I can't get access to CVS through my company's firewall. Will changing to
SVN fix this problem?
Yes.
Forrest using SVN and I am behind a *strong* firewall as well and *yes* I can check out the newest head.
BTW I wrote down some notes on what to do for making SVN working for forrest committer maybe it is useful for you and other (just adjust forrest to geronimo) ;-):
My advice for committer that have access to forrest svn (UNIX-Groups: cocoon, forrest):
I) Prepare your access:
1) ssh cvs.apache.org (You can check in which groups you are with "groups")
2) svnpasswd $yourUserName
3) then you will be ask for the new password ($newPassword)
4) download and install a SVN client - At the end I used TortoiseSVN
II) Checkout the new Head (with TortoiseSVN-> right mouse->Checkout):
1) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/forrest/ (URL of repository)
2) Head Revision (Revision)
III) Change the file you would like to change
1) Commit (with TortoiseSVN-> right mouse->Commit)
2) Username ($yourUserName)
3) Password ($newPassword)
... cross your fingers and smile (hopefully) ;-)
