Looking at the src-4 tree, there is still some activity and this probably won't cease immediately. > (It is actually very little=20 >effort for me to keep it going, In which case, I'd suggest leaving it going for 3-6 months and then reviewing the situation. If there's no longer any activity, then it can be shutdown. For anyone who needs 4.x, cvs-cur is always an alternative: Replicate the CVS repository and check out your own 4.x tree. Whilst this does cost an extra ~3.5GB disk space, it's much easier to manage your own local patches and you have ready access to more recent versions of the source if you want/need to backport changes. --=20 Peter Jeremy --vEao7xgI/oilGqZ+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFxQBV/opHv/APuIcRAsDMAJ47NLBRYs52LW0jqR2r3uBIUH+ghQCfQ0nK y/62+CeqJJ3WnOIexPgxbno= =bnbW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vEao7xgI/oilGqZ+--
