On the Gnulib homepage <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/>, I read
You can use CVS in a read-only way, to retrieve the latest version from the Git repository, using a command like this: cvs -d :pserver:anonym...@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/gnulib.git co \ -d gnulib HEAD But then, if I try the command above, I get: cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to \ pserver.git.sv.gnu.org(140.186.70.73):2401 failed: \ Connection timed out Since I reckon nobody in his sane mind is still using CVS to access to the Gnulib repository, couldn't that statement in the home page be simply removed? And IMHO, any access to GNulib through CVS should be simply disabled (but I won't fight for that if anybody disagrees). Regards, Stefano
