CVS access failures

[Shifflett, David (CIV)]

I am trying to build on a Fedora 19 system.
I am getting a 'connection refused' error when it tries to checkout
newlib from sourceware.org

It is possible that CVS is being blocked by my IT department,
I am looking into that.

Can someone confirm that the CVS server at sourceware.org
is up and accessible?

If CVS access is being blocked,
what alternatives do I have for getting things built?


Build command:
../source-builder/sb-set-builder --log=l-sparc.txt --prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/4.11 4.11/rtems-sparc

Tail of error log:
script: 84: cd ${build_top}

source setup: sparc-rtems4.11-gcc-4.8.3-newlib-19-Aug-2014-1: source newlib -q -D -n newlib-19-Aug-2014

I also tried to access CVS from the command line
and got the same 'connection refused' error.

THanks for any help,
