Hi everyone,
Can someone make a backup of the Maxima CVS data,
ideally on a semi-regular schedule? To the best of my knowledge,
there has been no backup of CVS data for quite some time.
Given the unpredictable state of Sourceforge, there's a nonzero
probability that Maxima CVS could crash unrecoverably, and
that would be a serious bummer. (We will probably always have
the latest or near-latest file versions in developer sandboxes,
but the CVS history could be lost.)
All that is needed is sufficient disk space and bandwidth, and
the rsync program. I believe no special permission is needed
to execute this:
rsync -av 'rsync://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/maxima/*' .
If we can get a few people making backups whenever they
feel the urge, that would be terrific.
All the best,
Robert Dodier
