ANNOUNCE: Python CVS tree moved to SourceForge
I'm happy to announce that we've moved the Python CVS tree to SourceForge. SourceForge (www.sourceforge.net) is a free service to Open Source developers run by VA Linux. The change has two advantages for us: (1) we no longer have to deal with the mirrorring of our writable CVS repository to the read-only mirror ar cvs.python.org (which will soon be decommissioned); (2) we will be able to add new developers with checkin privileges. In addition, we benefit from the high visibility and availability of SourceForge. Instructions on how to access the Python SourceForge tree are here: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470 If you have an existing working tree that points to the cvs.python.org repository, you may want to retarget it to the SourceForge tree. This can be done painlessly with Greg Ward's cvs_chroot script: http://starship.python.net/~gward/python/ The email notification to python-checkins@python.org still works (although during the transition a few checkin messages may have been lots). While I've got your attention, please remember that the proper procedures to submit patches is described here: http://www.python.org/patches/ We've accumulated quite the backlog of patches to be processed during the transition; we'll start working on these ASAP. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
