Working on individual tech sovereignty together. Valgrind was picked for a FUTO microgrant, which has been donated to Sourceware through the Software Freedom Conservancy for maintaining and expanding the infrastructure for Valgrind and other Free Software core toolchain and developer tool projects.

If you also want to help Sourceware please become a Conservancy Sustainer or donate directly by mentioning Sourceware as comment or on the memo line.

HTML email. Public-inbox doesn't handle HTML so inbox.sourceware.org was incomplete (since most sourceware mailinglists do accept HTML email). We now have a filter that removes redundant HTML parts, if there is at least a text/plain alternative, before storing in public-inbox. And we re-imported missing emails to make the archives complete.

But please don't sent HTML email. It will make DKIM verification of your email impossible.

sourceware.org suffered hardware failure and had to be restored from backups. We do not believe any data was lost in the CVS repository. We did lose any pending messages in the mail queue as that does not get backed up. At this time, everything should be functional except for htdig. The mailing list archives on the web site are also out of date and will be updated soon. New mail will update the archives correctly, however. If you find any other problems, please email overseers@sourceware.org

The name sourceware.cygnus.com will continue to work for an extended period of time (similar to the way the egcs.cygnus.com->gcc.gnu.org rename has been done).

June 19, 2000

binutils 2.10 is out! After two long, harrowing years, the binutils release you've been waiting for is out.

We can still show off our "photo album" even if we are a public company with a stock price which is, er, well, y'know (and don't tell our lawyers I even mentioned the subject of the stock price :-)).

January 13, 2000

How does Red Hat's acquisition of Cygnus affect this site?

For now, very little. We thought about "conducting a process of re-engineering and re-branding with the aim of integrating our free software community outreach programs into our corporate objectives". But then we said "naah, let's just continue to have a great site to develop free software and work on making it even better".

In particular, we plan to be careful about changing the host name sourceware.cygnus.com or anything else which may require you to update your habits, CVS/Root files, etc. The name will have to change but before we go changing things around we'd kind of like to at least have a plausible guess about what we are going to change them to :-). We don't want you to have to switch over twice.

November 22, 1999
