[FreeType Server] Updates & Future |

Hello,
Sorry for being silent these last weeks. I had serious problems
with my e-mail setup and couldn't send anything until now..
I have made a few updates to the FreeType server yesterday,
basically:
- "www-update-cvs" now correctly updates the Web pages on
the SourceForge server
- the hardware clock has been reset, which should eliminate quite a few
problems with CVS and make (it previously advanced by about 8 hours)
- ViewCVS was upgraded to version 0.6 (fixes some problems with
colored diffs)
Moreover, some of you already know that I'm involved, as a founder, with a
new software company, whose name will remain unknown for the moment :-)
For various technical reasons, we didn't consider moving the main FreeType
site to our main server until recently, which explains why I originally
planned to move the site entirely to SourceForge.
Things are much better with our setup now, and we think it'd be a good
idea to move the site to the company's server now.
My "old" company will still exist (as well as the current server), but at
least won't be forced to pay the extra charges corresponding to the
bandwidth required by the FreeType site, its needs being much more modest..
Of course, we'll continue to use sourceforge as a US web + FTP mirror,
plus all other tools available there. The transitition should happen
in the following weeks and should be transparent to users, except for
the mailing list manager which will be changed to mailman..
The current server will be kept for backup-archival purposes, probably
under a name like "www2.freetype.org", or something similar..
Voila, any comments are welcomed, as usual..
- David
