Does anybody now why the anoncvs access does not work?

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.r-project.org:/cvs co -P R

cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to 
anoncvs.r-project.org(128.104.176.132):2401 failed: Connection refused

Is this still the issue that franz has been compromised?


Also, the link to http://anoncvs.r-project.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi at 
http://anoncvs.r-project.org/ does not work ...

Yes.  The master CVS archive was on franz and copied over to the web
server that I maintain.  When franz was removed from the net, the
rsync process stopped working.  Around the same time, my web server
was hit with the same or a similar intrusion (possibly from franz) so
it was also removed from the net.  I rebuilt the web pages for Octave
on a different machine.  I'd be happy to resume the rsync process for
the R project CVS archive if whoever is maintaining the master CVS
archive now is interested in doing that.

The web access to the anonymous CVS archives has not been restored
because I haven't had time to do it yet, but it should reappear
sometime in the near future.

I'd really appreciate CVS running again.  rsync is still a PITA,
despite what people think.
