You seem to be missing the point of cvs. If you kept an up-to-date repository on sourceforge, you could work on your laptop, copy over the files to your workstations when you are back to a connected station and then commit them (or just commit them right away from the laptop). The next time you go somewhere with or without your laptop, you can get your sources easily and make changes and commit them, delete the sources locally and still have your changes the next time you want to work on them. > Personally, I would rather people use the tarballs I release.

If somebody wants to stay up to date, a system like CVS (or 'arch' or 'subversion') only makes sense to me. CVS is not intendend for _releases_ (as that's what appears to be your beef with it on contrast to tarballs), but rather as a "Concurrent Versoin System'.
