that's probably a good idea ...
copy the CVS files to your machine, and set your CVSROOT to point to them, then try anything. SourceForge used to provide a way to directly download the CVS files, but I haven't tried recently.
that seems to be a useful feature (although i won't download the files with my poor dialup connection) anyway ... do you know if there is any cool cvs feature that allows one to mirror (and sync) a local cvs server with the sf cvs?
20 */4 * * * cd /home/pd-dev; cvs up
cool enough? (forgot if every 4 or 5th hr exactly) that's for anonymous cvs. ext cvs via ssh has immediate updates.
send upstream also? cvs import is a bit intrusive.
there's no rsync/shell access at all to the cvs boxes, and the nightly snapshot feature was turned off a few months ago when some folks began to add broken crontab entries which brought the shell boxes down. don't think that they'll turn it on again with the new webboxes, which will come this month.
I'll bet that if you file a support request, you could get them to give you a tarball of the CVSROOT. The SourceForge support has actually been quite responsive in the past.
sure they do, even within the same day normally. but I'd really want it daily, as before.
