I'm not sure what you mean by `poor', but I'm perfectly able to remotely work on Amanda CVS tree, located in US, from my hosts in the Brazilian academic network, that's got just permanently overloaded few-Mb/s connection with US. > Whichever coast is chosen for the repository will greatly > inconvenience the people on the other coast. I could set up a CVS server in Brazil, so both would be annoyed :-D > I don't know CVS well enough: is there some kind of a mirroring capability > that can allow there to be two repositories and have changes migrate in > the background (sort of like the way news works)? I'm aware of mirroring capabilities of CVS servers, but, AFAIK, there must be a master site, that must handle all check-ins. -- Alexandre Oliva mailto:oliva@dcc.unicamp.br mailto:aoliva@acm.org http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brasil
