The cvs-all list is marked as obsolete and has the corresponding header: "**OBSOLETE** subscribe to svn-src-all and the individual cvs-ports/etc lists instead! This list will go away in on or after 14th october, 2008." As several people reported that they get the commit mails twice (from cvs-all@ and one of the svn lists) and the list was marked as obsolete I decided to stop the mailer from CVS. Beat
