rsync -> cvs down?

The svn server appears to be down.

Actually, I'm just checking out a developer release from

  https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/

Note that https is required,
               ^
the unsecured http protocol seems not to be working...

I am not able to access cvs via rsync today. Is the service down?

Yes.  We should have sent email about it to r-devel but it has been a
hectic several days.

The bad news is that the newly installed cvs.r-project.org machine,
which is also rsync.r-project.org, was compromised and we had to take
it off the net.

The good news is that, thanks to heroic efforts by Martin Maechler and
Deepayan Sarkar, the CVS repository has been transformed to Subversion
and is available at http://svn.r-project.org/R/ (and at
https://svn.r-project.org/R/ but SSL is probably only needed by those
doing commits).  If you have a Subversion client (see
http://subversion.tigris.org - those using Windows may also want to
look at http://tortoiseSVN.tigris.org/) you can check out and update
the current r-devel from http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/ and the
current R-patched from
http://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-1-9-patches/
