Anonymous CVS repository for csv(lib/csv) and soap4r(lib/soap4r) were once released to public at 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST(2004-07-05 06:30:00 UTC). But I, the maintainer of these repository, found my checking process of CVS repository was not enough. So I suspended the repositories again. Users who checkout these repositories from 2004-07-05 15:30:00 JST(2004-07-05 06:30:00 UTC) to 2004-07-06 16:30:00 JST(2004-07-06 07:30:00 UTC) must check your CVS workspace. I'm sorry for the trouble this error caused you.

I'll report again after confirmation of these repositories.

csv and soap libraries which are bundled to ruby's repository(/src/ruby) were confirmed that it is safe.

lib/soap4r, lib/csv, mod_ruby-old were added to the Anonymous CVS repository.

Then, eruby was renamed to eruby-old. mod_ruby/eruby are developed on the Subversion repository now.
