I mentioned XFree86.org because (supposedly) it has the bandwith and machine resources to host the DRI repository, and obviously XFree86 and DRI are two very close entities. That being said, it would have to be in a seperate CVS repository so that DRI project administrators could have the same flexibility as in the SF project. Having the DRI repository as branches in the main XFree86 CVS is an utopia, now and the foreseenable future, IMO. But we really need to get a solution around the backup CVS server as it really damages the beneficial intervention of non-commiters can have since they are days behind what the commiters are doing. Is it possible that SourceForge may reconsider that policy on a indivual project basis, i.e., would'nt it be a good idea for the DRI project admins to present this issue to the SF maintainers? They usually are flexible and even if not solving the problem completly maybe they can point workable solutions.
