[Bitpim-devel] Cannot access developer CVS

[d***@netzero.com]

Since this morning, I've been unable to access the BITPIM devoloper CVS repository ('Connection refused'). I was able to do so yesterday. Has anyone run into the same problem or had any idea why?

I see the same thing. They don't have any mention of it in the site status:

SourceForge's CVS functionality has been dodgy for a *long* time. It looks
like they (VALinux/Software/whatever it is this week) have put very little
effort into SourceForge for a long time. (Of course appearances could also
be misleading).

I did see mention of having Subversion available at some point, which is
a lot more efficient than CVS.

And we do have a contingency plan should SourceForge fail completely.

It would be worthwhile if a few more people grabbed a copy of the CVS
repository every week or so. Just wget this URL:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/bitpim-cvsroot.tar.bz2

I grab it daily. It is currently 75MB.

I also grab it every day. After they get to be a month old, I keep
about one a month.
