Hello, I've noticed that you have an rsync server running, but that your version control repositories aren't available for anonymous read-only downloading via rsync. I'm setting up a read-only local mirror of your source repositories because: at&t bandwidth caps + a large number of large projects I use + netflix streaming = obscene "overage" charges. But: local repositories + automated updating + local building = lower bandwidth usage per month than downloading lots of builds. I realize that there are mechanisms like svnsync and git cloning, but they are *extremely* slow compared to what rsync can do (for one project, svnsync took about 24 hours for the initial sync). So would it be possible for you to make the repositories available for anonymous *read-only* rsync access? Thanks!
