Folks..

On May 21st, while trying to tidy up loose ends over the expiration of=20=

RELENG_8_3, I discovered that the exporter was corrupted again.

I glanced back at the previously published milestones for the EOL of th=
e cvsup=20
export process and they're *all* behind us.

We said it would continue on a "best effort basis until 9.0-RELEASE, 8.=
3-
RELEASE, 7.4-RELEASE are no longer supported".  These are all expired.

When I discovered that the exporter staging areas were damaged, I added=
 the=20
usual markers to the cvs files and let them be distributed.  Nobody sai=
d=20
anything that I'm aware of.

Therefore, I am intending to not fix it.  While it could be fixed (agai=
n), I=20
feel it is time to put it to rest.  The temporary transition aid lasted=
 5=20
years longer than I imagined.

I'll post a -announce message shortly.  I archived the last changes to =
the=20
exporter on ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVS-archive (they'=
ll be=20
visible soon), and will be disconnecting the machinery by May 31st.

We provide daily updates for source and ports tarballs for every branch=
 on=20
ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/development/tarballs/ so there's a way in =
from=20
the cold for even ancient branches.



On a related note:  reminder: if you are mirroring www.freebsd.org via =
cvsup,=20
please stop.  See the instructions in the mail I sent a few days ago ab=
out how=20
to obtain it via rsync.
