Hi All eCosCentric have been providing snapshots of the CVS repository for well over 6 years now as a convenient method for users to download the current revision of eCos, rather than to have to do battle with their sysadmins to break through their firewall.
As we are moving away from CVS, and since the current Mercurial (hg) repository at http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ provides full exported downloads of the current version of eCos in a variety of formats, including the ability to download eCos upto *any* given changeset (the default being the tip), there seems little point in continuing to make CVS snapshots available. All users currently using snapshots and downloading on a regular basis are therefore stongly encouraged to switch their download URLs now to: http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ecos/archive/tip.tar.bz2 eCosCentric intend to continue to provide their hg service, regardless of the DRCS finally selected by the eCos maintainers, since I suspect even if hg were chosen a UK-based mirror would not be unwelcome. After all, you can very easily pull changesets from one hg (or any other DRCS) source and push to another ;-) The CVS snapshots service will therefore be terminated from 1 December 2009, after which users will be redirected to the hg tip download via http. The ftp CVS snapshot download service will however be terminated from 1 December 2009.
