Start... This site allows you to start and manage projects related to CVS. [32]Register | [33]Login Important News The cvshome site is currently being thoroughly cleaned as a direct result of an exploitative code set that attacks a cvs security violation. The publication of this code makes all sites running cvs with any remote protocol vulnerable. Use the following information to determine if your site is at risk and to access either a patch for this problem or a full source distribution with the fix included. We are sorry for any inconveniences you may be experiencing as a result of this downtime. No last-modified-date in the header, but clearly was either added (this msg) on or after 29dec04, or got added before that date, but was at least seen (and left there) by whoever added the 29dec04 cvs-released note. Well, it's april 2005 now -- what do people do to get a cvs-emacs these days? ======================================= Further, I myself (never before having any use for cvs, and probably no use beyond grabbing a cvs-emacs) find confusing that cvs-emacs news the first response to my post said I should go to. All kinds of stuff about dowloading a *software* repository, vs a *webpage* repository, with four choices: 4 lines matching "cvs -" in buffer cvs-news-as-of-6apr05.htm. 77:cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co 82:cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/webcvs/emacs co 93:cvs -z3 -d @savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co 99:cvs -z3 -d @savannah.gnu.org:/webcvs/emacs co emacs Anyway, *all* I want to do is download a cvs-emacs.tar.gz -- I don't care *where* it comes from -- preferably from wherever *you*, Stefan, get your own from. Please, I really don't want to spend time learning cvs and the details about savannah (now hacked) or wherever -- just a simple cookbook-like command that will get the darned thing (cvs-emacs). Maybe, stefan, I can just grab YOUR copy? (We could talk by phone to synchronize the few seconds you chmod a+r your version with my grabbing it somehow (via eg lynx's "g" cmd done at your web site). (Can't someone make it *simple* to grab a cvs-emacs? Like copy a good version to some public site, no cvs needed to download it! sure would make it a bit more user-friendly!) Thanks! David
