Test-AutoBuild CVS checkout fails

The anonymous CVS checkout for Test-AutoBuild is failing:

http://www.ohloh.net/projects/7271/enlistments

On my local desktop a checkout works without issues, eg:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.gna.org:/cvs/testautobuild co testautobuild

The ohloh CVS checkout has been failing for many months

Hi Daniel,

I think these failures were caused by a bug in cvsnt, which is the CVS client we use. cvsnt really doesn't like it when the repository URL is a symlink to another directory. In this case, cvs.gna.org:/cvs/testautobuild appears to be a symlink to cvs.gna.org:/var/cvs/testautobuild. cvsnt crashes when this happens.

I've changed the repository URL to /var/cvs/testautobuild. A new download is scheduled; I'll keep an eye on it today.
