no anonymous cvs access for debian-gcc

[Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.msbb.uc.edu>]

     Does anyone know if the anonymous cvs access to the
different branches of debian-gcc on cvs.debian.org has
been disabled on purpose? I am trying to checkout the
current gcc-3.3 package with...

cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-gcc login
<null password>
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-gcc co gcc-3.3

...which fails with...

? gcc-3.3/debian
cvs server: warning: cannot write to history file /cvs/debian-gcc/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
cvs server: Updating gcc-3.3
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/debian-gcc/gcc-3.3' (/cvs/debian-gcc/gcc-3.3/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/debian-gcc/gcc-3.3'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Thanks in advance for any information.
