Sourceforge says they will allow 'readonly' access to CVS for a long time
after Nov 30 (which is the deadline at which time 'cvs commit' will be
turned off)

SVN has a workflow/usage very similar to CVS and has a much lower learning
curve - that is why Bernhard and I agreed to use SVN instead of GIT.

 If you want a copy (I have made a backup locally on my system) of the CVS
repository this is how to do it:

           rsync -av rsync://a.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/mjpeg/\* cvs

if anyone wants those sub-projects (modules) they are available in the cvs
repository.
