Bug#338503: ITP: cvssuck -- inefficient cvs repository grabber using cvs command



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@n1.pl>

* Package name    : cvssuck
  Version         : 0.3.cvs20020108

  Description     : inefficient cvs repository grabber using cvs command

CVSsuck is a mirroring tool for CVS repositories. Unlike other tools
such as CVSup or rsync, it uses cvs command to access the repository.
So, it works well with remote repositories without a special server or
shell account. However it is inefficient and not perfect because CVS
client/server protocol is not designed for mirroring. If a server
provides special way to grab a repository, you shouldn't use CVSsuck.
