The problem is that we (like I guess a number of corporate people) have firewalls to go through. For CVS I've done the work to tunnel through. Bitkeeper doesn't seem to come with source so I can't hack it, and the version out of the box doesn't tunnel. I would really like some open source access to the repository. In effect that means CVS (CVSup is out for different reasons). (confirmed access problems during the regression tests when it tried to contact the logging server). * * greg k-h * richard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Offer Technical Lead, Trust Technology.
