at src/general/init/init.sh.Also, AFAICT you can't distinguish 5.x history from 6.x. There are SVN
branches for the 5.x CVS release branches, but not for the trunk.
Good point.

Is anonymous (pserver) CVS still functional?
No idea. But the copy from Martin Landa looks good:

I also have a full backup copy (offline) available.
