The following is a list of mirrors of SCM repositories that I try
to maintain seriously for anyone that is interested.
The primary purpose is to provide distributed VCS versions of
CVS repositories, for people who would like to avoid certain
issues with CVS (e.g., faster updates and easier maintenance of
private branches).
Because conversions between SCM systems is not always free of
issues, kinks may happen. If you wish to be notified of
"significant events" pertaining to these that might affect their
use, either check this page for updates or
contact
me.

-
Removed references to the deprecated non-maintained pkgsrc mirrors.

-
Added hg mirror of portsnap.

- So even the pkgsrc-wip mirror is experiencing
difficulties. I am officially dropping any attempts to
undestroy the history destroyed by CVS.
- That said, I have a git mirror of a portsnap tree up
now (see below). This is not a conversion of the CVS
repository, but rather an incrementally updated git tracked
tree based on portsnap fetch/update cycles.

- The pkgsrc mirror is unfortunately stalled until I get the new conversion working. The old conversion
broke as a result of compatibility issues with newer mercurial.
- 2008-05-28
- Added pkgsrc-wip mirror, maintained with fromcvs.
- Initiated from-scratch conversion of pkgsrc using fromcvs, to replace the existing mirror that was being maintained
with cvs20hg. Some discrepancies have crept in over time. Current pkgsrc repository will soon be replaced; users
will have to re-clone from scratch. In the mean time, the pkgsrc repository is not being updated due to a compatibility
issue between cvs20hg and newer Mercurial.
Repositories
- FreeBSD ports via portsnap
