Sourceforges shizn!t has been b0rked forever, Roger.  The guys working on 
emc2 couldn't afford the time lags the lack of dependability of 
sourceforges cvs server enforced on the progress of development when they 
were working at 20+ commits a day, and sourceforge only let any one of 
them (there are about a 6 pack of core developers & maybe another 12 pack 
sweetening up the pot from time to time) in to work 2 or 3 times a week, 
so the kind folks at Sherline (who FWIW, have their own dog in this fight 
in the form of some small desktop machines they sell that runs this 
software) donated a machine and the bandwidth to host the server there.  
The guys wrote some wrappers for the commit function that rebuilds all 
branches of the tree everytime a commit comes in, and emails anybody 
subscribed to the emc.commit list any errors in the compile, complete 
with the compilers exit stanza.

That's at least as good a deal as bottled beer or sliced bread, and 
assures that the tree stays pretty much in a 'clean to build' condition 
99% of the time.  That is how real development should proceed IMO.  That 
tree has been known to be rebuilt because of commits, 30+ times a day!

BTW, Roger, where are you, maybe I'll look you up the next time I hit the 
UP.
