[ruby-talk:02928] FYI: What our Python friends are up to.

Hi,

This is probably a borderline case, but I think it would be useful to
occasionally post news of Perl and Python (and sometimes maybe even Lisp,
Java, and Smalltalk) developments that might be of interest to Ruby fans.

From: Guido van Rossum
Subject: [PSA MEMBERS ANNOUNCE] ANNOUNCE: Python CVS tree moved to
SourceForge

> I'm happy to announce that we've moved the Python CVS tree to
> SourceForge.  SourceForge (www.sourceforge.net) is a free service to
> Open Source developers run by VA Linux.
>
> The change has two advantages for us: (1) we no longer have to deal
> with the mirrorring of our writable CVS repository to the read-only
> mirror ar cvs.python.org (which will soon be decommissioned); (2) we
> will be able to add new developers with checkin privileges.  In
> addition, we benefit from the high visibility and availability of
> SourceForge.
>
> Instructions on how to access the Python SourceForge tree are here:
>
>   http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5470
>
> If you have an existing working tree that points to the cvs.python.org
> repository, you may want to retarget it to the SourceForge tree.  This
> can be done painlessly with Greg Ward's cvs_chroot script:
>
>   http://starship.python.net/~gward/python/
>
> The email notification to [e-mail] still works
> (although during the transition a few checkin messages may have been
> lots).
>
> While I've got your attention, please remember that the proper
> procedures to submit patches is described here:
>
>   http://www.python.org/patches/
>
> We've accumulated quite the backlog of patches to be processed during
> the transition; we'll start working on these ASAP.
