+ <title>Ports CVS End of Life on February 28th 2013</title>
+
+ <p>The development of &os; ports is done in Subversion
+ nowadays. By February 28th 2013, the &os; ports tree will
+ no longer be exported to CVS. Therefore ports tree updates
+ via CVS, CVSup or csup(1) will no longer be available after
+ that date. All users who use CVS, CVSup or csup(1) to
+ update the ports tree are encouraged to switch to
+ portsnap(8) or for users which need more control over their
+ ports collection checkout, use Subversion directly. More
+ information are available in the announcement mail on the <a
+ href="&lists.ports-announce;/2012-September/000026.html">&os; ports announce mailing list</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>A migration guide from CVSup or csup(1) to portsnap(8) is
+ also available in <a
+ href="&url.doc.base-en;/books/handbook/ports-using.html#cvsup-migration">the &os; Handbook</a>.</p>
