Hi all, Some time in the next 24 hours I expect to be switching the portsnap build from its current code, which gets bits from CVS, to a completely-rewritten codebase which gets bits from SVN.
This is made necessary by the fact that the ports svn2cvs exporter is going away at the end of the month, but will also make possible useful things like distributing a portsnap snapshot on release ISOs, signing key rotation, and faster builds via increased parallelization (portsnap builds now run on a box with 16 CPUs, but most of the code was written for a single-CPU system). I'm doing my best to test everything, but I can't completely rule out the possibility that I'll break something -- so if you see anything odd happen with portsnap in the next few days, please let me know ASAP (via email to cperc...@freebsd.org or twitter @cperciva). -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
