If you used CVS from sourceforge before, you know it can blow at times. The anonymous mirror could get days out of date. I haven't had many problems with developer CVS at least.

But a couple months ago, sourceforge had some catastrophic CVS malfunctioning going on. The anon mirroring just stopped. It took them a long time, but they now have new CVS infrastructure, but it was built off an out of date version of the old developer CVS.

So both are available and I've just moved from the old one to the new one so the new CVS has the latest seq source in it.

The new CVSROOT for the anonymous mirror for showeq work is now:


:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq


So, to pull from the anon mirror, you can do:


cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co showeq


If you have any questions about CVS, just ask. The new anon mirror is supposed to only get an hour or so out of date. I trust that about as far as I can throw it based on sourceforge's stellar history with CVS.

No, I'm not interesting in moving to bzr. Thanks for asking.

And yes, ironically, this puts the FAQ back to being correct. Ha!
