--nextPart2381874.YdjIWpNdGt Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Folks.. On May 21st, while trying to tidy up loose ends over the expiration of=20= RELENG_8_3, I discovered that the exporter was corrupted again. I glanced back at the previously published milestones for the EOL of th= e cvsup=20 export process and they're *all* behind us. We said it would continue on a "best effort basis until 9.0-RELEASE, 8.= 3- RELEASE, 7.4-RELEASE are no longer supported". These are all expired. When I discovered that the exporter staging areas were damaged, I added= the=20 usual markers to the cvs files and let them be distributed. Nobody sai= d=20 anything that I'm aware of. Therefore, I am intending to not fix it. While it could be fixed (agai= n), I=20 feel it is time to put it to rest. The temporary transition aid lasted= 5=20 years longer than I imagined. I'll post a -announce message shortly. I archived the last changes to = the=20 exporter on ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVS-archive (they'= ll be=20 visible soon), and will be disconnecting the machinery by May 31st. We provide daily updates for source and ports tarballs for every branch= on=20 ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/development/tarballs/ so there's a way in = from=20 the cold for even ancient branches. On a related note: reminder: if you are mirroring www.freebsd.org via = cvsup,=20 please stop. See the instructions in the mail I sent a few days ago ab= out how=20 to obtain it via rsync. =2D-=20 Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI= 6FJV UTF-8: for when a ' just won\342\200\231t do. --nextPart2381874.YdjIWpNdGt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
