Hello,
I was looking for a nice tool to access the GNU Emacs CVS repository
from behind the firewall. IMO, there might be lot of people behind such
firewalls and are trying to access the CVS repository (any project with
ViewCVS). I have tried various tools but they were not dependable.
I have written a CRUDE PERL Script which uses GNU wget internally to
download the files. I am very NEW to PERL.
- This can download only from the HEAD.
- Requires GNU wget (all extra options must be in .wgetrc)
- Will update local repository only if the versions on source
repository is different from the local.
- 2 extra files (dirlist and filelist) gets created in the project
folder. This has the data relating to revision info of files on
local.
- Update handles removal of files/folders (and copying of new stuff)
I have tried this on Windows 2000 using PERL 5.8 (not ActivePerl) and GNU
Wget 1.9-beta and it worked for me.
If you find a similar need, go ahead and use it. But be careful, it is
only I have used it and is not well tested. It is BETA phase.
The latest version will be posted on my website:

with regards,

Did you try CVS/SSH? Or is port 22 blocked by your firewall as well?

Yes... the proxy blocks all ports other than 8080. It is Proxy and
Firewall combination.
