+    <p>[21 April] <strong>The <a href="/xsf/XFree86/">repository snapshot</a> page is going to change soon.</strong>
+    For almost a month, I've been testing a <a href="/xsf/XFree86-svnsite-test/">new way</a> of generating and updating
+    the page.  The most important differences are that archives of old snapshots will be deleted after 7 days instead of
+    30, duplicates of previous snapshots are not created, and the names of snapshotted files, directories, and archives
+    now include the Subversion revision number.  Please <a href="/xsf/XFree86-svnsite-test/">have a look</a> and the
+    <code>debian-x</code> mailing list know if there are any problems.  If you're curious to see the script I use for
+    this purpose, <a href="http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/~branden/svnsite";>here it is</a>.  It's written generically
+    enough (I hope) that it can be useful for SVN-based projects other than Debian's packages of XFree86.

     corresponding source, which violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines (see <a
