It is available from the following FTP sites: ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/ ftp://ftp.polstra.com/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/ (slow; avoid if possible) Full sources as well as FreeBSD binaries are available: cvsup-bin-13.5.tar.gz FreeBSD static binaries for the client cvsupd-bin-13.5.tar.gz FreeBSD static binaries for the server cvsup-13.5.tar.gz Sources ** MD5 signatures for these files are: MD5 (cvsup-bin-13.5.tar.gz) = 6ee6a4b335c18d0d00b2f140928d6a3d MD5 (cvsupd-bin-13.5.tar.gz) = 005791d8483570f2a093b7e202876d95 MD5 (cvsup-13.5.tar.gz) = 82c6dc9290fb1ce055a6027670af57f6 An updated port will appear in the FreeBSD ports and packages collections soon: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/net/cvsup/ ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-current/net/cvsup-13.5.tgz The FreeBSD package now depends only on the "modula-3-lib" package, a subset of the Modula-3 installation consisting of only the shared libraries. Because of this, you can now install and use the "cvsup" package in a reasonable amount of disk space. The package is much smaller than the statically linked binary distribution, so updates to new versions of CVSup should be more convenient now. The package is the recommended distribution for binary-only users. The static binary distributions will probably be phased out soon. If you want SOCKS support, you must also install the "modula-3-socks" port or package: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/lang/modula-3-socks/ ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/packages-current/lang/modula-3-socks-1.0.tgz SOCKS is supported only under FreeBSD, and only with dynamically linked executables. The static binary distributions do not support SOCKS. -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
