I have checkouts of just about every branch ever + the head in 
a couple of places - based on those, nothing untoward appears 
to have happened to the source tree.

Everyone with a product or other code in that cvs should do a 
check to make sure, but given that we caught the intrusion 
almost immediately and that the attacker's methods were rather 
unsophisticated, I think the risk is pretty low.

Surely people can compare checkouts of the various branches (2.6, 2.7) against
downloaded tarballs? We can't do the same with TRUNK, but that should be still
possible to check against, say, a 2.7 beta.

That makes me nervous. How will you know that the sources in cvs havent been 
compromised?

I'd like to make a request.  If evidence reveals that
{cvs,collector}.zope.org *was* compromised, then would ZC kindly
consider making all 'security' bugs in the collector public?
The reasoning being that there is little point behind hiding potential
security problems from the zope community if the blackhat community
has already obtained the details.  That said, any status on getting
the collector back up?
