He was presumably mirroring off one of the anoncvs mirrors, which are still running and still could be rsync'ed from, using anoncvs.eu.gnome.org as the hostname, say. (I think that's the right one.) Of course, then you get all the old lag back or more. We've never allowed anonymous rsync from cvs.gnome.org, and I'm not sure it's a good idea. The GNOME repository is *huge* compared to the stuff people are interested in, and an rsync of the whole repository takes several minutes of server CPU time to complete, even if nothing has changed. (Memory, from a while ago.) Regards, Owen
