Thanks Peter,

I tried to grab this from the anonymous CVS mirror as per the EMBOSS
documentation here:
http://emboss.sourceforge.net/developers/cvs.html

Unfortunately it failed:

$ cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.open-bio.org:/home/repository/emboss login
Logging in to :pserver:cvs at cvs.open-bio.org:2401/home/repository/emboss
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.open-bio.org rejected
access to /home/repository/emboss for user cvs

I know there have been VM problems on this machine (also known as
code.open-bio.org) which have been intermitently been affecting the
anonymous SVN access for other projects like BioPerl.

One short term solution would be to give my OBF username peterc
access to the master Emboss CVS repository on dev.open-bio.org
(joke), or look into an external mirror - for example BioPerl are using
github (and seriously talking about moving from SVN to git). This is
going even more off topic but since ViewCVS broke a while back, I've
found it much harder to browse the Emboss source code :(
