And then promptly adopted by Torsten Landschoff. It was removed
later (#210708) due to non-availability of a suitable Modula-3
implementation.

(I'm posting this referece to the ITP bug in the hope of helping
others; it took me some time to find the removal bug number).

Best of luck with that. Torsten might still be interested, too.

CVSync [1] is a possible alternative to CVSup, not compatible with it, but
written in plain C.

That one looks interesting, I did not find it when I was googling for
alternatives to CVSup. I would love to see something like this packaged so
that we could distribute copies of our CVS worlwide and not have issues if
we have any issues with the servers holding our CVS in the future.

Regards

I find rsync being enough for mirroring CVS repos. Yes, I'm familiar with
CVSup usage of the rsync algorythm for some files and some special algorythms
tailored for rcs files, but I don't think that could be a showstopped for
mirroring CVS repos with rsync only.
