All the CVS-based services should still be working, and it is probably best to continue to use those for now. It is still possible that we'll hit some unexpected cases in subversion, and find that we have to switch right back to CVS. Not that I expect to switch back to CVS, but the change to subversion was *JUST* done, and there's still a few rough edges which are not finished yet. Give the people working on this a few more weeks to sort out the details and make sure everything is working OK. There is some sketchy documentation of what has happened, it is not good enough to be much help to end-users. I will make the guess that more useful information to be available by the end of June. Please realize that a LOT of work was involved in making this switch (none of which was done by me... ahem). So we don't mean to dismiss your request or your interest, but we're just not ready with all the answers that you would like to see. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
