That's Right CVS is open - you need to run, don't walk, to:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com
It's all exciting - except for the boring parts.
Tomorrow morning we will have another exciting item for you but I'm busy typing things and colin is on an airplane and all the other slackers are sleeping or some such nonsense as that so you'll have to wait until the morning.
Deal.
It's a bright, shiny, new day. But the fog isn't quite lifted yet.
We have opened to the public the anonymous access CVS server for Fedora Core and Fedora Extras. The server lives on
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com and it has been in use for quite some time now.
The CVS server currently hosts two major projects, with more headed its way:
1. Fedora Core read-only anonymous mirror for our internal Fedora development tree. Now you can follow through CVS every commit done by the Red Hat engineers to the Fedora Core development tree. You can quickly reference when, where and why certain changes have been inserted into your favorite packages.
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/dist
export CVSROOT
2. Fedora Extras repository. Thanks to a group of very dedicated volunteers the repository has been updated to be compatible with the Fedora Core 3; we're working on getting an automated build system in place that will provide binary rpms for all out of this repository.
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/extras
export CVSROOT
For those that do not want to read instructions and want to get to the "bleeding edge" as fast as possible, we have daily checkout snapshots available at
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/webfiles/
After unpacking your download, you can issue a "cvs update" to bring the tree in sync with the latest changes since the archive was created. If this is the first time accessing the Fedora CVS server, you will need to do a "cvs login", hit Enter when asked for a password, and then attempt the "cvs update".
ViewCVS is also available for both of these repositories if you prefer to browse through the packages:
There are also CVS-related mailing lists that you can subscribe to. these mailing lists publish the CVS commits as they happen. If you are curious, you can sign up for the mailing lists at the following links:

- Fedora Extras:
Have fun,
