First subject, CVS. I hate CVS, and am behind a draconian firewall at campus which requires me to use CVS via CLI on a remote Red Hat box. Not pretty. Thus, I've declined to use Sourceforge's CVS functionality on the grounds that it's a waste of my time and patience. If there's anyone out there with the incling to manage the CVS, they can drop me a line. Otherwise, I'll continue to distribute source updates via the File Releases mechanism. Which reminds me - yes, the bz2 files in the File Repository are of the source, not binaries. Some people seem to be getting confused.
Secondly, I've started a project for Secure Distributed Objects <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/securedo>, which provides a subclass of NSPort that uses SSL over TCP, giving you [finally] a secure transport for Distributed Objects. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work as yet - requests for the root proxy on the client side always return nil, for reasons beyond me. Apple have been uncooperative so far with regards to providing me with help or other information, so progress is and will continue to be unpredictable at best.
