We can't run cvs commands at work. We are behind a proxy and according to some standards imposed by an audit company (bla bla bla bla) we are not allowed to even get a watched tunnel. There is also no way to get a snapshot from sourceforge site without using cvs.
Ummm... that argument is just void.
First, CVS is dead and only kept working for a limited time. Please use GIT instead. GIT inherently supports HTTP transfers so I guess you should be able to access the GIT repository just fine.
Second, the documentation clearly explains how to use the cvsgrab tool (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootVersions) to tunnel CVS through HTTP protocol; again, this should work fine even for you behind your restrictive firewall.
Third, you should be in a position to explain your network admins that their role is to enable you to get some work done, not to block you. They are servants of your company, not Gods.
I am also asking myself, if there aren't many changes between 1.1.4 and top of tree, maybe you should consider these patches anyway.
You will need to use GIT anyway to get access to the testing-NAND branch. Any patches against the current NAND code will just be lost when we merge that branch back into the trunk.
