Hello list!
So finally i made it and my vserver sdaoden.eu is up and running,
via Linux. The first time since Debian Woody that i actually
really dived into Linux on bare metal, and it changed a lot.
And the very first time that i setup an exposed server myself.
The good - and bad - news is thus that i can restart my rather
beloved programming work tomorrow, which it seems i didn't want
to withold. New envisaged v14.9 release May 1st.
"Upstream" git is now served by
{http,https}://git.sdaoden.eu/cgit{,/s-nail.git}.
There is a commit mailing-list that triggers for [master] commits
[email protected]
and one that will be used for all announcements that i have to do
(also including server outages, S-roff and S-CText, whatever) and
isexpected to be super-low-volume:
[email protected]
These no-digest, no-post MLs should be functional already.
The above already points into the future direction, i will rename
S-nail to S-mailx shall i ever reach v15. However, already in
v14.9 i want to place all the necessary transition messages in the
manual, the README etc., and i also want to move the ML away from
Sourceforge.net to [email protected]. Thankfully Sourceforge.net
support MBOX exporting, so we won't loose a message. I haven't
asked yet, but i hope it is possible that Gmane simply subscribes
to that one, and i will do a mass subscribtion for all the
s-nail-users@ subscribers at the transition date (v14.9 release).
I have not yet decided how to deliver the tarballs -- in v15 the
git repo will have been reworked, and there will be a [release]
branch that replaces [timeline], with release-ready content, just
like the balls have. I.e., it is likely that anything will be
served through cgit effectively, maybe via /download rewriting,
though. Like that only the signatures have to be stored in file
form.
It is a little bit weird to leave Sourceforge.net, and like that.
Back around Y2000 i looked forward to free software development
and free hosting on Sourceforge.net after some articles in german
computer magazines, when i had the time to actually get going on
something real i really was so happy with git that i went to
Github first. Even today there seems to be no other free host
with all the environment, notably MLs are missing from most. Not
Sourceforge.net. Unfortunately anything is a business these days.
I'm looking forward for mail messages without two advertisments.
Nonetheless a big thank you, Sourceforge, for the past, the
presence, and also the future, though only as a secondary mirror,
then.
Have fun, and happy hacking.
Ciao!
