Would it be possible to have a transition period of 1 or 2 months for |
| 18 |
the svn repo move? The main problem for me is that Prefix users are on |
| 19 |
a Portage tree from overlays (in SVN), which means if this switch is |
| 20 |
done without transition they cannot update (emerge --sync) any more. |
| 21 |
While this will result in some mail/bug activity, it might also leave |
| 22 |
other people in the dark, ending up (needlessly) rebootstrapping. |

|

If a transition period would be available, I could make Portage |
| 25 |
alarm users to fix the SYNC variable to reflect the new URL. I also |
| 26 |
need to add/fix/change Portage's support for this new URL scheme. |
