Dear Apache HTTP Server Deveopers, We are doing some research on a NSF-funded project titled IVA(Instability Visualization and Analysis), http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/research/labs/grase/iva/. Basically, IVA reads all revisions and deltas from SCM systems like CVS. Based on the data, IVA can tell which module or part is instable (changes frequently when other modules are changed) and visualize them.
We would like to run IVA against the apache httpd server repository which has the one of longest revision histories among open source projects. But, we assume fetching all revisions, deltas directly from public apache CVS server is not a suitable way, since it may incur high traffic or possibly take the CVS server down. We are wondering if it is possible to get all RCS files of httpd-2.0 and apache-1.3 modules of CVS so that we can copy all RCS files in our local CVS server. We are going to use the RCS file for ONLY research purpose and do not intend to make the revision history publically available. We really appreciated it. - Sung Kim http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~hunkim Dept. of Computer Science Baskin Engineering University of California, Santa Cruz
