hello... As many have noted, cvsweb.openbsd.org has had some problems lately due to bots that ignore the robots.txt file and try to download every imaginable permutation of diffs for every single file, often thousands of hits per minute, and from thousands of different IP addresses. Unfortunately, this just doesn't work well with a perl script being fired up for every hit.
Ken Westerback took it upon himself to rewrite cvsweb in "Go", and after a lot of annoying bike-shedding from me, we got something to put on line and see how it handles the load. So...give it a try at http://cvsweb.openbsd.org or https://cvsweb.openbsd.org and see how it works for you. If you see any important features missing, let us know. At the moment, it appears to be handling the bot-load much better than the old version, and the performance is much better for users. Note: while it LOOKS a lot like the old version, it is NOT URL compatible with the perl version, so old bookmarks into files won't work. Nick.
