I have just taken ownership of the recently orphaned package 'diveintopython' in pkgdb as announced on this thread [1]. Now, while going through [2] I have a question about the instructions given there. "If a package was last updated more than three months ago (running cvs log -r HEAD *.spec can show you this information), you will need to submit a review request and have the package approved by a reviewer as if it were new to Fedora. See the package review process for more information. There are a couple of small changes though, be sure to submit a 'update' request to 'cvs', and before you will be able to run the final 'make build' commands you will need to file a ticket w/ release engineering to unblock your package https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/newticket " The package has not received updates for over three months now (but has been rebuilt and included in Fedora 13 etc.) and therefore I'll have to submit a new review request as far as I understood. What I don't get now is the part about the 'update' request to 'cvs'. What exactly does that mean? Should I check the package out from CVS and do a 'cvs update', or should I file an "Update request" (as opposed to "Review request") in bugzilla against cvs, or something completely different? Sorry if it sounds obvious, but I don't know what that's trying to tell me.
