Please update your web page (etc.) to notify non-active users that it is no longer available, or fix the server as soon as possible. BTW, CVSup is not an alternative to anonymous CVS. Reasons include CVSup is not popular, the client is not very portable, it cannot be used to obtain the change logs, diffs, etc. without having the repository locally, cannot retrieve arbitrary files, and more. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: See above. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
