I was trying to update pkgsrc to get a version of rsync that would not be
susceptable to a recent problem.  (It probably won't affect me as I only
intend to run the client for now, but I'd rather not override a security
issue like that, as I may forget about it later and set up a server.  (^&)

When I attempt to do an anoncvs update, the results are:

# cvs update -PAd
anoncvs.netbsd.org: Connection timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)


....which doesn't tell me much.  I've tried several times, spaced at an hour
or few, and get the same results.  Is the anoncvs server just overwhelmed?


(Possibly related, I noticed an email that i sent to the NetBSD lists a few
days ago was initially refused due to "volume full" or some such at the NetBSD
server.  After retrying a bit later, the olib.org mail server was able to get
the NetBSD.org mail server to swallow it.  Is there some serious hardware
deficiency at NetBSD.org?  Or have people just been shuffling some hardware
around?)
