15 Thanks for bringing this up, I was going to do so this week. I can get
16 the cvs data out of the bk tree, if we want to move it anywhere else, so
17 we will not loose the history (if that's an issue.) But we need to get
18 moved off of bkbits.net as soon as possible, and the gentoo server is
19 not a current solution :(
