I just got up, lemme catch up with the rest of the email and think about this for a bit. My initial reactions -

Running our own cvs servers sounds sane to me, there are lots of problems with the current ones, including hawing both of the anon services useless at the same time. Something more reliable is definitely needed. I dunno about the current tarball server and it's load, but encouraging people to use tarballs might help with the overall system load. I have been suggesting people move to tarballs, but I always get the same response - they are too old. So tarballs need to be made more often as well. Spreading the load with some sort of checks and balances seems like the best way to do it. So that we A) have no single point of failure, other than sf.net dev cvs, B) avoid or auto heal problems rather than waiting for lots of anon users to complain, and C) make there are plenty of reliable admins spread around the globe and timezones that will fix those problems that need manual fixing when needed. > 2. If so - what box do we really need? I am thinking something like: I have no opinions on what sort of hardware is needed. > 3. Are people willing to donate enough $ to make it happen? I'm officially below the poverty line, so I can not donate any cash. I can donate time and admin experience though. So put me down as "willing and able to help setup and admin the servers".
