Freshmeat is a very bad way to find out whether a project is active or not.
You should rather look at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/viewcvs/viewcvs/
which shows changes just a few hours ago.
I think viewcvs is being more actively developed than cvsweb. viewcvs makes
also a better job handling unexpected errors, while cvsweb seems more
vulnerable to them. That's why viewcvs is said to be safer than cvsweb;
viewcvs is also easier to configure. For those two reasons we decided to
migrate from cvsweb to viewcvs in Savannah a couple of years ago. But I must
say that I've not followed the evolution of cvsweb in the last two years and I
cannot say if those reasons are still valid.
