1 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.
4
5 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.
