Documentation is still in CVS?

[Lei Zhang]

Hi,

Is there a reason why the Wine documentation is still in CVS, and not in GIT?

Yes. The docs are now maintained at SourceForge, and given the glacial
pace of updates, there is little reason to move them to git. Moreover,
git presents a much higher barrier to entry, and there's no reason to
raise it for (potentially non-technical) documentation contributors.

Actually I tried to follow the wiki instructions to do a git-cvsimport and it didn't work a week or two ago; and plain "cvs co" did not work either.
I have a few other stuff on sourceforge, so the problem seems to be specific to wine. Does anonymous check out work for anybody else?

The instructions on http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs works for me.

Doesn't work for me:

$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous(a)wine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wine co -P docs
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [wine.cvs.sourceforge.net]:2401 failed: Connection timed out

$ git cvsimport -C wine-doc -v -k -d :pserver:anonymous(a)wine.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wine docs 
Socket to wine.cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection timed out

I'll need to try stunnel and see if it improves things. (but I can still check out stuff from other sourceforge projects...)

Firewall issue on your side? Can you ping wine.cvs.sourceforge.net?
Connect to it on port 80? or port 2401?

Can do port 80, can't do port 2401. Wierd. It is probably problem in my end.
