There was an update earlier/yesterday (Jul 29):

"CVS service data is pending validation, and infrastructure is being
brought back online. ETA for service restoration is end of day 8/3.
Data analysis is in-progress, to be followed by restore.  Validation
of CVS data requires a greater degree of manual validation than other
SCMs."

So, things should finally be back online on Monday Aug 3. CVS
restoration took 2 weeks last time - sadly this is par for the course
with CVS... Subversion projects were restored on Jul 25, with Git
(highest priority) on Jul 22.

My git repo has the full CVS history of the entire project going back to:

Author: Jerry Veldhuis <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Nov 2 17:58:03 2001 +0000

    initial revision


The most recent commit it has is:

Author: Geoff Westcott <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Jul 12 17:03:27 2015 +0000

    add tv_augment filter


It's up-to-date bar a single commit I made to xmltv/grab/eu_egon
test.conf to fix the test channels on Jul 13 (which is what you might
have).

If the worst happens, we have the entire project history in git already.

However, Sourceforge CVS should be back online after the weekend so we
should be able to migrate gracefully after one final CVS-based
release.

Cheers,
Nick
