The master anoncvs server, anoncvs.netbsd.org, now offers public rsync
access to the NetBSD CVS repository.  For historical reasons, this has
been offered by ftp.netbsd.org until now; in the near future, that
service (repository rsync on ftp.netbsd.org) will be eliminated.

You will notice three differences when fetching the repository from
anoncvs.netbsd.org instead of ftp.netbsd.org:

1) The path to the repository has changed.  The anoncvs server offers a
   single rsync module, "cvsroot", which is the root of the CVS repository.
   The old (ftp) server offered a module called "anoncvs", with the actual
   data in the subdirectory "main".  So you will need to move things around
   slightly on the client side, or run rsync on the client from a different
   directory.

2) IPv6 access to the repository is not currently available.  This will
   be remedied as quickly as possible.

3) Due to lighter load and a more suitable filesystem configuration on
   the anoncvs server, performance should be somewhat better;
   correspondingly, removing the distruptive rsync load from the ftp
   server (or, at least, some of that load) will improve performance for
   other uses of the ftp server.  The two servers are in the same location,
   so your connectivity to one will be just as good as to the other.

I'll make another announcement when we've chosen a date on which to end
repository rsync service on ftp.netbsd.org; but you should expect that
to occur before the 2.0 release.  The new service supports the same
number of users as the old service and is available now.
