This is also relevant for all translators that have CVS access; please read the below if you haven't seen it already.
Christian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ross Golder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Feb 11, 2006 10:04 AM Subject: Subversion migration schedule (cut-off Fri 18 Mar) To: devel-announce-list@gnome.org, gnome-announce-list@gnome.org Hi guys, I'm sure it will all come as a bit of a shock to some of you, but CVS will shortly be reaching retirement age. He has agreed to stay on until after the 2.14.0 final release, but will shortly afterwards be heading into retirement to enjoy his gold watch and lump sum. I am sure all of you that have worked with him since the project began will (cough) dearly miss working with him (cough), and will join me in thanking him for his many years good service to our community. And so, for those of you wondering who you will soon be reporting your changes to, I'd like to introduce Subversion, whom I have been training personally over the last few months as a replacement. Many of us will have worked with Subversion before on other projects, but for those of you that haven't, I can assure you he is a pleasure to work with, particularly if you don't have much bandwidth or often hack offline. So... The cut-off date for CVS write access will be Friday 18th March 2006 at 23:59UTC. No more CVS commits after that point. CVS read access will remain available via anonymous pserver for another month, although will *not* contain any live updates that are applied to Subversion. The most recent test migration took 3 days and 3 hours to convert every single GNOME module from CVS to Subversion. However, as soon as a module has been migrated, it will be available for read and write access via Subversion. So, I am hoping to run the migration in such an order that the more active/important modules are migrated first, and will be available within the first few hours of the migration. Any advice on a strategy for preparing the module list in such an activity/importance order would be appreciated (via gnome-infrastructure@gnome.org, pls). Maybe I could start taking requests, like a radio DJ? :) Anyway, I have attempted to fill in as much detail and answer as many other questions as possible here: http://live.gnome.org/Subversion If I've missed anything, or anyone can see any showstopper problems, or they don't like the proposed cut-off date (or my shoes), please use the wiki, or let us know via gnome-infrastructure@gnome.org and we'll see what we can do. Thanks, and get back to work. -- Ross -- devel-announce-list mailing list devel-announce-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce-list _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
