be tracked down.
Note that you need to rebuild cluster-tools, since the system call
numbers were changed.

There's a good chance I broke the kernel on the trunk, due to many of
the CI/OpenSSI kernel files being COMMON. To help clean up this mess, I
tagged both my CI and OpenSSI kernel sandboxes with PRE-RH9 before I did
my checkins. We can branch any of these files if we need to.

An RH9 based release of OpenSSI will be available soon. It will support
the GRUB bootloader rather than LILO. It will include an enhanced
mkinitrd, instead of the old cluster_mkinitrd. Its support for NFS will
be greatly enhanced by Dave. Various other enhancements and bugfixes
will also be included. The release will also include some crude
instructions for upgrading from the RH8-based 0.9.9 release to the new
RH9-based release.

The repositories are once again open for business, and commit logging
has been re-enabled.

Enjoy,

Brian
