- End of an era: our CVSweb service turned 21 today, and was promptly retired. Our anoncvs was similarly shut down at the age of 21 two years ago, quietly.All of our projects previously maintained in CVS are now in Git (yes, older ones with commit histories for ~20 years) and under the Openwall organization on GitHub. There are a total of 22 Git repositories now. openwall.com/lists/announce… github.com/openwall
