Sounds fine to me except #3 - I don't understand it (and I probably some users will too). Can you explain it please?

Basically, if you had to allow certain ports access to the net through a firewall. rsync uses different ports than cvsup/csup, so anyone with firewall rules to allow ABS to connect will have to change the port in those rules

I wouldn't mention that at all. Just mention it now uses rsync, whoever filters outbound traffic will know exactly what to do.

That's also what I was thinking. It already mentions that rsync is used, but I would insist on it, for example, by changing 1) to something like: 1) cvsup/csup are no longer required, rsync is used instead Then 3) can be removed. But otherwise, eliott's version of 3) is much clearer.

Oh, and revised draft: -----------8<-----------------8<-------- ABS 2.0 In Testing With version 2, ABS has moved to an rsync method for pulling the ABS tree, as part of the changes that needed to be made for our internal move from CVS to SVN as our source control mechanism. This means a few things: 1) cvsup/csup are no longer required, rsync is used instead 2) Configuration moved from /etc/abs/abs.conf to /etc/abs.conf - /etc/abs/* are no longer required Also, since category information (ie. base, devel, editors) is no longer stored in the repo, makeworld has been updated - check makeworld -h for more info. -----------8<-----------------8<-------- - had more votes for removal of #3 (filtering outbound traffic) than for inclusion, so it's toast.

Looks great. Get it out there. -Dan

For the record, I think announcing the SVN move is a tad silly. People don't care how we manage our repos, and if they do, they're probably watching this list anyway.
