CVS EU Server

Does anyone know what's wrong with the CVS server 
rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de in Europe? It's out of sync for a few days now.

Hmpf. Now that's why I was getting the "CVS problem" mails slightly more
often than normal...

There's nothing "wrong" with that server per se, apart from:
[andi@rhlx01 ~]$ pgrep http|wc -l
257
[andi@rhlx01 ~]$ pgrep vsftpd|wc -l
319
permanently for the last couple of days ("just" about 500Mbps bandwidth).

Can you spell "FC5"? ;-)

I'll try to get cvs synched again manually (just doing it more often),
but no promises since the pipe (or shaping or whatever) is pretty much
bursting and thus it may not be overly successful...

Thanks for the report, it's very important!

Welll... not quite: the very high FC5 download number is not the problem,
rather the server got upgraded a couple days ago (to FC5, too), which broke
cvsup (SEGV).
Since cvsup is written in Modula-3, it's not particularly easy to get it
built (Adrian told me he has trouble getting it built with gcc 4.1,
I should additionally try to get it done myself).

Oh well, hopefully we'll get it done properly

Would it be worth skipping cvsup and moving to git?

Uhoh, with my own little server problem I now seem to have started
some wildfire...

Well, two things:

a) WineHQ doesn't really seem to mention git, only CVS
b) 85% of all users: "git!? whaddchadibbledegack??"

I would be more or less willing to move to git, I'm just not sure
whether it's the way to go currently.

But cvsup certainly seems somewhat stale currently, despite the fact
that it's a VERY important lowlevel tool used at lots of places.

No, no wildfire here.  I'm still one of those heathens using CVS too.

What I meant was use git to clone the existing git repository to the local
rhlx01box.  Then I naively assumed you could some how export from git into
CVS.  A git expert probably knows whether that's possible (a quick Google
search didn't provide an answer).  Then you'd have both git and CVS
available in Europe as well.

Did you try this copy of cvsup?
