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 &os; ports + announce mailing list.

+ +

A migration guide from CVSup or csup(1) to portsnap(8) is + also available in the + &os; Handbook.

&os; celebrated its 20th - birthday today. On June 19, 1993, Jordan Hubbard, - Rod Grimes, and David Greenman announced to the world the - creation of their new fork of the BSD 4.3 operating - system.

- -

&os; was derived from the 386BSD 0.1 release from Bill - and Lynne Jolitz with its 1.0 release in Nov 1993. Its - stated goals were to create a fast, stable, reliable - server OS for i386 systems.

- -

Since then, it has become the backbone of countless - products and has grown to supporting 64bit computing, - embedded devices, and desktop users.
