[Dspace-general] Sourceforge Anonymous CVS access down.

[Mark Diggory]

Hello DSpace Community,

This is just a "community service announcement", and many of you may  
already know this. The DSpace codebase is hosted in a CVS tree on  
Sourceforge, a host for many many Open Source projects. There has  
been an ongoing Anonymous CVS access issue  at Sourceforge for ~ 2  
weeks now. Anonymous CVS access is planned to be doffline for the  
rest of the month as they make repairs to hardware and bring the  
service back online without any loss of data integrity.

Until Anonymous CVS is back online, source distributions can be  
downloaded va the Sourceforge download mirrors:

> is our highest priority. The sync process between developer and  
> anonymous CVS (ViewCVS, etc.) is disabled now until the new  
> infrastructure is in place, to ensure we have maximum coverage for  
> the small number of data corruption issues that have been detected.  
> We understand this is sub-optimal, but strongly believe that the  
> protection of the data is paramount.
