I currently have hardware for an anon cvs/svn server, just no time to implement currently. I was hoping to get to this in the next few months time permitting of course. I do not want anon cvs/svn on our live server at all. Any implementation of such service will need to be on separate dedicated boxes. I haven't worked out the details for 'live' data, but the possibilities are there I believe for part of it. We already have a viewcvs site that updates every 30 minutes (or maybe an hour, I don't quite remember) that's in testing currently. Check out viewcvstest.g.o if you're curious. To me the cvs/svn server should only be doing that, nothing more. For now, i think the dedicated rsync server is the best route that will accomplish the needs of the ATs. (which I have a server for also). Until we get an official anon cvs/svn service implemented, this is the best infra can do. -- Lance Albertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: <http://www.ramereth.net/lance.asc> Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net
