Geoffrey, I checked your user record on Savannah. You need to register an ssh public key before you will be able to check out emacs. Pserver is only available for anonymous, read-only access. You can add your key by going to: https://savannah.gnu.org/my/admin/editsshkeys.php Please allow time for the key to be enabled (I think the cron job runs hourly). The instructions for checking out emacs are here: https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs (Under 'Project Member CVS Access via SSH') Please let us know if you have further problems with this. Cheers, Steven
