The sneaky part is, that publication in newspaper is
probably cheaper than a lawyer office. In Denmark we have a
free-ads newspaper (Den BlÄ Avis) that could be used.
The file with all MD5SUMs could just be available at
Savannah. That way I will not have to supply High-Availability.
To see if I can afford providing this service I will need to
know:
* Amount of disk space
* Number of files
* Growth rate
Output from 'du' and 'find' can be mailed (bzippped) to
address@hidden
Also: How do I compute the MD5SUMs of every version of the a
given file?

This is indeed an interesting approach. The nice part is
that it can be done by any third party since the CVS trees
are available via rsync. Someone can mirror all the CVS
trees, compute and publish the MD5SUM as you suggested.
Publication in a newspaper may not be necessary: a big list
can be deposited together with the matching CVS version
numbers at a lawyer office (in France, a notary can do that
for a reasonable price).
Would you be willing to provide this service ? It could be
done every month or every six months.
