[MITgcm-devel] suggestion for http://mitgcm.org/public/source_code.html

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dimitris,

Seems that something happened to the disk server "orwell" around 11.pm
yesterday but was up again, at least after 00:45 this morning.
so you should be able to see the updated web-page "using_cvs.html" only now
(as opposed to earlier this morning).
The manual is re-built everyday ~3:30pm, so no yet there.

And I confirm that my failed attempt (without the cvs login step) was without 
the duplicated "cvsanon" (that I missed in your previous msg).

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
