I've searched for the master bug Alan mentions and I suppose it's this one: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=721915&group_id=1&atid=200001 According to that the situation is provisory and should be resolved in August with new hardware. The bug answers to most questions we have and that Keith outlined in his draft, and since the SF team's position appears to be inflexible so I don't know whether there is any point in contact them. I'm going to follow Alan suggestion and setup a rsync mirror of the CVS trunk checkout on my machine at the Uni. I just don't know wether I'll do the update from a cronjob (if so how frequent?), or if trigered by the commits (e.g., using a CVS script, or by making a procmail rule for dri-patches). I'll let everybody know when this is available.
