The Free Software Foundation will be moving to a new office on
Friday April 29, 2005.
Starting Friday morning (GMT-4) and extending through the weekend, the
following FSF services will be unavailable:
* fencepost.gnu.org: GNU project shell server
* lists.gnu.org, lists.nongnu.org: Mailing list services
* mail.gnu.org: FSF/GNU mail server
* order.fsf.org: On-line ordering system
* rt.gnu.org: FSF/GNU request tracking system
The FSF has backup mail servers that are located off-site which will
be able to accept mail during the downtime. This means that mail to
gnu.org, nongnu.org, and fsf.org addresses (including mailing lists)
will be delayed but will be delivered.
The FSF is releasing a new version of the GPL! Unfortunately, it's
not version 3 yet. Instead, it's the third revision of version 2. Like
the previous revision, it will differ only in that it will contain
FSF's new address. This version will be available and effective on
Friday, April 29, 2005.
When you next get the chance, please go through your source code and
replace the old copy of the GPL with the new version. Also, old
notices should be replaced with new ones. The following shell command
will do this for you in a sloppy way; its results should be carefully
checked:
find . -type f -exec sed -ie 's/59 Temple Place, Suite 330/51 Franklin
Street, Fifth Floor/;s/02111-1307/02110-1301/;' {} ';'
We will also be releasing new revisions of the LGPL and the FDL.
