I didn't have a chance to look into it now, but it was a side effect
of a recent step in reworking the www infrastructure where
www.FreeBSD.org doesn't currently point to the actual web server, but
a frontend reverse proxy. Unfortunately the cvsup pull from
cvsup-master of web data used www as a name so it broke when the DNS
entry for www was updated. I fixed this now, and I can see on
cvsup-master that the latest sync actually pulled changes.

The problem with GNATS is that cvsupd is broken on FreeBSD 10, and the
master source of GNATS data (freefall) runs FreeBSD 10.0.

Thanks for letting us know on both accounts!
