Tom,

I don't know what unreasonable infrastructure you are referring to.
Building cvsup is a major pain, but installing and running it isn't, in
my experience. There's a package in Fedora Extras. Setting up cvsweb
against my cvsup repo is a fine idea - I wonder why I didn't think of that.

That's not to say that supporting cvsync isn't a good idea too.
TIMTOWTDI as we perl people like to say.
