Hi Jason, Would you contribute a patch to fix this issue? (there is a "source code" link at the end of each page)
Currently the repositories are shown if fixed order. Usually people activate a new VCS when they switch from CVS, hence why the author of this feature put CVS last. The control of that order could indeed be passed to the project admin. -- Sylvain On Tue, Jul 03, 2007 at 11:43:39PM -0400, Richard Stallman wrote: > When I look at the Emacs package page, under "Development tools", > it lists the Arch repository first. > > That is misleading, because the principal repository is in CVS. > This message shows that developers are actually being misled. > > Can you please arrange to put the CVS repository first? > > What causes the Arch repository to appear first?
