Trying to check out CVS: and am getting

cvs checkout: [08:31:45] waiting for david_abrahams's lock in /cvsroot/boost/boost/tools/build/v2/test/dependency-test/src1

For more than half an hour. How long to these take to expire?

They never expire AFAIK. You should submit a support request to the SourceForge administrators asking them to manually clear the lock. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
