As part of the upcoming change to no longer distribute ChangeLogs in the |
2 |
main tree, Infra would like to announce some updates to the rsync |
3 |
modules. |

|

1. |
6 |
The following legacy modules are hereby discontinued. |
7 |
- rsync.gentoo.org::gentoo-sec |
8 |
- rsync.gentoo.org::gentoo-x86-portage |
9 |
|
10 |
'gentoo-sec' was a 2004-era attempt at distributing Gentoo developer |
11 |
GPG keyrings. There have been no sync attempts recorded on any of the |
12 |
rsync.gentoo.org nodes in over 2 years, and the material therein all |
13 |
dates to 2004 only. |
14 |
|
15 |
'gentoo-x86-portage' was the older name of the 'gentoo-portage' module, |
16 |
and was maintained as an alias. For the 2016 calender year to date, |
17 |
there have been only 11 attempts to fetch the legacy name from any of |
18 |
the rsync.gentoo.org official nodes. |
19 |
|
20 |
Community mirrors (rsyncN.CC.gentoo.org) are encouraged to drop the old |
21 |
modules at their convenience. |
22 |
|
23 |
2. |
24 |
Approximately 2016/Nov/01, a new module will be available: |
25 |
- rsync.gentoo.org::gentoo-repo-changelog |
26 |
This module will contain the same directory structure as the repo/gentoo |
27 |
tree (gentoo-portage module), but will ONLY contain ChangeLog files. |
28 |
The update schedule may have gaps exceeding 6 hours initially. |
29 |
|
30 |
Community mirrors (rsyncN.CC.gentoo.org) can prepare to mirror the new |
31 |
module at their convenience. |
32 |
|
33 |
3. |
34 |
Not sooner than 2016/Nov/15, ChangeLogs will be removed from the |
35 |
'gentoo-portage' rsync module. They may or may not still be referenced |
36 |
by the thick Manifests. |
