+	  <title>FreeBSD begins switch to Subversion</title>
+
+	  <p>The FreeBSD Project has begun the switch of its source code
+	    management system from CVS to <a
+	    href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">Subversion</a>.  At this
+	    point in time, FreeBSD's developers are making changes to the
+	    base system in the Subversion repository.  We have a replication
+	    system in place that exports our work to the legacy CVS tree on
+	    a continuous basis.</p>
+
+	  <p>People who are using our extensive CVS based distribution
+	    network (including anoncvs, CVSup, cvsweb, ftp) will not be
+	    interrupted by our work-in-progress.  We are committed to
+	    maintaining the existing CVS based distribution system for
+	    at least the support lifetime of all existing &quot;stable&quot;
+	    branches.  Security and errata patches will continue to be made
+	    available in their usual CVS locations.</p>
+
+	  <p>We expect to make our Subversion based source tree and other 
+	    supporting infrastructure public soon.  There will be new
+	    mailing lists to subscribe to if you wish to receive Subversion
+	    commit notifications.</p>
+
+	  <p>Our ports, doc and www trees are not affected at this time.  A
+	    separate decision will be made regarding those CVS repositories
+	    soon.</p>
+
+	  <p>Many people have contributed to the effort, but we wish
+	    to thank Michael Haggerty and the <a
+	    href="http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/">cvs2svn</a> project developers
+	    for their assistance with cvs2svn.  <a
+	    href="mailto:peter@FreeBSD.org">Peter Wemm</a> spent several weeks
+	    of <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!'s</a> time repairing
+	    the CVS tree, preparing for and performing the conversion, and
+	    the configuration of the Subversion infrastructure.  Yahoo!
+	    donated the server hardware.</p>
