I've just checked and the tarballs in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/projectname-cvsroot.tar.gz for DRI and Mesa3d are just as old as the anonymous CVS server, and from the SF documents there is no other way to directly access the repository (except contact the SF team, but you can't put that in a cron job, can you? ;-) Basically this means that CVS mirroring is impossible and the only solution to the current problem is to move the repository elsewhere. I don't know why the silence from the DRI SF project admins - I'm CC'ing to them now (at least those currently in the active) in the hope to hear what they have to say about this. I remind again that this issue should be presented to the SF team to know what's their position and what to expect from the future. This issue [of the unreliable CVS anonymous serving] together with the recent news of closing inactive and old projects may well be a sign that SF is saturating again, but this time the saturation appears to be fought not by further investment, but degrading the quality of the services. If true then it's a matter of time to collapse, or at least be unusable for big projects such as DRI. In my opinion we should consider alternatives for CVS hosting. It's not such a big deal after all (except for the hassle of setting up a new project and accounts) and we can always go back without loss of data. My 2c anyway...
