If you want, sure.

% env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d address@hidden:/cvs get -p \
    src/etc/ssl.certs.shar >ssl.certs.shar

The password for that server is “anoncvs”, but if you send me an SSHv2 public
key, I can have it added to its authorised_keys file by the anoncvs mirror's
administrator, so that you can really script that.

Other method:

% rsync rsync://rsync.allbsd.org/miros-cvs/src/etc/ssl.certs.shar,v .
% co -u ssl.certs.shar,v

On the other hand, this server is SLOW, they don't often react to mails if
we change something, and co(1) does not correctly expand the $MirOS$ RCS
keyword ;-)

Take one of these. I just tested that both work. (allbsd.org is in Japan.)
You can, of course, do that and still link to CVSweb (as fallback).
