Membership in cvspkgs does not give you wide access. In fact, the members of cvspkgs are not "considered" when creating CVS ACLs. The owners/co-maintainers of packages are, and members of cvsexperienced are (provided the package in question allows for cvsexperienced commit access). This effectively keeps new packagers to only A) the packages they own, and B) the packages the co-maintain with other people. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
