Hi folks,
As some of you may be aware, Sourceforge has suffered from a directed
attack on their services. In the process, they have shutdown a number
of services to prevent further damage, and one of these services was
CVS.
More information can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-attack-full-report/
All development for Barry is done on my own personal machine. My only
use of CVS is as a push location for the results of my coding, as a
convenience for those that still prefer CVS to git.
How many people are still using CVS? Is it worth it to continue this?
CVS source repositories are not as secure as git repo's. With git,
all the commits are linked together in a secure SHA1 hash chain, and
so all data can be verified. When I sign the git tags, this makes it
verifiable with GPG. None of this is possible with CVS.
Indeed, according to the link above, Sourceforge may be removing CVS
completely.
I'm tempted to disable Sourceforge's CVS tree early, and just continue with
our git repos, which are on both Sourceforge and repo.or.cz, and are
regularly updated with my latest changes. They are identical.
I strongly encourage using git to access Barry sources.
Please let me know if CVS is still important to you.
Thanks,
- Chris
