Daniel, please try to restrain your enthusiasm 8-)

I have attached the patch, OK to commit?

PS:  It looks like there is no ChangeLog for the web pages, so I did not
include an entry for one.

That's not the command you were using, is it?  There were some
--exclude options; without them you can't check out of the resulting
tree and you waste a lot of bandwidth.

Extra space before rsync.samba.org.  There's supposed to be an = after
href.

I guess I couldn't make up my mind  8-)

Damn! You're right.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Here is the
actual command I used:

rsync -az --delete --exclude '#cvs.*' --exclude 'CVSROOT/config'  \
--exclude  \ 'CVSROOT/history' --exclude 'CVSROOT/updatelog'  \
rsync://sources.redhat.com/gdb-cvs gdb-cvs

I cribbed these from Janis Johnson as used for GCC.  Do we need these
same excludes?

OK, attached is the new patch:  OK to commit?

I have also attached a patch to MAINTAINERS in light of the following
e-mail exchange:

As you can see from the patch, I am volunteering to take Jim's place.
(With as little on-the-job training from you as possible 8-)

Yes.  Except, you've now switched back to gdb-cvs, and that's not the
right repository.

Do we want a maintainer for the web pages right now?  A serious
question.

With the recent changes to MAINTAINERS, if there is one, then that
individual needs to review all web page patches, and be interested in
taking general care of the web pages.  If there isn't one, any global
maintainer can make changes to the web pages.  I have the feeling that
distributing the responsibility, for this particular area, would be
a better choice.

Maybe it wouldn't.  I'm open to other opinions.
