[Clo-devel] Problems with cl-net hosted CVS repos?

[Mario S. Mommer]

Hi,

this works for me (all on one line):

cvs
-d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous at common-lisp.net:/project/beirc/cvsroot
co beirc

Can you send us the command that is not working?

As to the cgi-bin brouhaha - I'm on it.

Regards,
	Mario
