sourceforge anonymous CVS currently broken (was: Canonical repository for qof gnucash svn or qof cvs)

Hi,

the fundamental decision here has been debated by several developers here 
several times. BUT:

*Today* I guess your problem is simply that sourceforge's *anonymous* CVS has 
unexpected problems. Their site status http://sourceforge.net/docs/A04/ says 
that although the *developer* CVS is up and running, the *anonymous* CVS 
stopped updating at the CVS status approx. 10 days ago. 

Sourceforge always had a synchronisation delay between developer CVS and 
anonymous CVS, which usually was around 5 hours. However, due to some massive 
hardware failure last week (dunno -- maybe their server burnt down), 
developer CVS after several days (!) of outage is now running again but they 
didn't enable that synchronisation between developer and anonymous CVS again.

On gnucash.org, there is no such delay between developer and anonymous CVS. In 
effect, until sourceforge's anonymous CVS is running again, you should either 
download a released tarball from qof.sourceforge.net, or use the QOF from 
gnucash.org, but not use the anonymous CVS of sourceforge.
