Greetings project admin,
We have been planning to discontinue CVS support here at SourceForge for
several years now, and that time has finally arrived. Since your project
is making use of CVS for your source version control, you should now
convert your repository over to another version control system.
The current plan is to stop allowing CVS commits by November 30th. To be
able to continue making source code changes you’ll need to have your CVS
repo converted by then. The ssh access method will stop working, but
read-only access via both pserver, rsync, and interactive shell will
continue to be available past the cutoff date (we haven’t determined if
or when the read-only support will end). This means that you will have
plenty of time to convert your data to a new SCM format, even well past
the cutoff date.
If you don’t have a particular SCM choice in mind, we recommend choosing
Subversion (SVN) since it has a workflow that is most similar to that of
CVS. You might also want to choose Git, which is very popular these
days, though it does have a steeper learning curve compared to switching
to Subversion. You can even give each one a try and keep the one you
like best. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
For information on how to convert your repository from CVS to SVN or
Git, visit the following web page:
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/CVS/
The page also documents the rsync backup method.
We hope that your conversion goes smoothly. You can let us know if you
run into any issues by replying to this email.
Sincerely,
SourceForge Support
