Actually we are working on a scheme to support software projects looking
for server space [web, ftp, list, cvs, etc] and it will hopefully work out
better..
Access to the gnome CVS tree is just nasty unless you are lucky enough to
not have to use the anon server. Currently I've restricted anon-cvs to
15 connections, it's always full :<

Libtool strikes me as the sort of program that needs the special knowledge
Gord has about the many platforms it supports so it might be
counter productive to let people without that experiance have write
access.
BTW, the current gnome CVS tree is a stunning 296M, the biggest things in
the tree don't seem to be 'gnome',
20973 dgs
33286 gimp
45783 linux
10273 nethack
14918 e
At one point I offered the one guy who used the 'linux' tree his own cvs
space but he decliend, I'm not even sure it's used anymore.
