Since the Fedora Linux distribution (always problems with Fedora, sigh) has decided to ignore the FAT GLARING WARNING about NOT packaging up pilot-link 0.12.x in their releases, I've taken anonymous CVS down indefinitely, and hourly snapshots will also be removed.
Those who wish to use the code, will have to wait until official releases are made.
Sorry, but this has happened way too often with Fedora (and previously with the Red Hat packagers) to ignore time and time again. Their ignorance has increased our maintenance headaches, and I'm frankly tired of dealing with the support issues.
Public CVS is not a requirement
There is nothing stopping distributions from putting the released code into their packages and distros. Why would having a public CVS matter? Thousands of projects don't have public CVS, and I've described the reasons why having an open CVS is actually a problem for the maintainers.
There's no real reaosn for unreleased code to go into the distributions, since we never get bug reports or patches back from those distributions or their users anyway.
I'm still stewing on a proper solution, but so far none has come to light.
