Marc, thank you very much for the link to the announcement, and the = pointer to Google Drive, I forgot that detail.

V=E1clav and Kevin, thank you very much for sharing your ideas, I = appreciated it, even if finally decided to follow the Google Drive path. = I opted against (partially) moving to another project hoster, because = this seemed to be too involved to me. I like very much the ease of use = of the SVN-Web-implementation on Google Code, and switching to GIT is = not an option at all for me. I created already the snapshot of the new release, put the distfile to = the public clone - Google Drive, modified/tested the ports Makefile and = distinfo, and submitted an update request to FreeBSD ports. I hope, that this is acceptable. Many thanks again to everybody who responded. Best regards Rolf
