I understand that.

I can now check out with CVS from the command line, both via the
pserver proxy and a forwarded port via ssh, but still no luck with
Hudson itself. The failure message stays the same
(see http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/view/SOLsun/job/dummy/7/console).

Ideas what's going on are welcome.

But it's not just CVS. The regression test scripts check for
explicit ssh reachability of birch.elegosoft.com; we need scp
or rsync to upload archives, and wget or curl to download.
I'm sure the list will get even longer if we inspect the existing
jobs.

I doubt that opencsw will change their setup for m3.

I'm sure we can work around every little or big problem that comes
up, but I simply haven't got the time for it.

I'd be happy if anybody else tries to port all the SOLsun jobs
from http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/view/SOLsun/
(copy to another name and then adapt) to run on
http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/computer/opencsw_current9s/.

My simple test job currently is in
http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/view/SOLsun/job/dummy/

If nobody else volunteers, I'll try to work on it now and then, but
cannot promise any deadline.

Thanks for all your support,

Olaf
