CVS root change

[Luigi Ballabio]

Hi all,
        the CVS repository has a new address; see  
<http://quantlib.org/cvs.shtml> for details. I haven't tried the  
anonymous CVS yet; reports are welcome.

I've tried anonymous access from behind a firewall without success.

Under the old infrastructure, for those of us behind firewalls which
block traffic on the standard ports, sourceforge provided alternate
servers/ports for anonymous (pserver) and development (ssh) access:

cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net 443
cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net 443

Under the new infrastructure, for developer access from behind a
firewall, the updated docs say to use the standard server with an
alternate port

quantlib.cvs.sourceforge.net 443

and that works fine for me but as far as I can see the new docs say
nothing at all about anonymous access from behind a firewall.

I raised a sourceforge support request but in the meantime I'd be
grateful for any ideas anyone may have.

Regards,
Eric

I saw the other day that source forge is offering also svn - svn supports
check-in  check-out operations over http/https - I've personally used such a
repository behind a corporate fire wall and a proxy - it worked perfectly -
if QL could switch to svn it will simplify tremendously all of us behind a
firewall and/or proxies ...

just my two cents

cheers,

Not to mention the fact that Subversion is loads better than CVS!

I know---I'm using it already for other projects. I was thinking of  
making the switch in the near future, but I didn't want to  
hurry---unless there's serious problems with CVS, of course...
