It's in Debian's unstable distribution. So if you are running Linux on
an s390, you can have it on a supercomputer :)

To address your "read-only copy to peruse" and the super computer issue,
note that a webdav exported repository is easily checked out (without
all the wc files) using wget. Do the super computers have wget? I bet
the users with limited disk space have the command available.

I recall a perl script that used wget script to retain a read-only
version of repo, even kept it in sync.
