Does the uberbaum tree exist on savanna, or is it only on sources.redhat.com? If so, what is the procedure for accessing it?
I would not recommend use of uberbaum. There are some old-time ex-Cygnus hackers that use it, because it gives an environment familiar to the one we used inside Cygnus. For everyone else, it probably causes more problems than it solves.
uberbaum exists only on sourceware.org. It is a symlink tree that tries to make two CVS repositories look like one. Because it is a fake tree, you can not use it for checking in patches. You can only use it for checkouts. Because few people use it, when it breaks, it may be a while before it is fixed. Personally, I find it easier to just check out the different trees and then create a local symlink tree.
Note that since gcc is in the process of moving to subversion, uberbaum will likely stop working in a couple of weeks. It is probably pointless to start using it now.
I don't recall how to use uberbaum, though I do recall that the instructions are buried in one of the gcc mailing list archives. If you search, you should be able to find them.
