Voila,
the FreeType server switch is now completed, and you must
have received an e-mail informing you of your new Mailman
accounts.
I invite you to have a look at the following page:
http://www.freetype.org/mailman/listinfo
You'll notice that:
- we now have online (web) archives of the "freetype" and "devel"
mailing lists. At last :)
- there is a new list named "address@hidden", that will be
used for announcements (like new releases, new project milestones,
etc..).
- given that Mailman provides some spam protection on its own,
I've raised the "member-posting-only" restriction. You don't need
to be a subscriber to post a message to the list or to view the
archives
- similarly, the subscribers list is currently publicly available,
let me know if this is a problem and I'll reset the restriction
to "member-only".
Let me know of any problems..
Regards,
- David
PS: For a more technical description of the change that occured:
* what has changed:
- the old server is still acessible as "cvs.freetype.org", and as
this name suggests, still handles the CVS repository, as well
as backup web + ftp services..
- the web pages have been modified to point to the old server for
the viewCVS script. This means that this link will also work on
the SourceForge mirror..
* what hasn't changed:
- the directory hierarchy of the ftp service hasn't changed.
the rsync service hasn't changed, which means that mirrors
should have no problems due to the transition.
- the web pages are still stored in a CVS repository, and can be
updated automatically on all servers by sending an e-mail to
"address@hidden"
- every change in a CVS repository is logged and sent to the
"address@hidden" mailing list. the latter is not archived
given that we have a commit log on the CVS server too..
- the content of the ftp servers is updated automatically by a
cron script every night at 20:00 GMT
- we need to update the web pages for the 2.0 release _today_ :-)
as well as to indicate the new mailing list manager
