Hello,

Related to this, could someone update the cygwin CVS checkout example on the
following page:

  http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html

Currently the example is:

  cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs AT sources DOT redhat DOT com:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup

Should now be:

  cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs AT sourceware DOT org:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup

There are a few other links on this page that may need to be updated as well. 
Thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,

Sam
