Ragge who was doing it.
Don't know the status of the PCC-Revived project, but Anders Magnusson
<ragge(a)tethuvudet.se> is still active now and again on the NetBSD/VAX
mailing list.
In recent (March 26) private email Anders told me that indeed the CVS
repository went unreachable because the machine it was hosted on was
shut down.
He said he has a plan to move it to
https://github.com/PortableCC and
that there are some pending fixes for it but that he hasn't had time to
make the move yet.
I asked him about the Git import at
https://github.com/didickman/pcc and
he said that looks like a good version to reference for now. That
repository seems to me to be a faithful conversion of the original CVS
repository. It has a DATESTAMP of 20230830 (which is ~7.5 years ahead
of the version that was imported into, and is still in, the NetBSD
source tree).
