Thread: Fate of the old cvs repository
So, it seems we're pretty firmly on git now, and I doubt we're ever going to shift back now :) That means I'd like to get the two CVS VMs shut down (that's cvs.postgresql.org and anoncvs.postgresql.org), so we don't have to attempt to maintain them... What should we do with the official old cvs repository when we do this? Just create a .tar.gz and drop it on the ftp site? (I assume most committers already have such a copy of the repository, but there should probably be an official one for the project?) Anything else? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Anything else? +1 for dropping a tarball on the FTP mirrors. That way it's distributed and hard to lose. :) Cheers, David. -- David Fetter <david@fetter.org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david.fetter@gmail.com iCal: webcal://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/people/david74/tripit.ics Remember to vote!

Anything else? Sounds good to me, for archival purposes. "Maybe" put a link on the wiki for historical purposes.

It will show up in /pub/dev/archive/ on the ftp mirrors as soon as they've replicated. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
