This is from a mail, send from
Carsten 'raster' Haitzler to the developers mailing list:
One upon a time, in a land far far away, did the little E munchkins place all their valuables in a big shared repository, and lo did it be good. But over time did this repository fill up and slow down. Many of the smaller munchkins did bemoan the slowness and lack of access. Then did such problems bear down on the fatter munchkins in E land, and so it was that the great exodus began.
Far and wide did the E munchkins journey - to distant shores did they sail, bringing with them their history and possessions. To these distant shore did they arrive - and then did they cheer, for those shores bore fruitful bounties. It was here the munchkins set forth to rebuild their repository of love... day and night did they toil... and finally it was complete.
"BEHOLD" did the fattest of the munchkins cry. "Here on these distant shores have we now our new home, our new repository. All the anonymous munchkins did rejoice for turning themselves towards the
:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e
repository would grant them access to their beloved code again - which now would be only 15 minutes behind the main repository which the fatter munchkins would access by turning towards
USERNAME@cvs.enlightenment.org:/cvs/e
wherewith USERNAME would be their identity in this new land.
And so did the munchkins cheer, rejoice and make merry, for once again could they go about their lives in happiness.

And in plain English...
CVS IS BACK!!!
anon CVS:
:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e
eg:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e checkout e17
developer CVS:
USERNAME@cvs.enlightenment.org:/cvs/e
eg:
cvs -z3 -d raster@cvs.enlightenment.org:/cvs/e checkout e17
otherwise it's identical to CVS as it was before - developer cvs is on a different machine to keep load down, anon CVS is synced every 15 minutes from developer CVS (much faster turn-around now for anonymous access). for developers who gave me their account info - you will have the username you asked for. if it has capitals they will have been made smaller-case. if you are not sure - as an anonymous user checkout the "devs" module - ie.
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e checkout devs
and look in there. this module is actually the "management" module right now where we will track developer information and use it to manage developers. if you move, change email, or name, location, or what you are responsible for, change the info.txt file in your username. etc. you can check this module out as a developer later and modify things. do NOT play with other developer's info unless you are ASKED to do it by them - or you are a "senior" developer (you know who you are) and you NEED to do management (a dev is being removed from cvs access due to stopping work, or asking to be removed or doing really bad things (tm) in CVS).
If you are not there, I haven't added you yet. (only 1 of those pending in my inbox). If I have - your ssh public key should work - if it doesn't - let us know of course!
