Dear Matthew,

Would you explain specifically about the incompatiblity problems?
I know this is not the revision management problem, but I'd like to
know.

Thank you
Masaharu Goto

=--------------------------------------------------------------
A remote CVS repository of the ROOT sources with anonymous checkout
would solve all of these problems.  Sites, and even groups within sites,
could then standardize on whatever version of the ROOT sources which
they needed.  For example, one group at SLAC is currently stuck on ROOT
2.22.04 due to some incompatibilities with later versions of ROOT, but
other groups at SLAC are using later versions of ROOT.  If the ROOT
maintainer for SLAC needed to recompile an older version of ROOT (which,
in fact, we have), it would be very difficult to do so since he doesn't
have convenient access to specific versions of the ROOT sources.
