anonymous cvs down

A couple of people have tried checking out the ZDT via anonymous cvs and found out that they couldn’t build.  Turns out that the developer CVS and anonymous CVS on Sourceforge havn’t been synchronized for the past couple of weeks. I sent the SF guys an email and here was their reponse:

Per the notice on the site status page, the CVS sync between
developer and anonymous CVS hosts is currently disabled. This is
due to some potential data corruption issues on the developer CVS
host. We are trying to keep the data sources separate for now, to
ensure the highest levels of data integrity (we have multiple
possible sources of good data to fix the corruption from,
including the anonymous CVS hosts, nightly tarballs, tape backups
and user’s own working copies).

The SF page says they’re aiming to have it fixed by the end of April.  Well it’s May already, so who knows when it will be complete.  I’ll let people know when I find out things can be checked out again.
