[U-Boot-Users] EOL Notification: End of CVS support.
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1) The CVS repository at Source Forge is no longer maintained.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%5D%5BGIT Howto Index]] * [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html%5D%5BA git core tutorial for developers]] * [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html%5D%5BEveryday GIT With 20 Commands Or So]] * [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/%5D%5Bgit(7) Manual Page]]
(the last one is probably superfluous, but helpful for people that don't actually have git installed yet).
Best regards, gvb

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