[MOBY-dev] MOBY Central DB optimization

[Jason Stewart]

Hey Ed,

Just to let you know - it all worked fine, the cvs checkout, and the
make install. I did get some test failures - I can post them if you'd
like.

But now that things are installed... I'm not sure how to initiate the
repository - is there a web page for doing this?

Cheers, jas.
