CVS is a development tool and the version in FreeBSD base was intended for FreeBSD development. People using CVS for other purposes are unlikely to be best served by using an unmaintained and modified variant of an obsolete version of CVS. As for the schedule, as has been repeatedly stated, this change will only affect 10.x and later. If this proposal goes ahead, the first FreeBSD release to not have CVS in the base will be 10.0-RELEASE - which (IMHO) is unlikely to appear for another year. And 9.x will continue to include CVS in the base and should be supported for at least 2 years after 10.0-RELEASE comes out. Thus, anyone currently relying on the base CVS has at least 3 years to plan their transition. --=20 Peter Jeremy --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlBSgxEACgkQ/opHv/APuIcuyQCcCU2xs4XLQdDOoBJ5y46DfFbf nX8AnizfVDIJjzlZj9HoyiRGxleW96ZH =Dxpf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z--
