I don't think it matters which one you use as long as you stick with one. If you are looking for a fix from cvs-all, capture the changes to a log file and look for it. Switch sites and you could be using a site that the cron job hasn't fired up and updated its source yet. Someone asked at one point in the past (it would be in the archives about the time 4.1 was at rc1) and IIRC the report was something like they all run once an hour. They didn't comment on what time during the hour were the cron jobs running. The last time I checked my /ncvs was around 1+GB and that is a lot of code to check up on. If there were a lot of mirrors around the world, you could even schedule update times to even out usage. You wouldn't want 40 or 50 sites checking cvs at the same time. I was thinking of doing my own release and set my server up to have a mirror. It hasn't been updated for awhile and du of ncvs shows 788630 ncvs/src 1014951 ncvs Kent > > -- > , The power .
