For years now, Scotty has rarely been maintained. However, it was so superior in, say, 2000, that it still remains popular and is widely used in even commercial, "mission-critical" applications. Perhaps its most palpable deterioration is in source and binary repositories, which seem monotonically to be falling away. CL no longer can easily find downloadable 3.0. I favor 3.0, even though Juergen calls it "alpha"; that simply reflects Juergen's high standards. For my part, I find it more useful and reliable than anything from the 2.x series.
In any case, when I need 3.0 sources, I use anonymous CVS, as J��¼rgen's page [L1 ] describes it (use password "anoncvs"):
cvs -d ":pserver:[email protected]:/anoncvs" login cvs -d ":pserver:[email protected]:/anoncvs" checkout scotty
Well, in 2005 (14 Nov 2005, to be exact), those links give:
# cvs -d ":pserver:[email protected]:/anoncvs" login Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/anoncvs CVS password: Unknown host anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de.
I don't _think_ that's a firewall issue here but I'm looking into it.
