Announcement: Skara update to support CVS and SourceForge

[Remi Forax]

Hi Magnus,
at last !
We can now say that the OpenJDK is pulling forward.
 
Is there a SCCS addon somewhere, because it will be hard for me to migrate otherwise ?

> About CVS
> 
> CVS is a revolutionary revision control system, which allow concurrent
> usage from multiple, independent developers. The ability to host CVS on
> a remote server has made it extremely popular for development projects
> which has run into scalability issues with local RCS, or RCS over NFS.
> CVS also introduces the concept of a "branch", which allows for a single
> repository to contain multiple, independent versions of a software
> product to be developed, in parallel.
> 
> About SourceForge
> 
> SourceForge is the leading center of software development on Internet.
> It has jump-started from obscurity to being "the place to be" for all
> open source developers. With it's modern suite of collaboration tools,
> including online accessible SVN repositories, per-project mailing lists,
> and an option to use the new secure "https" protocol, it offers
> world-class support to make any open source project a success.
