Hi,
I disabled the get-a-tarball feature of viewcvs, because distracted
users
would click on it in a high level directory, attempting to download
hundreds
of megabytes, which puts a very heavy load on the system.

You can use instead:
  wget http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/gnubg.tar.gz

which will not get you an instant snapshot, but instead a snapshot of
how your
repository was last night.

It could be nice if a link can be added someplace. For example, a entry in the Savannah FAQ, or a line in the project cvs page. Is it stable ? Will http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/project.tar.gz be available or is it a temporary feature ?


Regards,
