CVS woes

[Allin C. <cot...@wf...>]

Following up on Stefan Husmann's question the other day: There's 
still no access to gnuplot CSV on sourceforge ("waiting for 
anoncvs_gnuplot's lock...").

This is not specific to gnuplot: support tickets going back to 
2015-11-11 complain of CVS hanging waiting for a lock, for several 
projects. I added one for gnuplot 3 days ago. Apparently none of 
these tickets has even been read yet, though some more recent 
submissions on other topics are already in the "pending" stack. It 
seems that CVS comes at the bottom of the list for attention.

Any plans for gnuplot to migrate to git? That seems to be _much_
better supported at sourceforge. I recently converted gretl 
(econometrics software on sourceforge) from CVS to git and it has 
been trouble-free since. If there's interest I can send my recipe 
for the transition. (There are several "how-to"s out there, but 
they're not all up to date.)
