As we are moving away from CVS, and since the current Mercurial (hg) repository at http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ provides full exported downloads of the current version of eCos in a variety of formats, including the ability to download eCos upto *any* given changeset (the default being the tip), there seems little point in continuing to make CVS snapshots available. All users currently using snapshots and downloading on a regular basis are therefore stongly encouraged to switch their download URLs now to: http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ecos/archive/tip.tar.bz2 eCosCentric intend to continue to provide their hg service, regardless of the DRCS finally selected by the eCos maintainers, since I suspect even if hg were chosen a UK-based mirror would not be unwelcome. After all, you can very easily pull changesets from one hg (or any other DRCS) source and push to another ;-) The CVS snapshots service will therefore be terminated from 1 December 2009, after which users will be redirected to the hg tip download via http. The ftp CVS snapshot download service will however be terminated from 1 December 2009. Sincerely, -- Alex Schuilenburg Managing Director/CEO eCosCentric Limited www.ecoscentric.com
