hi all, here at CRUX PPC we have troubles with cvsup/cm3 (the only modula3 compiler that works on PPC_LINUX) on systems with newer glibc (nptl).
i'm writing a "driver" for "ports" that uses the normal cvs client to sync the local repository with the remote files instead of cvsup... seems it works well. it require an anonymous access to the cvs server, we're testing it for PPC base and opt ports collection from the sunsite's cvs server.
we have in mind to include it in the upcoming CRUX PPC 2.0 release instead of cvsup, so can we have an anonymous access to the CLC ports repository? 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.
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. 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?
cptn on freenode has told to me that you're using cvs on ssh, it's not a problem, we can work on the "driver" to works throught ssh. 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).
