Keith:
Are the old data from october still available somewhere ? I didn't
verify the content of the STSF CVS and the old (and now obsolete) Xprint
CVS yet - and todays attempt to do a checkout failed like this:
-- snip --
> rsync -avz freedesktop.org::compromised-cvs/stsf .
@ERROR: chroot failed
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (34 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(342)
-- snip --
