+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Surprising as it might sound, there are still computers using the
+traditional Sys V init system, and there probably will be until
+systemd start working on Hurd and FreeBSD.
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit&quot;&gt;The upstream
+project still exist&lt;/a&gt;, though, and up until today, the upstream
+source was available from Savannah via subversion.  I am happy to
+report that this just changed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The upstream source is now in Git, and consist of three
+repositories:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit.git&quot;&gt;sysvinit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/insserv.git&quot;&gt;insserv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/startpar.git&quot;&gt;startpar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I do not really spend much time on the project these days, and I
+has mostly retired, but found it best to migrate the source to a good
+version control system to help those willing to move it forward.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Metadata_proposal_for_movies_on_the_Internet_Archive.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Metadata_proposal_for_movies_on_the_Internet_Archive.html</guid>

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It would be easier to locate the movie you want to watch in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.archive.org/&quot;&gt;the Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;, if the
-metadata about each movie was more complete and accurate.  In the
-archiving community, a well known saying state that good metadata is a
-love letter to the future.  The metadata in the Internet Archive could
-use a face lift for the future to love us back.  Here is a proposal
-for a small improvement that would make the metadata more useful
-today.  I&#39;ve been unable to find any document describing the various
-standard fields available when uploading videos to the archive, so
-this proposal is based on my best quess and searching through several
-of the existing movies.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have a few use cases in mind.  First of all, I would like to be
-able to count the number of distinct movies in the Internet Archive,
-without duplicates.  I would further like to identify the IMDB title
-ID of the movies in the Internet Archive, to be able to look up a IMDB
-title ID and know if I can fetch the video from there and share it
-with my friends.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Second, I would like the Butter data provider for The Internet
-archive
-(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/butterproviders/butter-provider-archive&quot;&gt;available
-from github&lt;/a&gt;), to list as many of the good movies as possible.  The
-plugin currently do a search in the archive with the following
-parameters:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-collection:moviesandfilms
-AND NOT collection:movie_trailers
-AND -mediatype:collection
-AND format:&quot;Archive BitTorrent&quot;
-AND year
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Most of the cool movies that fail to show up in Butter do so
-because the &#39;year&#39; field is missing.  The &#39;year&#39; field is populated by
-the year part from the &#39;date&#39; field, and should be when the movie was
-released (date or year).  Two such examples are
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/SidneyOlcottsBen-hur1905&quot;&gt;Ben Hur
-from 1905&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/Caminandes2GranDillama&quot;&gt;Caminandes
-2: Gran Dillama from 2013&lt;/a&gt;, where the year metadata field is
-missing.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-So, my proposal is simply, for every movie in The Internet Archive
-where an IMDB title ID exist, please fill in these metadata fields
-(note, they can be updated also long after the video was uploaded, but
-as far as I can tell, only by the uploader):
-
-&lt;dl&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;mediatype&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;Should be &#39;movie&#39; for movies.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;collection&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;Should contain &#39;moviesandfilms&#39;.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;title&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;The title of the movie, without the publication year.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;date&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;The data or year the movie was released.  This make the movie show
-up in Butter, as well as make it possible to know the age of the
-movie and is useful to figure out copyright status.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;director&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;The director of the movie.  This make it easier to know if the
-correct movie is found in movie databases.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;publisher&lt;/dt&gt;
-&lt;dd&gt;The production company making the movie.  Also useful for
-identifying the correct movie.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;dt&gt;links&lt;/dt&gt;
-
-&lt;dd&gt;Add a link to the IMDB title page, for example like this: &amp;lt;a
-href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028496/&quot;&amp;gt;Movie in
-IMDB&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.  This make it easier to find duplicates and allow for
-counting of number of unique movies in the Archive.  Other external
-references, like to TMDB, could be added like this too.&lt;/dd&gt;
-
-&lt;/dl&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I did consider proposing a Custom field for the IMDB title ID (for
-example &#39;imdb_title_url&#39;, &#39;imdb_code&#39; or simply &#39;imdb&#39;, but suspect it
-will be easier to simply place it in the links free text field.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I created
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb&quot;&gt;a
-list of IMDB title IDs for several thousand movies in the Internet
-Archive&lt;/a&gt;, but I also got a list of several thousand movies without
-such IMDB title ID (and quite a few duplicates).  It would be great if
-this data set could be integrated into the Internet Archive metadata
-to be available for everyone in the future, but with the current
-policy of leaving metadata editing to the uploaders, it will take a
-while before this happen.  If you have uploaded movies into the
-Internet Archive, you can help.  Please consider following my proposal
-above for your movies, to ensure that movie is properly
-counted. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The list is mostly generated using wikidata, which based on
-Wikipedia articles make it possible to link between IMDB and movies in
-the Internet Archive.  But there are lots of movies without a
-Wikipedia article, and some movies where only a collection page exist
-(like for &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminandes&quot;&gt;the
-Caminandes example above&lt;/a&gt;, where there are three movies but only
-one Wikidata entry).&lt;/p&gt;
