It would be very nice to have the same kind of web interface as the 
FreeBSD has, with a web accessible CVS tree.
Advantages is that it would make the source more accesible to non-hacker
users (raising the feeling-involved factor), help documentation writing by
browsing changes easily before checking out / committingï¿½and maybe other
advantages too (?).

Uh, we do have it. cvsup is up and running on postgresql.org (a
FreeBSD machine) and we have posted several binaries on

  ftp://postgresql.org/pub/CVSup/

Since you mention it, I had posted the other day a request for someone
to test some RPMs I have made of the latest CVSup release. It would
need a Linux glibc2 machine (I built it on a RH5.2 system), and the
RPMs include an example file for Postgres clients. They are in
/pub/CVSup/beta/ on our ftp server. Once someone installs them
successfully I'll go ahead and update them (the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/cvsupd.init startup file was not quite right, but a
test of the cvsup client would be sufficient to verify the RPMs I
think).

The *great* thing about CVSup is that you end up with the full CVS
repository on your local machine, and can do things like "cvs log"
without going over the net. CVSup has so many optimizations for file
transfer that it just screams over the network, and updates of the CVS
tree happen much faster than anonymous CVS can do.

I'm hoping to get the time to finish marking up a chapter for the docs
on CVS access to postgresql.org, including the CVSup option. In the
meantime look at doc/FAQ_CVS and doc/src/sgml/cvs.sgml. Does anyone
have an interest in picking this up as they do an install themselves?
Would be a great help...

Oh, slight misunderstanding there.
I'm perfectly aware of the CVSup availability. What I meant was the
cvsweb.cgi perl script which lets one browse the diffs and versions
directly on the web. This is what I meant as "accessible", more to be able
to browse older versions easily than to stay up to date.

You can click in the backend flowchart to see the code.  That count's,
doesn't it.  :-)

There is also a utility available just to create html versions of
complete cvs logs. cvs2html can be used as part of a batch-type
process and works very well.
