Frankly, do all this people asking for anon cvs need it at all? While there is a "Daily CVS Snapshot", one of the best and "best hidden" features on the Scribus website? As long as these daily snapshots work well (and they do, judging by my experience, daily at 4 am), I for myself don't need anon cvs anymore. Simply click on Download on the Scribus website and head for "Daily CVS Source SnapShot" section: http://www.scribus.org.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownload&cid=11 What would help in any case, is to point people more prominently to use this feature instead of anon cvs in various places (translation howto http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=translationhowto&page=translation_howto , installation howto http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=install&page=install1 , Scribus FAQ http://www.scribus.org.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=2 , etc.) br Maciej ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
