Just a reminder to everyone (especially now that we've updated ICU so
there's a lot of data to sync with) you can tell CVS to use a compressed
channel for its data. For mostly-text (like, say, ICU's source) this works
pretty well. Just add the -zN flag to the CVS line, where N is a number
between 1 and 9. (Higher means more compression, though that takes more
CPU tume)
For example, to update your local parrot version, just issue the command
cvs -z9 update
and let the data stream on down. This'll cut down on the amount of data
that's transmitted by rather a lot (factor of two or three, IIRC) so if
you're on dialup or slow DSL it'll make your life much nicer.
