Well, would it be secure enough and reasonable from bandwidth utilization to
rsync the repository and/or nightly snapshots?

If it is reasonable in size people might accept either of these as an option
for anoncvs.

Or how about building cvsup on linux and distributing binary packages in 3
popular format, rpm/deb/tgz. Checkinstall does a pretty good job at that. So we
can cover as many users of anoncvs as possible.

Just a suggestion..
