Would it be possible to have a transition period of 1 or 2 months for the svn repo move? The main problem for me is that Prefix users are on a Portage tree from overlays (in SVN), which means if this switch is done without transition they cannot update (emerge --sync) any more. While this will result in some mail/bug activity, it might also leave other people in the dark, ending up (needlessly) rebootstrapping. If a transition period would be available, I could make Portage alarm users to fix the SYNC variable to reflect the new URL. I also need to add/fix/change Portage's support for this new URL scheme. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
