You misunderstood, I think: first, anon CVS will continue to be available; and second, it is _already_ available. (That is, people can check-out files, but the maintainers still cannot check-in new code.) Perhaps the Savannah staff didn't update their Web pages to that effect yet. > I've been doing the following: > > cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs > > I'm pretty sure I have not been using SSH as I only do checkouts and > don't have an account. I've never done CVS via SSH so far as I know. You won't need to. Anon CVS is limited to read-only access to the CVS tree, and as such, its security requirements are much lower than for people who want write access.
