Ubuntu's Launchpad Deprecating Code Imports From CVS & Subversion

([Ubuntu] 3 Hours Ago CVS + SVN Code Imports)


Canonical's Launchpad service that is closely aligned with the Ubuntu project is finally deprecating code imports from CVS and Subversion repositories that go through the defunct Bazaar.

Launchpad's code import functionality for automatically mirroring code from external version control systems into Launchpad is going to be retiring its CVS and Subversion import support. The main path being deprecated is the Subversion to Bazaar support. This aligns with Launchpad [1]phasing out its Bazaar code hosting support .

After next week no new import configurations for the Subversion and CVS imports will be accepted. Then on 1 October all existing CVS to Bazaar and SVN to Bazaar imports will be shutdown.

Canonical encourages users to migrate source repositories to Git or re-configuring your Launchpad project to using Git-based importing.

More details for those interested via [2]Ubuntu Discourse .

Humorix Holiday Gift Idea #3

iTux Penguin Computer
Price: $999.95 for base model
Producer: Orange Computer, Co.; 1-800-GET-ITUX

Based on the Slashdot comments, response to the Apple iMac from the Linux
community was lukewarm at best. Orange Computer, Co., has picked up where
Apple left behind and produced the iTux computer specifically for Linux users
who want to "Think a lot different".

The self-contained iTux computer system is built in the shape of Tux the
Penguin. Its 15 inch monitor (17 inch available next year) is located at
Tux's large belly. The penguin's two feet make up the split ergonomic
keyboard (without those annoying Windows keys, of course). A 36X CD-ROM
drive fits into Tux's mouth. Tux's left eye is actually the reboot button
(can be reconfigured for other purposes since it is rarely used) and his
right eye is the power button. The iTux case opens up from the back,
allowing easy access for screwdriver-wielding nerds into Tux's guts.

The US$995.95 model contains an Alpha CPU and all the usual stuff found in a
Linux-class machine. More expensive models, to be debuted next year, will
feature dual or quad Alpha CPUs and a larger size.
