[U-Boot-Users] EOL Notification: End of CVS support.

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi everybody.

I'm finally completely fed up with the poor quality  of  support  and
services  on  SourceForge. Ummm.. sorry, no, that's not poor quality.
There is absolutely no quality at all.

For more than 5 weeks they haven't been able to get CVS working
again. At
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1
you get this information:

	Project CVS Service:
	Partial Outage In-Progress
	Last updated: 2006-03-30 Pacific

The "In-Progress" obviously means that the outage is progressing.


I hereby declare the end of life for the CVS repository of U-Boot.
Please use the git repository at
http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git instead.


For those who cannot live without CVS, set up a TEMPORARY (!)
repository at www.denx.de, see for example
http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb/u-boot/


But please note: use of CVS is officially  deprecated;  this  service
may go away sooner or later.


Summary:

1) The CVS repository at Source Forge is no longer maintained.
   Don't use it any more!

2) The use of CVS in general is deprecated. Use git instead.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Wolfgang:

Is there a U-Boot git check-in mailing list?  I watch the cvs mailing 
list, and would like to have the
same for u-boot git if possible.

Thank you!

No, there is no such thing. (not yet?)

Maybe http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=rss
is an option? [Sorry, never tried this myself yet.]

Yes, I just added the RSS feed to my Thunderbird email/news client and 
it works very nicely.

Any chance it could be made available via the git:// protocol?  Using
git over http is... sub-optimal.

Hi Stefan, Wolfgang,

It appears that the unwashed masses (me, that is) are not able to edit 
the GIT documentation page
   <http://www.denx.de/en/Documents/GitDocs>

I was going to add pointers to the kernel.org git information that, I 
believe, is "fresher" than the current contents of the GitDocs page.

    * 
[[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto-index.html][GIT 
Howto Index]]
    * 
[[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html][A 
git core tutorial for developers]]
    * 
[[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html][Everyday 
GIT With 20 Commands Or So]]
    * [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/][git(7) Manual 
Page]]

(the last one is probably superfluous, but helpful for people that don't 
actually have git installed yet).

Best regards,
gvb

Ummm... but it is...

Ah, I hadn't seen that.  Ok, thanks for pointing that out.  Sorry for the noise.
