It didn't take 10 minutes to complete the migration.  So from now on to
get access to the source on trunk:

  $ svn co https://ro-oslib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ro-oslib/trunk oslib
  $ cd oslib/\!OsLib
  $ make

If you want a particular release, they were all very nicely tagged so for
e.g. version 6.90, you do instead:

  $ svn co https://ro-oslib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ro-oslib/tags/oslib-690 oslib690

You can do repository browsing using
<URL:http://ro-oslib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ro-oslib/>.

More sf.net info on SVN can be found at:
<URL:http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09>.

RISC OS users can use the following SVN client:
<URL:http://www.cp15.org/versioncontrol/>.

There is still read-only access to the old CVS repository.  It is clear
that this one is now frozen.  For developers, I've disabled write-access.
If you would still have uncommited CVS changes, you can easily 'diff -u' +
'patch' it over a freshly checked out SVN copy and continue working.

Next steps are to bring the website up-to-date and sort out SVN commit
mailing list.

John.
