If anoncvs1.ca is broken, then I would expect that we would all have serious problems with our trees, since that is the machine that redistributes cvs.openbsd.org, which is located in Theo's basement. When cvs is really broken, it usually just lasts a few hours. The likelihood that the whole tree has been busted for a week with no developers noticing is pretty slim. And if you are on Shaw's network as a customer, the University of Alberta is on-net with Shaw. Just check out whatever tag you want freshly and don't worry about it. But if you are having issues building, then you are probably having a source/binary synchronization issue.
