Sorry I didn't bring that up in IRC, but why do you switch away from httpup? I mean 'cvs update' transmits complete files as well (of course clients can request compression, but still), so it's similar in terms of netwerk load. I don't mean to advertise httpup, just interested in the reason your switching.
for base/opt collections we have to maintain the httpup REPO... the cvs wrapper does not require ftp/http space and overload to syncs is with the cvs tree.
Another thing I was wondering about is whether it makes sense to make PPC users use the tree from CLC which is only tested on x86.
most of the clc's ports works well on ppc too and they are a foundamentally resource for CRUX distro
Wouldn't it be better to have your own repository, and sync it with the CLC tree if this is wanted, including PPC specific changes and fixes?
sometime ago we have proposed a little hack to pkgutils to have only one main cvs repository and a technique to pass only the differences to the PPC clients... but no one has approved :(
AFAICS if Martin allows anonymous access to the CVS, it won't be through ssh (since the anonymous user would require a user account on this machine then).
i hope he can do that :) greetings -- Giulivo Navigante GnuPG KeyID: E468396A
