The HACKING file suggests using anoncvs.gimp.org instead of anoncvs.gnome.org. If you use the latter, you will get one of the GNOME anoncvs servers are random, and the one in Spain is known to be badly out of sync. Using anoncvs.gimp.org ensures that you always get the same anoncvs server. Anyway, regardless of which one you are using, you should usually expect a delay of about half a day. > Also, the RSS changelog (http://wilber.gimp.org/~rss/gimp-cvs.rdf) has > links to the GNOME bonsai on cvs.gnome.org which are all dead links.

Bonsai is supposed to be restored in the not-too-distant future. When it works, it provides a richer set of functions than viewcvs. So switching to viewcvs would only be a temporary solution. I don't know if it is worth it. This depends very much on how long it will take for tools like bonsai and lxr to be restored on cvs.gnome.org. I don't have the answer to that question. -Raphaël
