CVS may be fine for checking in and out single programs, but I've found it
to
be a real obstacle to learning the hurd/mach system. Usually I would use
grep
to find where a field is used. How can you do the equivalent in CVS? Is
there
a procedure you can use in CVS to download all of hurd/mach? Given my
current
internet access it takes 5-10 seconds every page I navigate in CVS. An
"all-in-one" archive, even if it weren't very current, would be a major aid
to those of us beginners who are trying to get a good overall understanding
of the system. It would greatly speed up the search process.

Hi,
> I wonder if one can get the compressed archive of the source. I know that
there are a V0.2 available at alpha.gnu.org but that one is quite old. Are
there any, more recent/newer, available? If so, could someone please give me
the location of that site?

(If this has been discussed before I appologize...)
Linus does not like CVS.
