+ <description><p>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.
+<a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit">The upstream
+project still exist</a>, though, and up until today, the upstream
+source was available from Savannah via subversion. I am happy to
+report that this just changed.</p>
+
+<p>The upstream source is now in Git, and consist of three
+repositories:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit.git">sysvinit</a></li>
+<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/insserv.git">insserv</a></li>
+<li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/startpar.git">startpar</a></li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
