   5 <p>Surprising as it might sound, there are still computers using the
   6 traditional Sys V init system, and there probably will be until
   7 systemd start working on Hurd and FreeBSD.
   8 <a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit">The upstream
   9 project still exist</a>, though, and up until today, the upstream
  10 source was available from Savannah via subversion.  I am happy to
  11 report that this just changed.</p>
  12
  13 <p>The upstream source is now in Git, and consist of three
  14 repositories:</p>
  15
  16 <ul>
  17
  18 <li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit.git">sysvinit</a></li>
  19 <li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/insserv.git">insserv</a></li>
  20 <li><a href="http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit/startpar.git">startpar</a></li>
  21
  22 </ul>
  23
  24 <p>I do not really spend much time on the project these days, and I
  25 has mostly retired, but found it best to migrate the source to a good
  26 version control system to help those willing to move it forward.</p>
