Description Remko Catersels 2012-11-19 15:20:00 UTC

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/

Produces an error: 

Error: No valid CVS roots found! See @CVSrepositories in the configuration file (/usr/local/www/www.freebsd.org/data/cgi/cvsweb.conf).

cvsweb is easier to use than svnweb (easier to compare different releases/versions). Freshports also refers to cvsweb.

Please see http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html . 

We are bringing machines back online when we can.  The problem with 
the CVS infrastructure is that a plan was already in place to move 
away from it early next year.  (In particular, the svn->cvs importer 
is fragile and requires constant maintenance.)  So, bringing the CVS- 
related machines back online is a lower priority for now. 

I'm sure that this is not the news that you wanted to hear.  But, cvs 
is the "wave of the past" for FreeBSD.
