Quite. I had forgotten that all of the *-cvs or *-svn modules are
in zbeta for a reason. They are all *under development* and each
new commit at the module-developers' end might break on your box.
Anyone using a *-cvs or *-svn module is doing so at their own risk,
and should probably be monitoring the module's mailing lists too.

I fell foul of this when the madwifi devs switched from cvs to
svn but I continued to try to download the old madwifi-cvs module
from a dead cvs repository for almost a year :-(

Lucky for me that Moe was on the ball and spotted it :-)
