  There have been several recent changes to the way the
 various xen projects have been managed, and now it is time
 to explicitly describe and document them.

  * The CVS repositories have been removed, and replaced
    with mercurial ones.  (With no loss of history.)

  * The *-commit mailing lists have been moved to a new host.
    (With no loss of history.)

  * The user mailing list will shortly be renamed and moved too.
    (With no loss of history.)


  If you do nothing you will be removed from all current mailing
 lists - which is probably the safest thing I can do.  I don't want
 to force people to migrate and receive messages unless they wish to.



CVS "Upgrade"
-------------

  The CVS repository has been removed and all future work
 is going to be conducted via Mercurial.

  There are now live repositories at the following links:

     http://rinse.repository.steve.org.uk/
     http://xen-shell.repository.steve.org.uk/
     http://xen-tools.repository.steve.org.uk/

  These repositories contain all previous history, in addition
 to ongoing changes.

  To checkout the rinse repository, for example, just run the
 following:

     hg clone http://rinse.repository.steve.org.uk/




Commit Lists
------------

  Since the repository is moved away from the previous domain
 the lists have been moved to match.

  Rather than:

    foo-commits at lists.cvsrepository.org

  Each project now has a mailing list setup as:

    foo-commits at repository.steve.org.uk

  Re-Subscribe if you care about tracking commit notice, or
 use the RSS feed(s) upon the repository directly.

  Instructions on subscribing/unsubscribing may be found here:

    http://repository.steve.org.uk/lists/


User Mailing List
-----------------

  Previously there was a mailing list accessed at:

     xen-tools at lists.cvsrepository.org

  That list will be moved to:

     xen-tools-discuss at xen-tools.org

  If you wish to follow development please subscribe there,
 following the instructions here:

     http://xen-tools.org/lists/


Timeframe
---------

  The lists.cvsrepository.org domain will disappear from
 DNS in the next five days..
